FROM lightning-fast changes to fringe benefits to encourage stickiness from customers, the push towards a digital payment society is progressing swiftly.
For new tech companies like Primer, spotting an opportunity to rein in more than 100 payment services for easier transactions provides an immediate advantage to businesses.
For eWallet businesses such as Moolahgo, there are many competitors, so standing out is the key. How do you stand out and satisfy different markets and customers with access to a range of platforms?
Online shopping has created a greater sense of immediacy, with the unforgiving 18- to 35-year-old consumer expecting immediate gratification for swift payment, while businesses want to see their money well spent when it comes to investing in their payment architecture.
In this evolving digital environment, quick, but smart, decisions are key. Like a surfer navigating a wave, the moves have to be assured — some obvious, others risky — if you want to continue to crest the wave.
