Can I make a single manual PayNow payment to multiple StarHub billing accounts?

We only allow one PayNow transaction at a time to any StarHub Postpaid Account No.(example: 8.12345678S). This is to ensure accurate tracking and review of payment transactions.

What happens if I entered a wrong StarHub Billing Reference during my manual PayNow payment to StarHub?

StarHub reserves the discretion to accept or reject any incoming PayNow payment transaction with incorrect StarHub Postpaid Account No. and may return any unidentified bill payment made via PayNow to the same source of payment, through StarHub PayNow bank.


We seek your understanding to ensure that the correct StarHub Postpaid Account No. (example: 8.12345678S) has been reflected to the banking app should you choose to pay using PayNow via manual input of the StarHub PayNow Proxy.


Alternatively, we recommend you to pay StarHub bill by simply scanning or uploading the PayNow QR image from StarHub bill. This will securely and automatically retrieve your account details for a hassle and error-free transaction.
