DUBAI, United Arab Emiates, Aug. 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- tpay, the leading payment connector in the META region, has published a new white paper exploring the rapidly evolving payments landscape, highlighting the forces reshaping how we pay and why it matters more than ever.
In a world where digital consumption is booming and 33% of the global population shops online, the race is on to deliver fast, seamless, and inclusive payment options.
With global e-commerce spending surpassing $6.8 trillion in 2024 and projected to reach $10.8 trillion by 2030, businesses can't afford to overlook alternative payment methods. Embracing a mobile-first, cashless, and borderless approach is now the new standard for businesses.

- The explosive growth of e-commerce and mobile-first spending in the Middle East, Turkey, and Africa
- The shift from cards to Direct Carrier Billing and Direct Wallet Billing as go-to payment methods
- A closer look at real-time payments, open banking, digital wallets, BNPL, and more
