DBS PayLah!

Overview

DBS PayLah! is DBS Bank's mobile wallet and one of Singapore's most widely adopted QR payment apps, with 3.5M+ users. It supports SGQR (Singapore's unified QR standard, which is EMVCo MPM-compatible), PayNow QR, and NETS QR. PayLah! also participates in cross-border QR linkages via PayNow connections to Thailand (QRIS), Malaysia (DuitNow), and India (PromptPay).

QR Format

PayLah! uses QR Code symbology with EMVCo MPM-compliant UR payloads under the SGQR framework. Cross-border QR transactions leverage the PayNow linkage protocol, which maps SGQR URs to foreign QR schemes.
