It’s safe to say that most of us understand mobile payments. When once we had to exchange cash or fumble with credit cards, now we’re able to pay using the device already in our hands – our mobile phones.
Being at the forefront of fintech, Singapore is the place to be to pay with your devices. According to the Mobile Payments Readiness Index by MasterCard, Singapore is the most mobile payment-ready nation in the world, taking the lead against the United States of America (third) and China (tenth).
