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.

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up 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. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
