1. Log into the app on your phone,
2. choose (More),
3. you will see your name in the top section,
4. click on the pen icon,
5. you can choose your nickname

This is for changing the username for the app. Not paynow username. You still have to change the username for paynow if you don't wish to use your real name.

i understand bro and have changed paynow user name, you can try to send money to your siblings or friends and check, it'll have the registered name with the bank in the money transferred in entry.

if it's paylah to paynow, the registered name still appears, only paylah to paylah will have nickname of sender.

Agree with you.

Don’t be stupid lah. This kind of activity better don’t go digital.

[screwballs]

Completely agree. If anyone asks advance, best to give it in person before the act.

If the number/account you pay into gets exposed or caught.
Will get called up to assist in investigation ?

Most places with QR code payment has a proper business like massage/facial. Unless you are caught in the act, there is no need to admit you received special services. Just say you were there for legitimate massage/facial

can't share much but there is another kind. some accounts were opened by young adults or kids who owe debts or do it for money and these accounts are given to launderers. there are so many accounts that these burner accounts were used for other activities after the initial laundering.

thereafter, once caught, the transactions were all scrutinised, so those that paynow, or money transferred, to these previously-laundering-accounts-now-given-for-other-purposes, were called up for questioning because the authorities cannot tell at which point in time the laundering stopped and other activities started.

i came across so tend not to go for advance payment to okts

Yeah, but if it is okt ? Only reason you transfer is for paid sex.
I know not illegal, but still got a chance to get call up to take statement ?

[screwballs]

Just an update. Confirmed that PayNow will only show your nick name to the receiver. Dont put your full name as the nick name. It will not show your phone number to the receiver.

COD still the best safest way, esp when comes to activities. No trace. The last thing u don't wan to happen is police comes into pic and they check the transactions.


I won't pay via paynow or whatever.

glad to be of help. The only name I still can't figure out how to change is the display name when we withdraw money from the atm machine. Anyone standing behind you can see your full name at the start of the transaction and potentially your bank account balance at the end of the ATM machine withdrawal transaction.

The life savings of many uncles and aunties are exposed during such transactions.

that's a good one.
