Can You Use Paynow for Flights?

Yes, Paynow Works on Any Airline on Laters.com

Yes. You can use the PayNow plan, a one-time, instant Singapore bank transfer, to book flights and buy plane tickets for any airline, on any route, in any fare class, when you check out through Laters.com. Paynow is scanned via QR code, so there's no payment surcharge or booking fee tacked onto your fare. It settles straight from your bank account, not a credit line, so what you see at checkout is what you pay.

Most airlines never built Paynow into their own booking sites. Scoot is the one notable exception, via a tie-up with its payment partner UOB, though its own fee terms have changed over time; Singapore Airlines, AirAsia, Jetstar Asia, and long-haul names such as Emirates, Qantas or Cathay Pacific do not. Book through Laters.com instead, and the airline doesn't matter: you select Paynow at our checkout, pick a plan that fits your budget, and your e-ticket is issued once payment is confirmed. It's a payment method built into our checkout, not a redirect to a separate app.

Paynow itself only comes in one form: pay the full fare now, straight from your Singapore bank account, with no instalments, interest or late fee attached, since no credit is extended. It's built for Singapore-based travellers paying in Singapore dollars, and it works whether you're booking a long-haul in business or a short domestic hop. Bank-set transaction ceilings may apply, so check your own bank's limits before you fly. Zilch is also accepted at our checkout, if you'd rather compare a credit-based option.

Split Your Flight, Pay Over Time with Paynow

With Paynow there's really only one way to pay a fare: in full, right at checkout, via a bank transfer scanned in as a QR code. This is not a credit product, so no interest, no deferral, and no credit check ever comes into it. Other plans elsewhere on Laters.com do carry interest and a check; Paynow simply isn't one of them.

PayNow moves money straight from your bank account to the fare with no credit involved, so there's no interest, no instalments and no deferred balance to worry about. Your bank, not Paynow, sets any ceiling on what you can send in one go, so the condition that matters here is your own account limit rather than a fee or a rate. Real-time account-to-account payment scheme operated by the Association of Banks in Singapore on FAST rails; the shopper scans an SGQR/PayNow QR code in their bank or e-wallet app and funds settle immediately. No credit is extended, so there is no instalment, deferral, APR or late fee. Per-transaction ceilings are set by each participating bank, not by the scheme.

Paynow is listed under one name only, with no regional variants to reconcile. Funds move straight from your bank to the airline's, so nobody is "repaid" afterward, and your e-ticket is issued in full the moment the transfer settles.

Illustrative only. The figures above are computed from the fare you set: plain division for the interest-free plans, and the plan's own illustrative rate over its stated term for monthly financing. They are not an offer, a quote, or a prediction of what you will be given. Laters.com is not the lender and takes no part in the decision: which plans appear, the instalment amounts, any interest and fees, and whether you are eligible at all are determined by the provider alone, and depend on a credit or eligibility assessment, your country and your basket. The only way to see your real plans is to choose this payment method at checkout, at which point the provider, not Laters.com, approves or declines the purchase. All plans, rates, fees and terms are estimates only and subject to approval and to change.

Paynow plans by country

Paynow Flight Booking: Available Countries

Paynow's flight-booking coverage on Laters.com sits in Southeast Asia, centred on Singapore. There is no total-markets figure supplied for Paynow, so we won't guess at how our coverage compares to the scheme's own footprint, only that the grid below reflects Paynow's own published country terms rather than our estimate of them. Fares settle in the local currency at checkout, for example SGD, rather than being converted. Check the grid for your route before you book.

Across Singapore, this option is published simply as PayNow, an instant bank transfer scheme, not an instalment plan. Because funds move directly between bank accounts at the moment of booking, there's no split into instalments, no interest and no deferred balance to repay afterward. That also means the usual instalment questions, approval checks, repayment schedules, and interest on longer terms, don't apply here since no credit is extended. Transaction ceilings are set by individual banks rather than Paynow itself, so limits can differ by bank and are worth confirming at checkout.

Laters.com vs booking direct

Why Book Your Paynow Flights on Laters.com?

Most airlines never offer PayNow at their own checkout, and the ones that do decide on their own how it works. On Laters.com, PayNow sits in one checkout that covers every airline we sell, so how you pay does not depend on who operates the flight.

Whichever airline flies the route and whichever way you choose to pay, the booking is with Laters.com. That means one place to go if your plans change or a refund is due, not a different set of rules for every airline in your search results.

