最新报道:Square has launched its mobile payment service "Square Handy" in Japan, targeting the growing cashless payment market in Asia. The new service allows small businesses to accept credit card payments via smartphones without additional hardware, aiming to simplify transactions for merchants. This expansion aligns with Japan's push toward digital payments, which currently account for only 36% of consumer transactions. Square plans to leverage its global fintech expertise to compete with local players like PayPay and Line Pay. The move comes as Asia's cashless payment sector is projected to surge by 250% by 2027, driven by smartphone adoption and government incentives for digital finance.
