PayNow increases limit for ad-hoc transactions to $5,000

Users may also set their own PayNow limit.

The nine banks participating in PayNow service will now allow ad-hoc transactions of at least $5,000 or more, the Association of Banks in Singapore announced.

The increase limit applies to both internet banking and mobile application channels,and includes both scan-and-pay transactions and transfers initiated by entering the NRIC, mobile number, or Unique Entity Number (UEN) of the recipient, without first going through the process of adding the recipient as a payee.

For transactions exceeding $1,000, customers will be required to key in their Second Factor Authentication (2FA).

PayNow previously set the daily transaction limit at $1,000.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
