Regional Insights
Asia-Pacific dominated the mobile payment market owing to rise in smartphone penetration, e-commerce expansion, and increased internet connectivity. In addition, supportive regulatory frameworks, with governments promoting digital financial inclusion and cashless transactions, have accelerated adoption. China leads the market in this region, driven by robust digital infrastructure, including widespread use of QR codes, integration into super apps, and a tech-savvy population. The region's large unbanked population and increasing use of mobile wallets for everyday transactions further contribute to its market dominance and growth potential, positioning Asia-Pacific as a key hub in the global mobile payment market. For instance, in June 2025, China and Hong Kong launched a new real-time cross-border payment system called Payment Connect, linking China's IBPS with Hong Kong's FPS. This allows instant money transfers between individuals and institutions in both regions. Initial participants included major banks from both sides, and thousands of transactions were completed on the first day. The system aims to boost financial efficiency, reduce costs, and strengthen Hong Kong's role as a financial hub.
LAMEA is expected to grow at a significant rate during the forecast period, due to increase in smartphone usage and rise in internet penetration in the region, which is driving the adoption of mobile payment and digital wallet solutions to meet the changing consumer preferences.

Latin America leads the market in this region by implementing fintech innovations, promoting digital literacy, financial technology adoption, and partnerships between banks and fintech firms to enhance payment convenience and financial inclusion.

This collaboration enables international online merchants to offer tailored financing to Mexican consumers via EBANX's platform.
