DBS PayLah! hit by service disruption, bank says affected transactions will be refunded

DBS Bank announced on July 23 that its PayLah! service experienced a disruption, affecting some users' ability to make payments. The bank informed customers they could continue using alternative methods such as Scan & Pay, transfers through the digibank app, or physical card payments. In an update later that night, DBS assured users that affected transactions would be refunded to their PayLah! wallets. The incident led to 17 reported outages according to Downdetector, though numbers fluctuated. CNA has sought further details from DBS regarding the cause and extent of the disruption. This follows a previous major outage on March 19, which impacted online banking access, prompting regulatory scrutiny and calls for improved internal processes.
