DuitNow lets Malaysians send money instantly using a phone number, NRIC or business registration instead of a full account number. It's convenient — and, because transfers are instant and hard to reverse, it's worth understanding the safety basics.
How it works
DuitNow links your bank account to an ID (mobile number or NRIC). A sender picks that ID and the money arrives in seconds, 24/7, across participating banks and e-wallets — no batch delay.
Limits and reversibility
Transfers are subject to your bank's daily limits and can be near-impossible to claw back once sent. That's exactly why scammers love instant rails: verify the recipient before you confirm.
Staying safe
Only transfer to recipients you trust, never to a stranger promising to 'top up' your gaming account, and never share an OTP. Keep the transaction reference for your records.
