Users of e-commerce platform Shopee starting Thursday can top up their ShopeePay mobile wallets straight from their debit and ATM cards.
Online shopping and payments saw a boom during a pandemic that forced people to stay at home and limited physical contact. In 2020 alone, Shopee recorded four times more orders completed through its mobile wallets. To meet the growing demand for contactless payments, the platform was equipped with more top-up methods to simplify transactions for shoppers.
