The pandemic and consequent lockdowns and quarantines have established online payment services as the way to go forward. You are able to avail of anything you want without risking your health and without touching cash that may have been tainted by the virus.

Online payment services have revolutionized the business world. It is no longer limited to the big brands but accessible to even a cart on the street. Technological advancements have ensured the availability of smartphones that takes secure and safe payments to a whole new level with biometric security. Customers are likely to opt for online purchases when security is assured, and transactions are easy and quick. Mobile app payments through smartphones using different platforms are the way forward for all merchants.


Finicky Customers


Online customers are rather particular and are likely to abandon a purchase if they do not get the payment option of their choice. This is why merchants should have available different online payment services that are most popular in their particular region. Payment service providers who wish to make a presence in China, for example, should provide them with payment platforms that are prevalent in their region to really succeed. The Chinese are traditionally great fans of cash-on-delivery purchases but have transitioned in a huge way to mobile transactions.


Win Customer Confidence


Earlier, credit cards were unheard of in China, and online banking was not so popular. Payment service providers had to win the confidence of both merchants and customers before they could establish themselves. They followed the escrow services method wherein the payment was held by the company until the customer received the goods and was assured of its authenticity. Support from the Chinese government has gone a long way in ensuring the success of the transition to online payment services.


Convenience of E-Banking


E-banking is popular because of its convenience. You can handle every transaction from the comfort of your home. You can monitor your accounts or track your payments or receipts easily through the website or your mobile app. Checking your balance has become easy with e-banking, and it ensures that you do not overstep your mark. The growth of e-bank payments in SEA is a result of the financial revolution that has taken place there.
