ASEAN Gateway To Cross Border Payments
ASEAN’s digital payments sector is experiencing rapid growth, fueled by increasing smartphone use, fintech innovation, and a booming e-commerce landscape. Key markets like Indonesia, Vietnam, and the Philippines are leading the way, with major opportunities in digitizing MSMEs and expanding rural financial access. Consumers are shifting toward mobile-first behavior, embracing e-wallets, mobile banking, and digital banks that offer greater convenience and accessibility. ASEAN central banks are strengthening cooperation to enhance payment linkages through QR code integration and shared standards.