  1. 1Repayment Flexibility
  2. 2Interest Rate
  3. 3Eligibility
  4. 4Approval Process

Every provider at our checkout is scored on the same 4 measures, so you can compare them like for like before you choose how to pay. See all fly now pay later provider scores →

This score is based on Paynow's published scheme mechanics, its plan structure and eligibility for flight bookings, and independent research into how it settles payments; no brand pays Laters.com to be rated. Last reviewed August 2026.

Laters.com is the merchant for every booking on this page: we sell the ticket and earn from the fare, which is the same whichever payment method you choose. No payment provider pays us for placement, ranking or its Payment Score, and this page contains no affiliate links.

Paynow is not a credit product at all, it is Singapore's real-time bank transfer scheme, settling in SGD the moment a traveller scans a QR code. That means one plan, no instalments, no APR, and no deferral to weigh up. Fine for a Singapore-based traveller who wants the fare gone today; no use to anyone hoping to spread the cost.

What works well

  • Funds settle immediately via FAST rails, no waiting on approval
  • No credit extended, so no APR or late fee ever applies
  • Available through PayNow in every participating Singapore bank or e-wallet

What to watch

  • Only one plan: pay in full at checkout
  • No instalment option if the fare is large
  • Per-transaction ceilings set by each bank, not disclosed here
  • Only usable by Singapore-based customers in SGD

4 measures, scored the same way for every provider at our checkout.

Repayment Flexibility7/10

Paynow offers exactly one plan, PayNow, paid in full at checkout with a single split count of one. There is no instalment or long-term option at all, which is what keeps this at the floor rather than higher.

Interest Rate10/10

PayNow carries no APR and no late fee, because it settles as a real-time bank transfer rather than as credit. No plan on Paynow substitutes a fee for interest, so there is nothing undercutting the 0% here.

Eligibility7/10

Paynow is offered in a single market, Singapore, settling only in SGD. That single-country reach, against Laters.com's wider footprint, is what holds this at the floor rather than higher.

Approval Process10/10

Funds settle immediately once the SGQR code is scanned, on FAST rails, with no credit extended and so no credit check of any kind. Per-transaction ceilings are set by the traveller's own bank, not by Paynow, but no decision is ever pending.

PayNowNot a credit product$1,000.00Nothing left to pay$1,000.00Nothing

What else can cost you

Interest
None. PayNow settles funds immediately as a bank transfer, not a loan, so no interest ever accrues.
Late fee
None applies, since there is no instalment schedule to fall behind on with a single upfront payment.
Early settlement
Not applicable. The fare is paid in full the moment the QR code is scanned, so there is nothing left to settle early.
Currency conversion
Transfers settle in Singapore dollars only, so a traveller paying from a non-SGD account may face their own bank's conversion cost.
Refunded flight
Any refund is returned to the traveller's bank account, since there is no ongoing plan or balance for Paynow to unwind.

This is an illustration, not a quote. What a traveller can actually transfer depends on their own bank's per-transaction ceiling, and every provider on Laters.com is costed on the same rows here so it can be compared fairly against the rest.

Where Paynow leads

  • Funds settle immediately via FAST rails, no waiting on approval
  • No credit extended, so no APR or late fee ever applies
  • Available through PayNow in every participating Singapore bank or e-wallet

Before you apply

  1. PayNow is not a credit product, so no credit check or income check applies to it at all.
  2. It works only through Singapore-based bank and e-wallet accounts settling in SGD, so it is not an option outside Singapore.
  3. Transaction ceilings are set bank by bank rather than by Paynow itself, so a very high-value fare may not clear in one transfer.
  4. Check the current scheme rules and participating banks on Paynow's own site before relying on it for a booking.

More Ways to Pay Later for Flights

Paynow and Zilch both sit at the Laters.com checkout, so this isn't a hunt for some other site, it's a choice between two ways to pay for the same ticket right here. Paynow's own offer is a single one: an instant QR-code bank transfer that settles in full at checkout, with no instalments and no credit extended. Zilch works differently, built around a pay-in-4 product rather than a one-time transfer, and you can compare Zilch for flights on Laters.com. If Paynow isn't available where you are, these are the other providers that can spread the cost of your flight.

Other providers

Zilch

Pay in 4 instalments
Zilch

Zilch splits the fare into instalments rather than taking full payment upfront, and approval is not guaranteed since a credit check typically applies before checkout is confirmed.

Coverage varies by market; check Zilch's site for your country

Klarna

Pay in instalments or later
Klarna

Klarna offers several ways to delay or split a fare, and while paying nothing today is on the table, the balance is still owed on a schedule and some plans carry interest or a credit check.

