Yes, you can use DBS PayLah! to make PayNow transfers. The two systems are fully integrated, allowing you to send funds to any PayNow-registered mobile number or UEN directly from your PayLah! app. This interoperability also enables you to fund international remittances effortlessly. By selecting PayNow as your payment method on Panda Remit, you can pay using PayLah! to enjoy seamless payment processing and lightning-fast transfers that arrive in as little as 2 minutes.
How PayLah! and PayNow Work Together
While DBS PayLah! is a mobile wallet and PayNow is a peer-to-peer funds transfer service, they function together to simplify payments in Singapore. You do not need a specific "PayNow app"; instead, you use the PayLah! interface to scan PayNow QR codes or enter recipient details. This is particularly useful for cross-border transactions, where you can use your local wallet to fund global transfers.
Step-by-Step: How to Use PayLah! for Global Remittance via PayNow
To send money overseas using Panda Remit and funding it via your PayLah! wallet, follow this simple 3-step guide:
- Initiate Your Transfer: Open the Panda Remit app, enter the amount you wish to send (e.g., SGD 1,000), and select your recipient's country. You will immediately see the competitive exchange rate and fees.
- Select PayNow at Checkout: Choose PayNow as your payment method. Panda Remit will generate a unique UEN or QR code for the transaction.
- Pay via PayLah!: Open your DBS PayLah! app, tap on the "Scan/Pay" function, and scan the Panda Remit QR code (or enter the UEN). Confirm the payment to complete the transfer.
