Build trust and confidence in the payment market
Payments
The world today is at a crossroads of technology, industry and business reconfiguration. As a result, substantial value is in motion for the payments sector - both growth opportunities and uncertainties. Companies must therefore rapidly innovate their business and operating models while competing in novel ways.
By integrating deep industry technical expertise, we aim to empower industry players and innovators to navigate value shifts in a rapidly evolving market with confidence and foster greater trust with both customers and stakeholders.
Our vision
At PwC Singapore, our vision for the future of the payments industry is to empower players and innovators to thrive in a secure, compliant, and innovation-friendly ecosystem. We are committed to helping businesses benefit from a well-regulated environment that encourages breakthrough innovation and supports sustainable growth.
We believe the future of payments lies in building a safe and trusted environment—one that enables more transactions to flow through non-bank platforms, supports the shift to digital payments, and ensures consumer safety and confidence at every step. By combining deep regulatory expertise with technology-driven solutions, PwC Singapore is helping shape a payments landscape that is inclusive, resilient, and ready for the future.
