As Paidy’s instant post-pay credit service expands to accommodate bigger merchants, offline payment transactions and new value-added financial services, allaying current and new consumers’ security concerns remain of paramount importance.
With both eyes focused on the future, consumer payment growth trends for in-store, e-commerce and in-app transactions are set to become more inter-mixed and exponential growth of transactions are set to rise accordingly to a wide range of expert sources. Paidy expects their customer base to exceed 11,000,000 accounts by 2020 thus selecting the best-in-class security partner makes perfect sense to facilitate smoother digital consumer shopping experience.

Selecting a secure and highly functional mobile application security product as we have found in V-Key, gives our team the confidence that we are future-proofing our mobile strategy and ensuring consumer data integrity.”
