PayPal launches Complete Payments solution for Singapore businesses

PayPal launches Complete Payments in Singapore to simplify global transactions, boost conversions, and improve fraud protection for businesses.

PayPal has officially launched its full-stack payments platform, PayPal Complete Payments, in Singapore. Designed for both small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) and large enterprises, the solution provides a single, customisable integration for accepting payments from customers in over 200 markets. It aims to reduce complexity, streamline operations, manage risk, and support cross-border growth.

The rollout comes amid increasing global trade complexity, where Southeast Asian businesses are seeking to diversify supply chains and expand into new markets. PayPal’s latest offering positions itself as a strategic tool to help Singapore-based businesses grow by enabling access to a wide range of global payment options and settlement features.

“PayPal Complete Payments will give businesses here access to an extensive suite of new tools which will help them sell more effectively to global customers, in just one integration,” said Nadia Syed, Senior Vice President, International Cross Border Trade and General Manager Asia Pacific, PayPal. “It will also help businesses optimise their cash flow by enabling rapid settlement for transactions in minutes instead of days while also allowing them to hold multi-currency balances, reducing foreign exchange exposure.”

Enabling a seamless global payment experience

With PayPal Complete Payments, businesses can accept a variety of global and local payment methods. These include PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and local alternatives like Alipay, iDEAL, and BLIK. This flexibility helps drive higher checkout conversion, especially since 70 per cent of consumers consider the availability of their preferred payment method a key factor in their purchasing decision.

Businesses also benefit from improved transaction authorisation rates. Globally, card processing through the platform has led to an average increase of 4.7 percentage points in authorisation. The combined availability of PayPal Wallet and Apple Pay can further boost checkout conversion rates by up to 17 per cent.

Merchants can present prices in local currencies familiar to their customers and hold multi-currency balances to minimise foreign exchange exposure. Faster settlement – in minutes rather than days – offers an additional cash flow advantage, helping businesses run more efficiently.

One example is G2G (Gamer2Gamer), a digital goods and services platform with over 10 million users. Ken Chee, Group CEO and Co-Founder of G2G, said: “PayPal Complete Payments with its transparent fees, instant settlements, and multi-currency support, empowers G2G to deliver a seamless and secure payment experience. Its advanced fraud protection minimises risks in our cross-border transactions, enhancing operational confidence. This integration fuels G2G’s expansion, fostering trust and stronger connections with our global gaming community.”

Improved security and stored payment options

Security is a core feature of the platform. Singapore faces e-commerce fraud rates more than five times the global average, making protection critical for online businesses. PayPal Complete Payments offers built-in Fraud Protection and Seller Protection on eligible transactions. It also integrates with platforms such as Adobe Commerce, Big Commerce and WooCommerce, allowing merchants to quickly deploy its features.

The platform enables businesses to offer customers a convenient and secure way to store multiple payment methods, including PayPal accounts and credit cards, in the PayPal vault. This makes repeat purchases easier and helps businesses reduce transaction declines. Features like real-time account updates keep stored card details current, even if cards are lost, stolen, or expired.

PayPal’s continued investment in infrastructure and services such as Complete Payments reflects a growing demand for robust, flexible solutions that support global commerce while addressing security concerns and operational efficiency.
