» Just over one year into the Covid-19 pandemic, it has been impossible to ignore the stratospheric growth of digital payment methods across the world. In APAC specifically, we've seen Facebook and PayPal join Google, Tencent, and other leading technology firms in backing Gojek, a popular Southeast Asian super app. Not missing a beat, Gojek's competitor Grab has been keeping busy by purchasing stakes in popular e-wallets such as Indonesia's LinkAja.
