Digitisation is changing the way people pay. In ASEAN, the payments sector is an integral part of banks' services and an open playing field brimming with innovation and competition. The competitive landscape is driven by adoption of multiple mobile and lifestyle consumer-centric platforms offered by banks and fintech players. ASEAN being one of the fastest growing regions in the world, we would like to find out if the rise of e-payments has contributed to the region’s steady growth over the decade. This study aims to examine the relationship between retail payments and the aggregate macroeconomic activity in ASEAN nations. Using data from across 5 ASEAN markets over the period 2012 to 2021, the results suggested that the move from paper-based towards e-payments can stimulate the overall economy.
