New PayPal Data: Gaming and Fashion From Singapore Drive International Consumer Demand

Matthew Lucas, Vice President and Head of Cross Border Trade at PayPal

“A large focus for PayPal this year has been sharpening our offering to our most engaged consumers. This includes diversifying beyond PayPal Checkout to expand our Buy Now, Pay Later distribution with leading businesses, including those in Singapore, to consumers in markets where PayPal Pay Later is available. We are encouraged that international shoppers made over 135,000 transactions daily from Singapore businesses, demonstrating the connectivity that PayPal provides both Singapore businesses and global consumers through our platform.”

“PayPal's data also demonstrates that PayPal Pay Later is a top payment choice for international consumers when making gaming, hotel and digital goods purchases from Singapore businesses. As businesses power up for the year-end holiday season, those that understand where demand is strongest for their category and turn first-time buyers into repeat customers, will be best placed to navigate evolving market conditions and sustain growth.”

“As a global publisher, the majority of our transactions are cross-border and PayPal does a fantastic job supporting our international growth. We're seeing gaming audiences become increasingly diverse geographically, with particularly strong demand from players in the United States, Germany, Canada, United Kingdom, and Australia. This means thinking globally while staying responsive to how player preferences differ by market. By seamlessly handling the entire checkout process along with critical backend operations like risk control and fraud management, PayPal enables us to operate with total confidence across more than 140 markets. We continue to see strong stickiness and trust among our players who choose PayPal to check out.”
