Payments made via FAST or PayNow typically take up to 30 minutes to reflect in your FSM Global account. If your payment has not appeared after 30 minutes, it may be due to one of the following reasons:

- W.e.f 15 Oct 2025, as part of enhanced fraud surveillance measures, certain banks may hold or reject digital transfers (eg. FAST or PayNow) from retail accounts with balances over S$50,000, especially if more than 50% of the account balance was transferred within the past 24 hours. Please click here for more details.
