Australia’s Payment Solution Leader eWAY Penetrates Asian Markets

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 28 (Bernama) -- Australia’s eCommerce payments leader, eWAY has entered Singapore, Hong Kong and Macau -- the Asia’s fastest growing online shopping markets. Designed specifically for technology-enabled business and online retailers, eWAY powers 1 in 4 eRetail payments for Australian and New Zealand merchants. eWAY, in a statement, said the payment solution allows businesses to start accepting payments while providing all customers with on-demand, expert advice. Singapore is the third largest eCommerce market in Southeast Asia turning over nearly US$4 billion (RM16.56 billion) a year. A technology savvy population leads the region for using payment cards over cash and increasing numbers adopting mCommerce -- shopping on mobiles. (US$1 = RM4.14) The US$4.4 billion (RM18.22 billion) Hong Kong market is set to develop a strong eCommerce culture as more residents become connected via mobile devices, according to the statement. Online shopping culture is not as evolved as Singapore but is growing quickly as more retailers develop more engaging, personalised experiences for shoppers. eWAY Business Leader, Tony McGrath said: “We think there is a real gap in the market for a solution that has been specifically developed to allow merchants to get set-up and start making sales sooner.” He said: “Singapore and Hong Kong, like our home markets, have sophisticated retail markets with savvy shoppers and we anticipate a rapid adoption of our facilities, as merchants and consumers move to the convenience of shopping online as a supplement to traditional bricks and mortar shopping. “There are no setup fees, monthly fees, surprise charges, or card storage fees with eWAY. We want to help businesses succeed with a powerful but cost-effective way to accept payments,” McGrath added. eWAY is a leading online payment provider that offers merchants a safe, reliable and frictionless solution which is a cornerstone to their growth and success. It processes billions of transactions for thousands of merchants each year. More details on https://eway.io/sg/ -- BERNAMA
