Yes, UOB fully supports PayNow for instant fund transfers. By linking your mobile number or NRIC via the UOB TMRW app, you can execute real-time payments. This integration allows for Seamless Payment & Global Payouts when using services like Panda Remit, enabling you to fund international transfers via PayNow and ensure funds arrive in as little as 2 minutes.
Understanding UOB PayNow Capabilities
United Overseas Bank (UOB) is a key participant in Singapore's PayNow ecosystem. This service allows retail and corporate customers to send and receive Singapore Dollars instantly from one bank to another using just a mobile number, NRIC/FIN, or Company Unique Entity Number (UEN), without needing a bank account number.
How to Leverage UOB PayNow for Global Remittance
While UOB PayNow is excellent for local transfers, savvy users combine it with specialized remittance providers to save on foreign exchange fees. By funding your Panda Remit transaction using UOB PayNow, you bypass the slower processing times of traditional bank wires while securing competitive exchange rates.
3 Steps to Send Money Globally using UOB PayNow
- Initiate Transfer on Panda Remit: Open the Panda Remit app, enter the amount you wish to send (e.g., SGD to CNY, INR, or MYR), and select PayNow as your payment method.
- Copy the UEN or Scan QR: Panda Remit will generate a unique UEN or QR code for the transaction. Log in to your UOB TMRW app, select "PayNow," and enter the UEN or scan the code.
- Confirm and Track: Complete the transfer in the UOB app. Thanks to our Lightning-Fast Transfers, Panda Remit processes the funds 24/7, with money often arriving in the recipient's account within 2 minutes.
