Yes, absolutely. PayNow works seamlessly with DBS PayLah! because PayLah! is a mobile wallet designed to fully support the PayNow infrastructure. You can send and receive funds instantly using just a mobile number, UEN, or QR code. This integration allows you to easily fund cross-border transactions via Panda Remit using PayNow, ensuring seamless payments that result in lightning-fast transfers arriving in as little as 2 minutes.
Understanding the Connection: PayNow vs. PayLah!
Many users in Singapore confuse the two, but they function hand-in-hand. PayNow is the national real-time payment rail, while DBS PayLah! is a mobile wallet app that utilizes this rail. When you use PayLah!, you are essentially using the PayNow network to move money. This means you can use your PayLah! app to scan any PayNow QR code or send money to any PayNow-registered mobile number, regardless of which bank the recipient uses.
How to Use PayLah! (via PayNow) for Global Remittance
Leveraging the interoperability of PayNow and PayLah! is the most efficient way to fund international money transfers. Follow this 1-2-3 step guide to send money globally using Panda Remit:
Step 1: Initiate Transfer on Panda Remit
Open the Panda Remit app and enter the amount you wish to send. Select PayNow as your payment method. This ensures your transaction is processed 24/7 with real-time speed.
