Yes, PayNow fully supports DBS PayLah!. You can link your PayLah! wallet to PayNow to send and receive funds instantly using just a mobile number or UEN. This integration allows for seamless payment via PayNow on platforms like Panda Remit (Advantage D), ensuring your global transfers are processed in as little as 2 minutes (Advantage A).
Understanding the PayNow and PayLah! Connection
Many users in Singapore confuse the two, but they work hand-in-hand. PayNow is the national peer-to-peer funds transfer service, while DBS PayLah! is a mobile wallet app. By registering your PayLah! wallet with PayNow, you enable seamless interoperability. This means you can use your PayLah! app to scan any PayNow QR code or send money to any PayNow-registered mobile number, making it an ideal funding source for both local merchants and international remittance services.
How to Use PayLah! via PayNow for International Remittance
Leveraging the PayNow support within PayLah! allows you to fund cross-border transactions efficiently. Follow this 1-2-3 step guide to send money globally using Panda Remit:
- Initiate Your Transfer: Open the Panda Remit app, enter the amount you wish to send (e.g., SGD to CNY, INR, or MYR), and view the competitive exchange rates that beat traditional banks.
