How to accept PayNow payments

From signup to settled order.

Step 01

Create your checkout

Sign up at U.CASH Pay and create a checkout that offers PayNow alongside cards and crypto.

Step 02

Publish your PayNow proxy

Enter the mobile number or entity ID registered as your PayNow proxy, with the bank name and account holder.

Step 03

Buyer pays to the proxy

The buyer picks PayNow in their banking app, sends to your proxy, and includes the unique payment reference.

Step 04

Confirm and settle

The payment lands in seconds. Match the reference in Payments and mark the order paid.

Fees and settlement

U.CASH charges nothing on the PayNow rail, and Singaporean banks send PayNow transfers free. Settlement is seconds. Orders hold for 30 days.

Speed and settlement behavior

PayNow runs as a manual rail: the buyer initiates the transfer against your published coordinates and includes the per-order payment reference, which is what makes the reconciliation one click rather than a hunt. Settlement lands in the rail's own window, which the fees and settlement section states; there is no processor in the middle to wait on. That directness is also the operational trade: the rail sees a plain transfer, so the reference discipline is what keeps reconciliation mechanical.

The crypto alternative on the same checkout

The currencies PayNow settles, SGD, also exist on-chain where peg families trade: settle the same corridor as a token, non-custodial, final on confirmation, at network fees instead of rail fees. Buyers choose their rail; your ledger sees the same currency either way. The operational difference worth planning around is reversal: the crypto leg settles finally with no dispute window, which suits invoices and known customers, while the traditional rails keep the protections and processes their buyers expect.

PayNow: FAQ

How fast is PayNow?
Seconds, 24/7, between all participating banks in Singapore.
What is a PayNow proxy?
The mobile number or NRIC, FIN, or UEN you registered at your bank to receive PayNow payments without exposing account numbers.
Can I offer PayNow beside crypto at checkout?
Yes, that is the standard configuration: the rail serves buyers who pay from banking apps, the crypto legs serve wallet holders, and cards cover everyone else. One checkout, one Payments queue, each payment closing with its reference.
What does the buyer need to pay through PayNow?
Your paynow proxy and the payment reference for the order. The checkout shows the exact coordinates; the buyer pastes them into their banking app and sends.
Who settles disputes and support on PayNow payments?
The rail itself behaves like a bank transfer: settlement follows the rail's rules, and there is no chargeback machinery to arbitrate afterward. Your checkout records, with the per-order reference and rail confirmation, are the paper trail for any customer conversation.
