Rising economies at the forefront of the payment and digital commerce revolution

From the top‑ten countries with the highest volumes of instant payments volume, at least half of them are considered growing economies. Latin America is the fastest‑growing real‑time payment market in the world, followed by Africa and South Asia. These rising markets are a greenfield for digital payment initiatives that contribute to the increasing adoption of buy‑now‑pay‑later solutions (BNPL), micropayments, and mega payments.
