I think you just edit the rsp amount to get it counted! I have received 3 times rebates so far, once last year, twice this year. Changing the invested amount for ABF as it drops none stop.

I increased my RSP amount from 400 to 600 for August 15 deduction for nikko ETF. So far no cashback yet.

If one is an occasional user of Paylah, does it make any sense to keep money in the Paylah wallet itself?

Any payment made using Paylah automatically gets debited from the linked bank account. AND, it is possible to modify the settings such that any money received into Paylah immediately goes into the bank account.

In which case, Paylah is just the conduit/medium, but what purpose does it serve by itself? And why would anyone retain money there in the Paylah wallet?

Initially some people scared of having electronic payment that directly link to saving account and too easily debit fund from the account especially old people. Or when you want to let your child use the paylah for payment but don't want to switch on the auto debit function, then the wallet is useful.

only used Paylah! for taxi and cai png so far. No point have any balance in the wallet since no interest to be earned.

actually you're somehow right abt old people. very paranoid one.

once i was actually helping a elderly to top up her mrt card cos she not well versed with tech so i help her using my samsung pay as she passed me cash. end up she asked me for almost eternity (5 mins) if i encode her card into my phone and kept her NRIC/name/DOB/whatnot. since then i learnt that can help elderly but never attempt to top their cards again using my card/phone.

For POSB/DBS digibank users who do not have PayLah! registered. Just download the PayLah! app , enter Promo code: GADUYR788 to get free $5 instantly

Why don't just enable 'Auto debit" from savings a/c functions.
This will reduce the need to keep money in the e-wallet.

i keep facing "please download the latest version of app before opening a paylah! account" error message when i try to sign up even though it is already updated version.... anyone face this issue before?

 

[revhappy]

I notice paylah now, forced to have a dbs account. Last time can link any bank account. Now it is like not independent. Anybody knows why they did this?

Wrong transaction on DBS PayLah!

Hi!

Have you ever accidentally sent money to another person wrongly via cashless payment methods (i.e. DBS PayLah, GrabPay etc.)? And, the recipient refused or declined to return the money to you?

What exactly u want to know? How to recover the amount sent wrongly?

I would like to know the story between the sender and recipient. For example, the sender has made a wrong transaction of approx. more than SGD $100 to a stranger accidentally. However, the recipient refuses to return the money. Hence, the sender has to then make a police report as the bank itself cannot do anything without the consent of the recipient.

 

[silverbomb]

in this case, get police involved.

someone sent me wrong amount and i wasn't aware. end up police rang me up gotta even go Cantonment for statement. i ended up returning the wrong amount as genuinely i did not know of an incoming transfer among so many transactions. police closed the case.

why the bank didn't call you? it must be shocking to receive call from police..
