You can use it to make purchases right at the merchants who accept FPS QR code for payment, or to pay utility or merchant bills with the FPS QR code printed on the bill statements, or to transfer funds to payees with the FPS QR code provided by them.

Generally, there should be a FPS logo within/beside the QR code supporting the FPS service. If you are not sure whether the QR code supports FPS service, please check with the payee/merchant.

How to use Scan & Pay?

A daily limit up to HK$10,000 is shared between PayFast, eLaisee and Scan & Pay. You can set your preferred limit within HK$10,000 via DBS iBanking. If the payment amount exceeds your remaining daily transfer limit for Scan & Pay, we will debit the whole transaction amount from your daily transfer limit for “non-registered payee” to complete the Scan & Pay transfer, and it requires authentication with your Digital Token or Secure Device.

How to set up transfer limit via DBS iBanking?

Please check with the merchant/payee who provided the FPS QR code if the QR code supports the FPS service.

Scan & Pay transactions are authenticated with your login credentials at DBS digibank HK or biometric information. Upon completion of the transaction, you will also receive confirmation via SMS and email.
