Contactless, mobile pay dethrone cash in Singapore

Five in 10 say cash is their least preferred payment method.

Cash is no longer king -- for Singaporeans, at least.

Data from Yahoo showed that most consumers in Singapore prefer using contactless credit, debit or prepaid cards (34%) when paying for their purchases.

Mobile e-wallets and digital payment services are close behind (31%).

Despite being the least preferred payment option of 54% of Singaporeans, cash is still used more (18%) than physical credit, debit or prepaid cards.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
