Why do I need to link my bank account to PayNow using my NRIC number?

Updated by CPF
Unlike mobile numbers, the NRIC number is an unchanged reference number issued by the Government and is the only accepted reference number for government payments via PayNow. Linking your bank account to PayNow using your NRIC number ensures that government payments will be made correctly to you.
