“Data from our fresh research showed that cash is still king, at least for now, in Apac with 70 percent of the respondents still using physical notes for their day-to-day transactions," Chris Connell, managing director for Asia Pacific at Kaspersky, said.

One of its key findings showed that a great majority of the Asian respondents has used mobile payment apps at least once in the past 12 months, confirming the FinTech boom in the region.


Nearly two in 10 of which only started using these platforms after the pandemic.
