Step 5: Enter your payment details

  1. Amount – Enter the total amount you wish to pay.
  2. Card details – You can use Visa, Mastercard, or UnionPay (American Express is not allowed on this payment type)
  3. Payment plan – Choose Standard or Next Business Day.
    • For Standard, your card is charged 3 business days before the payment arrival date.
    • For Next Business Day, your card is charged 1 business day before the payment arrival date with additional processing cost of 0.3%
  4. Payment frequency – Select a one-time or recurring schedule (weekly, monthly, quarterly, or half‑yearly). Yearly frequency is not available for this payment type.
  5. Payment arrival date – Select the date you want the receipient to receive the funds.
  6. Payment reference – This will appear on the recipient’s bank statement to help them identify your payment (e.g., your name, invoice number, etc.).
  7. Promo/referral code – If you have one, enter it here.
  8. Review the fee summary and ensure everything looks correct. Note: If you apply any promotional codes, the discounted fee will be displayed on the "Review" page before you confirm your payment setup.

 

Step 6: Document

  1. You must upload the official invoice. Make sure it clearly shows:
    • Payor’s name
    • Recipient name
    • Recipient bank account details (must be under a corporate or business bank account and not to a personal or individual)
    • Payment amount
  2. Tip: Ensure all information on your invoice matches the details you entered in CardUp to avoid delays.

  3. Note: For any downpayment requests, your credit card must be pre-funded—meaning the amount you wish to pay must be transferred from your savings account to your credit card in advance. You cannot use your available credit limit for this purpose. For example, if you intend to make a downpayment of S$10,000, you’ll need to transfer that amount to your credit card before submitting your payment request. Additionally, you’ll be required to upload a supporting document (e.g., a bank statement or screenshot) confirming that the top-up has been completed and matches the amount you wish to pay.

 

Step 7: Review

  1. Double-check all details on the Review page.
  2. Click Create Payment. You’ll receive a one-time password (OTP) for verification (a small card verification charge of S$0.50 may appear and will be auto‑refunded in a few days).
  3. Your main payment will be charged on the Payment charged date, which depends on the payment plan you selected (Standard or Next Business Day).

Note: If you’re setting up your payment on the same business day that you create your CardUp account or complete account verification, you may experience an additional 1 business day delay.

 

 

 

 

Step 8: Payments Dashboard

You will be able to find all your scheduled payments reflected on CardUp homepage> specifically under the "Upcoming" tab.

 

Quick Tips

  • Recurring payments: If you pay regularly (e.g., monthly rental installments), set your payment to repeat automatically (weekly, monthly, quarterly, or half-yearly).
  • Verification & schedule: Always check your Payment charged date vs. Payment arrival date to ensure the funds arrive on time.
  • Document guidelines: Always ensure the document you upload is recent, clearly legible, and matches all details you provided.
