PayPal has officially launched its Complete Payments platform in Singapore, offering businesses a comprehensive, full-stack payment solution designed to streamline global transactions and enhance cross-border commerce.
A Unified Solution for Global Transactions
The Complete Payments platform enables Singaporean businesses to accept payments from over 200 markets through a single, customizable integration. This unified approach simplifies the complexities of international commerce, allowing merchants to manage multi-currency transactions efficiently.
“PayPal Complete Payments will give businesses here access to an extensive suite of new tools which will help them sell more effectively to global customers, in just one integration,” said Nadia Syed, Senior Vice President, International Cross Border Trade and General Manager Asia Pacific at PayPal. “It will also help businesses optimize their cash flow by enabling rapid settlement for transactions in minutes instead of days while also allowing them to hold multi-currency balances, reducing foreign exchange exposure.
Diverse Payment Options to Enhance Customer Experience
The platform supports a wide array of payment methods, catering to both global and local preferences. Merchants can accept payments via PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Visa, Mastercard, American Express, as well as regional alternatives like Alipay, iDEAL, and BLIK. This flexibility is crucial, as studies indicate that 70% of consumers consider the availability of their preferred payment method a key factor in their purchasing decisions.
