SINGAPORE - More people are turning to digital payments amid Covid-19, with the volume of PayNow transactions set to far surpass that of last year.
It has already hit $64 billion in value from January to October, well up on the $25 billion recorded in the same period last year, the Association of Banks in Singapore (ABS) told The Straits Times. The amounts cover both retail and corporate users.
