In the pursuit of customer retention, a golden rule is to prioritise your customers’ needs. Are you currently offering personalised payments for your customers to enhance their shopping experience?
For instance, Jenny, a young professional, seeks a fitness tracker. She finds one online but faces limited payment options at checkout—credit card or bank transfer only. Without a credit card and finding bank transfers cumbersome, she abandons her cart without hesitation.
What is the secret to maximising personalised payments? It is leveraging data to understand your customers’ preferences. By analysing demographics, location, and past purchase behaviour, your business can anticipate customer needs and tailor a personalised payment that resonates.
In Southeast Asia’s booming digital market, understanding customer preferences ensures inclusive and seamless payment – a critical factor for business success. It drives:
Moreover, understanding customers involves ensuring financial inclusion, which is crucial in regions like Southeast Asia with limited digital banking. Offering diverse payment options may help:
In Southeast Asia, the payment landscape is multifaceted. By 2025, the region is projected to reach 439.7 million active wallets, a 311% increase from 2020, positioning it as the fastest-growing mobile wallet region. E-wallets thrive in the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam, expected to surpass cards by 2026.
In Singapore, credit/debit cards dominated 38% of transactions in 2020, projected to continue until 2024, while cash usage declines to 26%. Digital wallets are on the rise to 20% by 2024. Malaysia sees a significant growth in digital wallet usage, indicating a regional shift towards digital payments.
Meanwhile, Cash on Delivery (COD) continues to hold its ground in certain countries, especially for social commerce transactions.
Understanding customer payment preferences helps unlock markets, builds relationships, and promotes financial inclusion in Southeast Asia.
While shopping in-store, your customers can enjoy seamless checkout experiences by using their preferred e-wallet or contactless card, avoiding form-filling and long waits.
For online shoppers, Pay by Link offers secure, personalised payments. This unique feature sends a secure payment link directly to customers’ mobile phones or emails, eliminating the need for manual entry. With one click, busy bees who prioritise convenience can swiftly complete purchases.
Security is paramount for payments. Personalised options like dynamic QR code payments offer enhanced protection to your customers. Each code is unique per transaction, thwarting fraud attempts.
Additionally, Qashier dynamic DuitNow QR utilises Malaysia’s trusted DuitNow system, ensuring a familiar and secure payment experience. With real-time transaction confirmation, your customers can shop confidently with peace of mind.
In the past, large purchases often strain customers’ budgets. The in-trend buy-now-pay-later (BNPL) personalised payments allow your customers to split their purchases into manageable instalments. Customers find high-cost items more affordable when they can pay for them over several months.

Numerous BNPL providers offer transparent payment schedules, aiding customers in budgeting and curbing impulse buys. With minimal upfront payments, your customers have more budget for other expenses, enabling wiser spending and smarter buying decisions.
Additionally, customers receive immediate notifications on their mobile phone or email after each transaction. This keeps your customers informed of their spending activity, fostering greater transparency and trust.
