“Most customers pay in cash and it slows down our service. PayNow addresses this issue directly making it easy for us to collect using QR code. We will introduce this solution in selected outlets first before rolling it out across our network of 27 stores.”

“Since implementing PayNow QR code in our digital invoices for parents, it is now easier for parents to sign-up and pay for enrichment classes. The impact has been great, there are now zero no-shows. PayNow QR has tremendously helped our business. With the addition of PayNow into SGQR, it will be easier for businesses to expand their collection modes.”