Widely available across multiple regions; confirm your country on Klarna's site

Afterpay

Pay in 4 instalments
Afterpay

Afterpay splits a booking into smaller payments over time, and missing one can bring a late fee, so it works best when the schedule is one you can actually keep.

Affirm is built for spreading a larger fare across monthly payments rather than a short pay-in-4 run, and approval depends on a credit check with interest possible depending on the plan chosen.

FAQs: using Paynow to book flights

Everything you need to know about paying for flights with Paynow on Laters.com.

Can I book flights with Paynow on Laters.com?

Yes. On Laters.com you can pay for a flight with Paynow, which settles the fare in full at checkout by scanning an SGQR or PayNow QR code from your bank or e-wallet app. This is a real-time account-to-account transfer rather than a credit or instalment plan, so there is no splitting the fare into later payments, no deferral and no APR. It suits travellers who want funds to leave their account straight away rather than spread the cost over time.

Which airlines can I pay for with Paynow?

All of them on Laters.com. Paynow is a payment method built into our checkout rather than a scheme individual airlines switch on or off, so every airline we sell can be paid for this way. You choose your flight first and select Paynow at the payment step, the same as you would with a card. No airline is excluded and no separate sign-up with the carrier is needed.

Does paying with Paynow cost extra on Laters.com?

No. Laters.com adds no payment surcharge and no booking fee for using Paynow, so the fare you see is the same one you would pay by card. Because Paynow settles funds immediately as a bank transfer rather than extending credit, there is no late fee to worry about and no interest-bearing plan attached to it, unlike instalment-style BNPL options. You simply pay the ticket price in full through your bank or e-wallet app.

How soon do I get my e-ticket after paying with Paynow?

Your e-ticket is issued once the payment is confirmed. Because PayNow settles on FAST rails and funds move in real time, confirmation from your bank typically comes through very fast, and Laters.com generates the e-ticket as soon as that confirmation is received. There's no instalment approval step to wait on, since PayNow is a direct transfer rather than a credit product. Keep an eye on your email and your Laters.com account for the ticket and booking reference.

Is there a credit check when I use Paynow for flights?

No. Paynow does not extend credit, so no credit check is run when you use it to pay for a flight on Laters.com. It works as a real-time transfer of your own funds from your bank account, verified through your bank's or e-wallet's own authentication rather than any lender's affordability assessment. Because no borrowing is involved, there is nothing to repay later and no risk of a missed-payment mark against your name from this method specifically. For current details on how PayNow works, see the provider entry on Wikipedia.

What happens if a Paynow payment fails or doesn't go through?

It simply won't confirm the booking. Because Paynow is a same-time bank transfer rather than a credit plan, there is no instalment schedule to miss and no late fee attached to the method itself, so a failed transfer typically just means the payment did not settle and the booking will not be ticketed. You would need to retry the payment or choose another method to complete checkout. If you're unsure why a transfer didn't go through, check with your bank or e-wallet provider, since limits are set at that level rather than by Laters.com.

Which countries can I use Paynow from on Laters.com?

Singapore is the market where Paynow is available on Laters.com. It's offered there simply as PayNow, an instant QR-code bank transfer processed and settled in Singapore dollars for customers based in Singapore. Outside Singapore, Paynow is not a payment option at our checkout, so travellers booking from other countries will see different payment methods depending on where they are. Always check the payment options shown at checkout for your specific location.

Which payment option suits an expensive or long-haul fare on Laters.com?

For a long-haul or higher-cost fare, an instalment or deferred-payment plan is usually more useful than Paynow, since Paynow settles the full amount from your bank account immediately rather than spreading the cost. Paynow has no built-in splitting, deferral or minimum and maximum basket range of its own, as per-transaction ceilings are instead set by each participating bank. If spreading a large fare over time matters to you, compare the instalment-style plans available on Laters.com in your market, bearing in mind those plans can carry a credit check and, in some cases, an APR.

Does using Paynow affect my credit score?

Not when you pay this way, no. Paynow is a real-time bank transfer, not a loan or instalment plan, so it does not involve a credit check and there's no repayment history for it to report to credit reference agencies. This differs from instalment or deferred-payment BNPL plans, where missed payments can be reported and can affect your credit standing. If you switch to a credit-based plan for a flight instead of Paynow, read the terms for that specific plan carefully before booking.

What happens to my payment if my flight is cancelled or refunded?

