Important Guidance on Use of SGQR Labels 

  1. You only need to display one SGQR label at each of your physical storefronts or point-of-sale locations. 
  2. Only plain frames are allowed for display of SGQR labels. 
  3. Use your single SGQR label instead of multiple non-SGQR payment rail specific QRs at your physical storefront or point-of-sale.

FAQs

Singapore Quick Response Code (SGQR) is a single QR code that combines multiple e-payment QR codes into one. It is intended to simplify QR e-payments in Singapore for both consumers and merchants.

What is the criteria to sign up for PayNow on SGQR?

Customer must have PayNow registered with DBS.

Is there a SGQR App for consumers to use? What are the apps available for my customers to scan a SGQR with PayNow?

There is no SGQR mobile app. Customers of PayNow participating banks (https://www.abs.org.sg/consumer-banking/pay-now) can scan a PayNow-SGQR Code to make PayNow payments using the existing mobile banking applications.

What are the different logos under the SGQR?

These logos represent the payment schemes that are registered on the SGQR.

I am displaying a static PayNow QR in my shop for PayNow collections and I am not using any other payment schemes or e-wallets for collection. Do I need to move to SGQR even though I am on a single payment scheme?

Yes, you should only use a single SGQR label for display at your physical storefront or point-of-sale location. For additional details on the proper use of SGQR labels, click here.

What is “Payment Reference” and how is this field used?

“Payment Reference” is an optional field (up to 25 characters) that can be included in your SGQR label for the PayNow scheme. If “Payment Reference” is included in the SGQR PayNow registration, the SGQR generated will include this payment reference and your customers will not be able to amend the payment reference during payment. The “Payment Reference” will be included in all Inward PayNow transactions received via this SGQR and will be reflected in your IDEAL statement.

What is “Terminal ID” and how is this field used?

“Terminal ID” is an optional field. This field is used when there is a need to generate multiple SGQR IDs for the same outlet address. For example, you have PayNow Proxy 1 and PayNow proxy 2 for outlet address postal code 123456, you can register for SGQR using the following setup:

  • PayNow Proxy 1
    • Name on Label: ABC Pte Ltd
    • Postal Code: 123456
    • Terminal ID: 001
  • PayNow Proxy 2
    • Name on Label: ABC Pte Ltd
