3 ways to pay with PayLah! you probably didn’t know

If you’ve only got a minute:

There are endless reasons how life can be so much easier with DBS PayLah! but we’re highlighting a few which you can easily try today
Popular time-saves: Order meals, book tickets, take rides, buy insurance, scan to pay and more.

That nagging feeling of having to remember to pay your friends for last night’s dinner. The embarrassment at the cashier’s upon realising there’s not enough cash in your wallet. Or simply your innate refusal to dig deep for the correct combination of coins.

These need not be your worries any more. From paying at your favourite cafes to ordering food delivery, you can easily make payment without cash and settle your bills in just a few taps, all using just one app DBS PayLah!.

But we all know one person who is resistant to downloading one more app, even though it makes their lives easier. It could be your mum who has security concerns with using a bank app, or a friend who thinks PayLah! is only for sending and receiving money which won’t make a difference in their lives. This is for them.

1. Use PayLah! to PayNow anyone, and so much more!

You may have heard of using DBS PayLah! to receive and send money in just a few taps, but can you do so if the recipient doesn’t have PayLah!? In short, yes you can and it shows up as a PayNow transfer.

More than just allowing you to “PayNow” anyone, with PayLah! you can go a step further and request money from your friends or contacts (especially if they owe you money and you don’t know how to politely ask for it).

And so much more: Pay via AXS. Buy tickets. Book shows. Order meals. Enjoy deals. Take rides.... The list goes on - one app, so much you can do right at your fingertips!
