Yes, DBS PayLah! fully supports PayNow, allowing users to send and receive funds instantly using just a mobile number or UEN. This integration ensures seamless payment experiences (Advantage D) for both local and cross-border transactions. By using PayLah! via PayNow to fund your transfers, Panda Remit ensures your money arrives globally in as little as 2 minutes (Advantage A).
Understanding the PayLah! and PayNow Integration
Many users in Singapore confuse the two, but they work hand-in-hand. PayLah! is a mobile wallet app by DBS, while PayNow is Singapore's peer-to-peer funds transfer service. By linking your PayLah! wallet to your PayNow profile, you can make payments to any participating bank or e-wallet in Singapore instantly. This infrastructure is crucial for modern remittance, allowing you to fund international transfers without logging into online banking.
How to Use PayLah! via PayNow for Global Remittance
Leveraging the speed of PayNow through your PayLah! app makes sending money overseas incredibly efficient. Follow these 3 simple steps to fund your transaction:
- Initiate the Transfer: Open the Panda Remit app, enter your remittance amount, and select PayNow as your payment method to lock in a competitive exchange rate.
- Generate the QR/UEN: Panda Remit will generate a unique PayNow QR code or provide a UEN (Unique Entity Number). Save the QR code or copy the UEN.
- Pay via PayLah!: Open your DBS PayLah! app, tap on the 'Scan' or 'Pay' function, and upload the QR code (or paste the UEN). Confirm the transaction to send funds instantly.
