Electronic wallets, or eWallets have seen particularly strong adoption in emerging markets, where they often serve as a gateway to financial services for the unbanked population. In China, platforms like Alipay and WeChat Pay have become ubiquitous, handling trillions of dollars in transactions annually. AliPay and WeChat Pay are believed to remain dominant Chinese payment methods, as they are forecast to reach a combined user base of nearly 2.5 billion users.

To help banks and merchants better understand their end users, providers like Paysecure offer their proprietary User Trust Score system that dives deep into chargeback scores, reference checks, payment history, device fingerprint assessments, card characteristics, and more, and routes transactions based on trust levels.
