PayNow

PayNow is Singapore‘s real time payment network, which allows users to do instant money transfer using their mobile number, Singapore National Registration Identity Card (NRIC), and Foreign Identification Number (FIN). This QR payment method is currently very popular and familiar to shoppers, and is also cost-saving for merchants, as its cost is generally lower than cards in Singapore.
