Young consumers in some areas of Eastern Europe and Asia have few qualms about leapfrogging traditional banking methods and moving directly to digital wallets offering lower fees and targeted value propositions.

While digital payment growth is ubiquitous globally, newly banked consumers are still adopting card payments, and cash is entrenched in developing markets even as a payment method for online goods. While some e-commerce companies tap into the potential for cash spending, progress is also being made with alternative payment methods to wean more traditional markets away from cash.
