Frequenty Asked Questions

What does sending to a mobile number or email address mean?

Sending to a mobile number or email address is a feature of InstaPay which allows you to send money instantly to another bank or e-wallet without having to type your recipient’s account number. Instead, you type or select his mobile number or email address if he has linked it to his bank or e-wallet account.

Why is this important to me as a recipient of money?

If you are a customer of an InstaPay partner and you link your account to a mobile number or email address, there is no need to give out your account number to the person sending you money.

My account is with an e-wallet which already uses my mobile number as the account number. Will this InstaPay feature provide any added value to my account?

Although e-wallets are not yet partners for this feature, you can still receive money from other partner banks and e-wallets since your mobile number is your e-wallet account number. 

If your bank has this InstaPay feature, you can also link your mobile number to your bank account because with this feature, you can link the same mobile number or email address to your account.
