PayNow Installation Guide

PayNow is Singapore's real time payment network that is managed by the Association Bank of Singapore (ABS) and overseen by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS). Consumers and businesses can sign up to the service using their mobile number, Singapore NRIC/FIN, UEN business registration number or Virtual Payment Address (VPA is for NFI accounts ie eWallets).
