Singapore is planning to enhance its popular PayNow digital payment system by integrating it with NETS QR codes. Deputy Prime Minister Gan Kim Yong announced the initiative, aiming to streamline transactions for consumers. A pilot program, scheduled for launch by the end of 2026, will enable users of PayNow-enabled apps to directly pay merchants displaying NETS QR codes. This integration seeks to reduce the number of steps required for payment, improving user experience and convenience. The move reflects Singapore’s continued push towards a cashless society and enhanced digital financial services. Further details regarding the pilot scheme and broader implementation will be released closer to the launch date. The government anticipates widespread adoption due to the existing prevalence of both PayNow and NETS QR across the nation.
