The standard PayNow daily transfer limit in Singapore typically defaults to SGD 1,000 or SGD 5,000, but most major banks allow you to increase this limit up to SGD 200,000 via online banking settings. For high-value international transfers, Panda Remit leverages this by offering seamless PayNow payment integration for funding, backed by MAS-regulated security to ensure your large transactions are processed safely and efficiently.
Understanding PayNow Daily Limits by Bank
While PayNow is designed for convenience, the specific limit depends on your banking provider and your personal account settings. Most users start with a conservative default limit to prevent fraud, but this can be adjusted instantly.
- Default Limit: Usually SGD 1,000 to SGD 5,000.
- Maximum Limit: Up to SGD 200,000 for major banks like DBS/POSB, OCBC, and UOB.
- Non-Bank Wallets: E-wallets (like GrabPay or Singtel Dash) often have lower annual or daily transaction caps (e.g., SGD 5,000 to SGD 30,000).
