Global Alternative Online Payment Methods: Full Year 2016 - Report Projects Alternative Online Payment Methods to Outrank Credit Cards M2 Communications
Dublin - Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Global Alternative Online Payment Methods: Full Year 2016" report to their offering.

Despite over half of worldwide online customers using credit cards to make purchases, more than 50% of E-Commerce sales are completed through alternative payment methods. Information cited in the report estimates that the combined share of different alternative payment methods in global E-Commerce sales will rise, leaving the share of bank cards at a decrease.

Alternative payment methods are particularly favored over bank cards in emerging markets such as China . Here, E-Wallets like Alipay made up for more than half of online sales. Research within the report also found that in Indonesia and Thailand , online consumers prefer bank transfers, but in Vietnam , this method comes second after cash on delivery. Cash on delivery is also the most favored method from E-Commerce consumers in many select developing markets due to the level of banking penetration being lower than in other advanced economies.

In advanced markets such as the USA , Canada , Japan , South Korea , the UK , and Sweden , credit card online payments remain in the lead. Notably, exceptions to this trend are in Germany and the Netherlands where alternative payment methods outrank bank card payments.
