SINGAPORE - Instant fund transfer services PayNow and Fast will open up to non-bank financial institutions from February next year, marking an era of intense competition in the e-wallet space.
Currently, only account holders with 23 banks can instantly move funds across banks through PayNow or Fast, or both. But going forward, such fund transfers may also be possible from e-wallets like GrabPay and Singtel Dash.
