Frequently Asked Questions

You may deregister your PayNow profile first and then apply for PayNow with DBS/POSB using the steps mentioned above.
Once you receive your blue NRIC, please proceed to the nearest DBS/POSB branch to update your NRIC in the bank's records. During the update process, your FIN Proxy will be de-registered from PayNow and your NRIC will become eligible for registration.

You can subsequently register your NRIC as a PayNow Proxy, via digibank Online, iWealth app or your digibank App.
