Understanding Payment Choices in The Instant Economy

Online payments are evolving more rapidly than ever. Our report reveals not only the most popular online payment methods but also how digital wallets and Pay by Bank (which includes instant account-to-account payments) are becoming the preferred choice for a younger, digital-savvy generation. With payment insights into the adoption rates in different countries and analysis of the driving forces behind these preferences, we uncover a future where traditional methods like credit cards may no longer hold the reins.
