Countries research overview of payment methods and latest developments
Local payment methods such as bank transfers, e-wallets, cash-based payments, and domestic cards are the dominant payment methods globally, used in more than 70% of all consumer transactions. It is, therefore, essential to know which the preferred and local payment methods in a country you plan to expand to are, in order to create smooth customer experience, increase conversion, and drive loyalty.
To keep our readers informed in this area, we have dived deep into specific markets worldwide, from the Americas and Europe to Asia-Pacific and Africa, to reveal the popular payment methods and the latest developments from each country. Our readers will have the opportunity to learn, for instance, about the latest payment regulation from Sweden that encourages consumers to rely less on credit card and spend more via debit options. As well, our readership might be interested in what triggers the rise of in-app payments in India, thus an emerging mobile-first society being formed.
