Do not drop the accent; ‘pasame’ would be read as a different verb form.
Pásame los datos bancarios, porfa.
‘Porfa’ is too informal for emails or business contexts; use ‘por favor’ instead.

Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking countries, banking information is considered private. Even among friends, it’s polite to ask “por favor” rather than the very informal “porfa” if you’re not sure about the level of familiarity. Also, be aware that some regions prefer “cuenta bancaria” over “datos bancarios” when referring to the whole account.
