PayNow NRIC/FIN

In support of Singapore’s vision to be chequeless by 2025, our default policy payout method will progressively be changing to PayNow NRIC/FIN from October 2024.


PayNow NRIC/FIN is an electronic fund transfer service that allows you to receive Singapore Dollars funds conveniently as long as you register PayNow by using NRIC/FIN with any of the PayNow participating banks. Terms and Conditions apply. 

However, if you have an existing GIRO arrangement with us, of which you are the account holder, or if you are receiving regular payout via Direct Credit, this change will not apply to you. You will continue to receive payouts via Direct Credit.

There are 3 digital payout options available to receive your funds where applicable:

  • PayNow UEN
  • Direct Credit
  • Telegraphic Transfers for overseas payment or non-Singapore bank account

PayNow UEN is an electronic fund transfer service that allows you to receive funds to your bank account linked to your Singapore UEN number or UEN number + suffix conveniently and efficiently.

Singapore incorporated entities, government agencies, associations, and societies which have a UEN issued in Singapore; and have Singapore bank accounts with one of the PayNow participating banks, can register PayNow with your bank via bank’s internet banking or contact your bank’s relationship manager. You may refer to your bank’s FAQ if you encounter technical issues relating to PayNow UEN registration.

  • For non-General insurance policies, you will continue to receive your funds via Direct Credit. PayNow UEN is currently not supported for non-General Insurance policies.
  • For General insurance policies, if you wish to change the payout method to PayNow UEN, kindly contact us at your preferred mode of contact at income.com.sg/contact-us.

There could be a few reasons why we were not able to pay you via PayNow UEN. These include:

  • The payout is not denominated in Singapore Dollars (SGD), or
  • Your PayNow profile is not linked to your UEN, or
  • You are currently receiving your funds via Direct Credit, or
  • The type of payout is currently not supported by PayNow UEN as Income Insurance is progressively changing the payout method from October 2024.
