I just downloaded Paylah and try just now. But they say my account got no funds. I thought can scan QR code and pay via paynow?

Is there any way to use Paylah if no DBS account?

Sorry for the noob qns cos I only have 1 local bank account UOB. The rest is HSBC & Citibank

DBS PayLah!
DBS PayLah is a mobile wallet which can be downloaded as an app onto your smartphone.

You don’t have to have a DBS/POSB bank account to use PayLah, but if you do, you can send and receive money directly from your bank account using the app’s autodebit function.

If you’re using PayLah with an account from another bank, you need to transfer money to and from the PayLah! Wallet using internet banking. When you make payment to someone, you have to make sure your wallet is topped up. Quite troublesome right?

Luckily, PayLah now supports PayNow. This means that you will be able to transfer funds to all accounts (whether DBS/POSB, or other banks) using PayLah even if the recipient only has PayNow and has not registered for PayLah!

Other than the above, PayLah lets you paying by scanning a QR code, which is supported by an increasing number of merchants, including some taxis and hawker/food court stalls.

Did this change? There's an option in the app to register via Singpass if you don't have a DBS account but it doesn't work.

Called them and they said I need an account, they also dunno why that option is shown.
