Kusje Supersonic July 11, 2017 Share July 11, 2017 http://www.straitstimes.com/business/banking/go-cashless-with-paynow-fund-transfers-from-july-10 http://m.todayonline.com/business/uobs-paynow-goes-live-allowing-payments-using-just-mobile-number-or-nric UOB targeted for Android it seems (no I'm not affiliated). Read the links. TBH, it doesn't explain much about how it will work except that it will allow direct transfers to NRIC or mobile (DBS and SC already have competing services but seems like they will be on board with this as well). you never read news or your bank never inform you? Bank just started to inform me today. Just logged on internet banking to settle cc bills - logged onto 3 different bank portals and all of them asking me to sign up for this paynow. i think UOB Mykey can do transfer over whatsapp. UOB MyKey and PayNow.png Tks. But I'm not going to download their custom keyboard for this lol. I like my keyboard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kusje Supersonic July 11, 2017 Share July 11, 2017 (edited) i downloaded the keyboard but switch back to my default one, in case i need to do transfer then i switch to the bank keyboard. Good idea... But I don't have any other savings account except DBS lol. Wait for them to catch up then. BTW, who the heck would give others their NRIC number?!

hsl118 6th Gear July 11, 2017 Author Share July 11, 2017 Interesting how UOB is only targeting Android users for now. Gonna find out more to understand the tech behind this, tbh surprised MAS actually allowed this to take off. AML/CFT out of the window.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volvobrick Supersonic July 11, 2017 Share July 11, 2017 Should be phone number plus emails like paypal rather than NRIC, then can link multiple bank accounts with multiple emails. We Singaporeans really one kind, good ideas we should just copy, don't feel shy about it, rather than come up crappy alternative solution. Just copy Alipay for example.

Enye Hypersonic July 11, 2017 Share July 11, 2017 (edited) DBS pay lah app also can pay to mobile numbers but hardly anyone uses it i signed up previously because they were giving $10 (or was it $5?) cash gift which i promptly transferred to my bank account Edited July 11, 2017 by Enye Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
inlinesix Supersonic July 11, 2017 Share July 11, 2017 Wechat is the platform.... Then the question is, why hasn't whatapp copied this? It should be quite easy for a company with the resources of facebook to do this. WeChat is China OS. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kusje Supersonic July 11, 2017 Share July 11, 2017 WeChat is China OS. What's the semantic difference between platform and OS? Actually, isn't it just an app? DBS pay lah app also can pay to mobile numbers but hardly anyone uses it i signed up previously because they were giving $10 (or was it $5?) cash gift which i promptly transferred to my bank account Me too. But I've used it a few times for payment (less than 5 times). Quite handy if others have it la. But everytime I ask others, they don't have it. Interesting how UOB is only targeting Android users for now. Gonna find out more to understand the tech behind this, tbh surprised MAS actually allowed this to take off. AML/CFT out of the window.. What's the limit of $ per transfer per person? Don't think it will affect AML that much la. Since it is already linked to HP number and NRIC and you need a bank account to cash out.
