  • You can link your mobile number or NRIC to only one of your Standard Chartered current or savings accounts to receive funds via PayNow. However, each account that you have can be linked to more than one mobile number or NRIC. For example, if you have a joint account, both you and your joint account holder can link your respective mobile numbers and NRIC to the joint account.

  • With PayNow, you can make a one-time transfer to a recipient‘s registered mobile number/NRIC. You do not need to add the recipient as a payee. The total daily limit of all your one-time PayNow transfers is SGD 1,000. You will need to add the recipient as a payee if you wish to transfer a higher amount.

  • All your PayNow transfers will be recorded in your account statements and the transaction description will contain the recipient’s mobile phone number or NRIC (depending on which one was used by you for the transfer).

  • PayNow is not intended to conceal your bank account details from the party that you are transferring funds to or receiving funds from. Therefore, if you use PayNow to transfer or receive funds, the other party may still know your bank account details.

For One-Time PayNow Transfers, if you wish to transfer an amount higher than S$1,000.00 within the same day, you may do so up to a maximum cumulative amount of S$10,000.00 by entering an additional PIN / password.

    For the avoidance of doubt, where you make PayNow Transfer(s) using a Third-Party Platform, such PayNow Transfer(s) will also be subject to the same total maximum daily transfer limit (calculated on a cumulative basis) of S$1,000 as referred to above. As an example, if you have already made a One-Time PayNow Transfer of S$600 using the Bank’s mobile app, you will only be allowed to make a PayNow Transfer of a maximum amount of S$400 using a Third-Party Platform on the same day.
