An impressive 47% of its population is willing to embrace QR code payments, surpassing the global average of 27%.Additionally, over half of Singaporeans utilise contactless payment systems via mobile devices, a significant leap from the global average of 25%.As Singaporeans increasingly favour digital payment methods, businesses adapt to meet consumer demands.The survey reveals that over 20% of local merchants now offer electronic wallet payment options, reflecting a concerted effort to accommodate customers’ evolving preferences.The findings underscore the urgent need for robust security measures to mitigate the risks associated with the digital payment landscape.With the proliferation of mobile transactions, companies must prioritize investment in advanced fraud detection and prevention technologies to safeguard consumer data and financial assets.As Singapore continues to lead the global charge in smart payments, ensuring the integrity and security of its digital infrastructure remains paramount in fostering trust and confidence among consumers and businesses alike.","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0},"commentList":[{"id":294005830439056,"gmtCreate":1712810335858,"gmtModify":1712810339514,"author":{"id":"3579827147050987","authorId":"3579827147050987","name":"xupper22","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6b13c95cf147fc91a64e304d76553827","vip":1,"hat":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b0a2963eb37c60c5d6d4a8dbcd266952","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"idStr":"3579827147050987","authorIdStr":"3579827147050987"},"htmlText":"Still a very low %.