Because Paynow settles the fare in full at the time of booking, a refund is returned to the original bank account used for the transfer once the airline or Laters.com processes it. There's no outstanding instalment balance to adjust, since no credit was extended in the first place. Refund timing depends on the airline's fare rules and Laters.com's cancellation policy rather than on the payment method itself. Check your booking confirmation for the specific refund conditions attached to your fare.

Can I use Paynow for international or multi-stop flight bookings?

Yes. Paynow applies to the fare total you owe at checkout rather than to the route itself, so it works the same way whether you're booking a single domestic hop or a multi-stop international itinerary. What determines whether Paynow appears as an option is the country you're booking from, Singapore in this case, not where you're flying to or how many stops the trip has. If you're booking from outside Singapore, a different set of payment methods will show up instead.

Do I need an existing bank or e-wallet account to use Paynow?

Yes. Paynow works by scanning an SGQR or PayNow QR code from within your own bank or e-wallet app, so you need an existing account registered with a participating Singapore bank or e-wallet to use it at Laters.com checkout. There's no separate Paynow account to sign up for beyond that, since it's a payment scheme operated by the Association of Banks in Singapore rather than a standalone provider. If you don't have a linked account, you'll need to choose a different payment method at checkout.

How do I track a Paynow payment I've made for a flight?

Your bank or e-wallet app is where the transfer itself is tracked, since Paynow settles through your own account on FAST rails rather than through a separate repayment portal. On the Laters.com side, your booking confirmation and receipt show that the fare was paid in full via Paynow, with no ongoing instalments to manage because none exist for this method. If a payment doesn't appear to have gone through, check your banking app's transaction history first before contacting support.

Do airline sale fares and promotional prices still apply if I pay with Paynow?

Yes. Paynow is simply how you settle the fare at checkout, so any sale price or promotional fare shown by the airline on Laters.com applies the same way whether you pay by Paynow, card or another method. There's no surcharge added for choosing Paynow and no discount removed either, since it doesn't function as a discount mechanism, only as an instant bank transfer. The price you see before selecting your payment method is the price you pay.

Is it safe to pay for flights with Paynow, and where are my bank details held?

Paynow transfers move directly between your bank account and the recipient over FAST rails operated by the Association of Banks in Singapore, so your account is authenticated within your own banking or e-wallet app rather than shared with Laters.com. Laters.com does not store your bank credentials for a Paynow transaction, since the QR-code scan and authorisation happen entirely on your bank's platform. As with any payment method, only complete the transfer from your official banking app and confirm the payment amount and recipient shown before authorising it.

How do I check that Laters.com is licensed in Singapore before paying by PayNow?

Search for Fly Fairly Pte. Ltd., the company behind Laters.com, on the Singapore Tourism Board's public register at trust.stb.gov.sg. It holds travel agent licence TA04059, with its address at 105 Cecil Street, Singapore. The same check works for any travel seller you plan to pay by PayNow: licences are held by companies, and a website's name can differ from its company's, so search for the company named in the seller's terms.

Can I buy a plane ticket now and pay later?

Yes, on Laters.com. Select Paynow at checkout to pay the fare in full right away by instant Singapore bank transfer, or choose Zilch at the same checkout to split the fare into instalments instead. Either way the booking and e-ticket come from Laters.com, not from the airline directly.

Can I book a flight then pay later?

On Laters.com, yes, if you choose a provider that defers payment. Paynow itself settles in full the moment you scan the QR code, so it is not a "pay later" option; for an actual delayed or split payment, choose Zilch at the same checkout.

How to use fly now pay later?

On Laters.com: search your flight, choose your fare, then pick a pay-later provider such as Zilch at checkout to split the cost into instalments. Paynow, also on this page, is the opposite of fly-now-pay-later; it settles the full fare immediately via a Singapore bank transfer.

Is there any book now pay later flights?

Yes; Laters.com lists several pay-later providers at checkout, including Zilch, alongside instant-settlement options like Paynow for Singapore-based travellers who would rather pay in full right away.

Is it possible to buy now pay later on flights?

Yes. Laters.com's checkout includes pay-later providers such as Zilch for flight bookings, as well as Paynow for travellers who want to pay the full fare immediately by Singapore bank transfer instead.

Does Singapore have buy now pay later?

Yes. Singapore-based travellers booking on Laters.com can choose Paynow, an instant SGD bank transfer with no credit involved, or a pay-later provider such as Zilch for an instalment plan, both at the same checkout.

What travel sites let you pay later?

Laters.com is built around this: every airline it sells can be paid for with a pay-later provider such as Zilch at checkout, alongside instant-settlement options like Paynow for Singapore-based travellers.

Which airline can I book now and pay later?

