Monthly transactions in PayNow cross $1b mark

Over 3 million in combined mobile and NRIC numbers are registered to the service.

The value of PayNow transactions per month crossed the $1b mark for three consecutive months since July, announced the Association of Banks in Singapore (ABS).

As at 30 September, more than 120,000 UENs and close to 3 million in combined mobile and NRIC numbers are registered with PayNow.

PayNow, a peer-to-peer funds transfer service, can be used for utilities bill payments, tuition fee payments and insurance payouts.

A similar service for businesses, PayNow Corporate was launched in August 2018 to enable businesses to pay and receive funds across nine PayNow participating banks instantaneously by linking their Unique Entity Number (UEN) to their Singapore bank account.

The nine banks offering PayNow are Bank of China, Citibank Singapore, DBS Bank/POSB, HSBC, ICBC, Maybank, OCBC Bank, Standard Chartered, and United Overseas Bank (UOB).

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.
