Korea's Q2 e-payments highest since 2008

Average daily transactions jumped 17.4% to US$104.87m.

South Korea is seeing its highest e-payments records since 2008, the Bank of Korea (BOK) revealed. According to their data, the figures could be due to the growing number of people using mobile shopping and remittance services.

The BOK revealed that the daily average amount of electronic financial transactions jumped 17.4% QoQ to $117.4b in Q2. Meanwhile, the average daily number of electronic deals surged 26% to 3.63 million.

For daily transactions in digital wallet services, the average amount grew 7.1% QoQ to 8.03 million transactions worth $360m.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
