WorldPay launches interactive alternative
payments heatmap showing market preferences by geography

Most companies usually publish research
papers, but WorldPay has gone a step further and has released an
interactive heatmap that details payment preferences in specific
markets.

The heatmap comes in association with a
whitepaper and can be found here.

According to WorldPay, the alternative
payments market – such as real-time bank transfers, offline credit
transfers, direct debits, e-wallets and mobile payments – account
for €165bn of worldwide e-commerce transactions. That is
representative of 22% of the total transaction value.

Key findings of the paper, titled Optimising
your Alternative Payments: a Global View, include:

  • e-wallets account for 36% of the e-commerce transaction market
    and are expected to grow even more, to 43% by 2015,
  • Real-time bank transfers account for just 12% of all such
    transactions, but it is expected to grow to 20% by 2015,
  • Card payments still dominate the e-commerce markets in the UK
    (11%) and US (17%),
  • In Germany, 66% of e-commerce transactions are based on
    alternative payment method,
  • In China, Alipay has a 60% market share in e-commerce
    transaction, while cash-on-delivery remains a popular payment
    method with 20% of the market.
