GPIR Summary

MAS and the Association of Banks in Singapore announced they will study four areas of enhancement to Singapore's PayNow instant payment infrastructure under a 'PayNow Generation 2' initiative, announced at the ABS Annual Dinner on 25 June 2026.

Why It Matters

PayNow is Singapore's core retail instant-payment rail; enhancements here affect how consumers, merchants and public agencies transact domestically and set direction for Singapore's broader instant-payments interoperability with regional schemes.