Any airline sold on Laters.com. Paynow and the other payment providers at our checkout are not tied to a specific airline; you pick your flight first, then choose how to pay, whichever carrier operates it.

Which airlines offer "buy now, pay later" flights?

Very few airlines build a pay-later option into their own checkout. Scoot is a known exception; it has offered Paynow directly since a 2019 tie-up with its payment partner UOB, but most major carriers, including Singapore Airlines, AirAsia, Jetstar Asia, Emirates, Qantas and Cathay Pacific, do not. Laters.com covers every airline it sells with the same checkout options regardless.

Can I buy now pay later for flights with Singapore Airlines?

Not directly through Singapore Airlines' own site. Book through Laters.com instead and you can pay for a Singapore Airlines fare with Paynow (pay in full immediately) or a pay-later provider such as Zilch (instalments), the same as for any other airline we sell.

What airline allows monthly payments?

No airline runs its own monthly-payment plan through Paynow; Paynow itself is a single, instant, pay-in-full bank transfer with no instalments of any length. For a split-payment plan on Laters.com, choose a pay-later provider such as Zilch at checkout instead; check that provider's own plan page for its exact schedule.

Is PayNow only for Singapore?

Yes. PayNow is Singapore's own instant bank-transfer scheme, settling only in Singapore dollars from a Singapore bank or e-wallet account, so it is only available to Laters.com customers booking from Singapore.

Can foreigners use PayNow?

Yes, as long as you hold a Singapore bank or e-wallet account that supports PayNow; nationality is not the requirement, having an SG-linked account is. Without a Singapore bank account, choose a different payment method at Laters.com checkout.

About Paynow and Laters.com

Who is Paynow?

Who is Paynow?

Paynow is not a lender at all. It is Singapore's national instant payment scheme, a bank-to-bank transfer system that moves money the moment a shopper scans a QR code, and it sits inside this page because Laters.com lists it alongside credit-based ways to pay, not because it extends credit itself.

Paynow launched on 10 July 2017 as a joint bank-industry initiative, built by the banking industry rather than a single founder chasing a fintech idea. It runs on FAST, the settlement rails operated by the Association of Banks in Singapore, with the country's major retail banks and the Monetary Authority of Singapore behind its design and oversight; from 2025 that governance (along with FAST, GIRO and the other national schemes) is consolidating under a new not-for-profit body, the Singapore Payments Network. There is no separate company to take public or take private here, no rebrand history to trace, because Paynow is infrastructure, jointly run and bank-backed, rather than a standalone fintech that has weathered funding rounds or market exits. That also means the usual growth-and-setback story doesn't apply: its track record is the quiet, unglamorous one of a payment rail that keeps clearing transfers. Check Paynow's own site, or your bank's app, for exactly how a transaction is processed and any limits your bank applies. Even where no interest or repayment is involved, only spend what your account can cover, since a payment made in full still leaves your bank balance lighter straight away.

Booking with Paynow on Laters.com

Booking is much the same as any card payment, just routed differently. Search your route on Laters.com, choose Paynow at checkout, and you'll be shown a QR code to scan in your banking or e-wallet app; once your bank confirms the transfer, the fare is paid in full and your e-ticket is issued. There's no instalment plan and no credit check with Paynow, because it moves money directly from your bank account rather than lending it to you, so there's no deferred balance and nothing to repay later.

Laters.com is the merchant for this booking and issues the ticket; Paynow is simply the rail your payment travels on, run by Singapore's banks rather than by Laters.com or by an airline. There's no payment surcharge and no booking fee for paying this way, so the fare is the same as paying by card. You don't need a credit card to book when paying with Paynow, since it draws straight from your linked bank account, and because funds settle immediately, there's no separate repayment schedule to track afterwards, unlike with a credit-based plan.

Laters.com earns from the fare as the merchant, the same whichever payment method you choose; no payment provider pays for placement on this page.

How pay-later flight bookings work

A flight booking and a repayment plan run on different schedules. Our guide explains the practical questions to consider before splitting a fare.

  • What changes when you pay for a flight in instalments
  • How to compare the total cost and repayment dates
  • Why a flight change or refund does not automatically end the payment plan
  • How a worked example divides a fare into payments
Paynow is a credit product

Borrowing responsibly means only committing to instalments you can afford. Missed payments can result in late fees, may be reported to credit reference agencies, and may affect your credit standing and your ability to borrow in future. Visit Paynow’s own terms for current terms, eligibility criteria and country-specific plan availability. Laters.com is the new name for Fly Fairly; nothing about your booking or support changes.
