To change your PayNow account from UOB to DBS, you must first deregister your mobile number or NRIC via the UOB TMRW app, then register it instantly on the DBS digibank app. Once linked, you can enjoy seamless payments via PayNow—a feature fully supported by Panda Remit for lightning-fast global transfers arriving in as little as 2 minutes.
Step-by-Step Guide: Switching PayNow from UOB to DBS
Since a mobile number or NRIC can only be linked to one bank account at a time for PayNow, you must follow this strict "Deregister-then-Register" sequence. Here is the authoritative 1-2-3 process:
Step 1: Deregister from UOB
- Log in to your UOB TMRW app.
- Navigate to Services > PayNow > Your Profile.
- Select the proxy (Mobile Number or NRIC) you wish to move and tap Deregister. Confirm the action.
Step 2: Register with DBS
- Log in to your DBS digibank mobile app.
- Tap on the Pay & Transfer tab and select PayNow.
- Tap on Your Profile and select Register Your Mobile No. (or NRIC). Follow the SMS OTP verification to finalize the link.
Step 3: Verify and Fund
Once registered, your PayNow transfers will instantly route to your DBS account. You can now use this account to fund international remittances seamlessly.
