The region's online payments and e-commerce markets had seen significant progress in the last couple of years, fuelled largely by an active consumer ecosystem and various government efforts. Various companies now offer their own e-wallets and mobile payments, such as Singtel's Dash, DBS's PayLah and Alibaba's AliPay.
Despite this, PayPal sees its focus on security and expansive reach as competitive advantages. It also ensures user experience is seamless.
