Yes, PayNow is highly safe. It operates on the secure infrastructure of Singapore's banking sector, managed by The Association of Banks in Singapore. When used with Panda Remit, a Major Payment Institution strictly regulated by the MAS (License PS20200501), your transactions are protected by bank-grade SSL encryption and multi-layered anti-fraud protocols, ensuring a secure and seamless payment experience.
Understanding PayNow Security Standards
PayNow allows users to transfer funds using just a mobile number, NRIC/FIN, or UEN, without revealing sensitive bank account details. This proxy overlay service reduces the risk of data exposure. Furthermore, when you link PayNow to a compliant remittance provider like Panda Remit, you benefit from dual-layer protection:
- Regulatory Compliance: Panda Remit is licensed by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), ensuring funds are safeguarded.
- Encryption: We utilize advanced encryption standards to protect data during the 24/7 real-time processing of your funds.
