chevron

PayNow is a complimentary funds transfer service available 24/7 that lets you send money instantly using your payee’s mobile number, NRIC/FIN or UEN number.

Today, with UOB, you can make transfers to payees in Singapore (via PayNow), Malaysia (via DuitNow) and Thailand (via PromptPay).

PayNow is currently offered by 21 banks and 6 non-bank financial institutions. More may join at a later date. Refer to The Association of Banks in Singapore’s PayNow page for more details here.

Yes, PayNow is secure and adopts the same high security standards established by the banking industry in Singapore for funds transfer. Additional transaction signing will be required for:

  • ad-hoc PayNow transfers exceeding daily cumulative of S$1,000 and up to maximum of S$200,000; and
  • added payee transfers above S$5,000 per transaction

You may transfer funds subject to your daily or monthly transfer limits. The minimum and maximum allowable limits that can be set are S$0 and S$200,000 respectively. These follow the industry limits and cannot be adjusted.

Do ensure that you have de-registered with the other bank(s) before you attempt to register for PayNow with UOB. If you are intending to close your account(s) with the other bank(s), you will still have to de-register first as account closure(s) requires some time to be processed.

Overseas QR Payment

It is a zero-fee service that allows UOB TMRW customers to conveniently scan the respective QR codes in participating countries (Malaysia via DuitNow, Thailand via PromptPay and Indonesia via QRIS) to allow instant, secure and seamless payment to merchants when overseas.

This means the QR code is invalid or not supported. Please make sure you are scanning the right QR code acceptance mark.

The foreign exchange rate is the rate provided by NETS plus a mark-up of 2% above the foreign exchange rate. The mark-up serves to cover fees for services provided and/or administered by us and our service providers for the foreign currency transaction.

Contact the UOB Call Centre at 1800 222 2121. If you're overseas, call (65) 6222 2121 instead. We'll help fix the issue. If it takes time, please use your physical card first.

UOB Insights

It's a feature in UOB TMRW that offers you personalised information based on your account activity.

That's because we personalise the content based on your account information.

Important insights usually only disappear after you tap on them to learn more. Sometimes, they'll also disappear when newer insights are available – this usually happens if you're active on your account.

UOB Insights estimates your cash flow based on your transactions over the past 6 months. They are thus meant to be taken as guides, not hard facts.

As UOB Insights only looks at your transactions over the past 6 months, any merchant will be considered new if you haven't visited that merchant in that time frame. Also, each merchant branch is registered individually.
