Across the globe, 61% have changed their behavior or reduced use of digital payment platforms due to cyber scam concerns. 75% say transaction insurance would boost their trust, increasing adoption.

NEW YORK, Sept. 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Chubb, a world leader in insurance, today released the results of its new global survey, “The Impact of Cyber Scams on Trust in Digital Payments,” revealing the growing impact of cyber fraud on consumers, the misconceptions regarding cyber protections, and the significant changes in consumer purchasing behavior driven by escalating worries over cyber breaches.

Digital payments have become part of our daily lives and are increasingly crucial to fostering financially inclusive economies. Chubb’s survey findings define the pivotal role insurance plays in building trust and helping to enable the growth of the digital payments ecosystem.

According to the survey conducted in the U.S., Mexico, Brazil, Indonesia, Singapore, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam – nearly half (46%) of respondents mistakenly believe their payments are protected. This false sense of security is compounded by the fact that 61% of participants have changed their behavior or reduced their use of payment platforms due to fears about cyber scams.

Waning trust threatens exponential growth

All survey respondents have made a digital payment in the last year, and 63% have been a cyber scam victim or know someone who has been. The impact of this fraud extends beyond financial losses, eroding trust in payment platforms, hindering adoption.

“The future of digital payments is bright, and insurance will help play a crucial role in shaping its trajectory,” said Sean Ringsted, Chubb’s Chief Digital Business Officer. “At Chubb, we are committed to developing innovative insurance solutions that address the changing risks faced by individuals and businesses in the digital era. By fostering a mindset focused on awareness, vigilance and protection, we can ensure that the benefits of digital payments are accessible to all while mitigating the associated risks.”

Respondents were asked about nine different types of scams. They are most troubled by phishing/vishing and impersonation scams, as well as fake product or service purchases. Some 61% of respondents have changed their behavior or reduced use of certain digital payment platforms over concerns.

Key findings from Chubb’s Global Payments and Cyber Scams survey include:

Certain demographic and geographic survey audience segments report higher rates of being a victim of cyber scams

Women in Asia (33%).Younger people in the US (33%) and Asia (34%).At the market level, women in Thailand (39%), Philippines (38%), Indonesia (36%), and Brazil (32%).

Threats of being hacked looms large

53% voiced worry about their account being hacked.48% were troubled about a potential data breach.46% cited the possibility of being scammed as a barrier to trust.37% indicated unease at their ability to recover their money, if scammed.

Trust levels vary amongst the respondent audience

69% of women (vs. 65% of total respondents) completely trust digital payment technologies.68% of younger users (18-34 years old) do not completely trust these technologies.96% of those who make international transfers and 94% who make transfers weekly either somewhat, or completely trust digital technologies (vs. 91% globally) even though they are more susceptible to cyber scams.

Payment providers have an opportunity to close a trust gap

32% of respondents don’t trust the security of digital payment technologies.36% don’t trust their customer support.29% don’t trust platforms to protect their confidentiality.

Insurance could promote greater trust and adoption of digital payments

75% of respondents say transaction insurance would boost their trust.Impact of insurance is highest among consumers in Latin America – 84% would fully trust or trust payment technology much more if they had personal cyber-scam insurance, and 82% for payment protection insurance.Many respondents also see AI as a way to enhance security.

Methodology

Findings are based on a survey of 2,600 individuals in the U.S., Mexico, Brazil, Thailand, Singapore, Vietnam, Indonesia and the Philippines that explored the impact of cyberscams on levels of trust in digital payment technology. The survey was conducted by Opinium on behalf of Chubb in June 2024. The respondents were adults who had made digital money transfers through traditional banking apps / Fin Techs / Neo banks, or digital wire transfers in the last 12 months. The margin of error for the survey was +/- 2%.

BANGKOK, Sept. 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — As the global digital entertainment industry continues to flourish in 2024, the Thailand Game Show, Southeast Asia’s largest gaming event, remains a focal point for gaming enthusiasts. Since its inception in 2006, this annual event has successfully run for 17 years, drawing in over 200,000 attendees and featuring more than 100 exhibitors from the anime, gaming, and other sectors, which has become a marquee event in the Thai gaming calendar. This year, the Thailand Game Show will take place from October 18 to 20, 2024, at the Exhibition Halls 3-4, Queen Sirikit National Convention Center, in Bangkok.

As a global leader in pan-entertainment and e-sports live streaming, NIMO is invited as an official strategic partner for the 2024 Thailand Game Show. NIMO, in collaboration with the event organizers, is set to deliver an unforgettable experience—NIMO WAVE LIVE SHOW, a large-scale music festival that will mark the platform’s first foray into a live entertainment event of this magnitude, with an audience of over 1,000. This move will further strengthen NIMO’s capacity to explore the commercialization of pan-entertainment content.

NIMO Deepening Ties with Thailand Game Show and Showcasing a Multi-Layered Commercial Landscape

At this year’s event, NIMO will create a unique and interactive experience at Booth S4, dubbed the “NIMO GAME SOLUTION SPACE.” This space will feature a variety of themed areas, including the “NIMO STORE” stocked with trendy merchandise, interactive challenge zones, and social media check-in area. By completing fun challenges, fans will have the chance to win exciting prizes, such as NIMO squishy toys, emoji stickers, woven bags, and exclusive NIMO WAVE LIVE SHOW merchandise.

Earlier this year in April, NIMO hosted the GLOBAL GALA in Thailand, followed by high-profile appearances at ChinaJoy in China and Gamescom in Germany. Through a refreshed brand slogan, expanded trendy branding elements, and strengthened partnerships with game titles to seek more opportunities for cooperation, NIMO has demonstrated its commitment to continuously enhancing brand influence on a global scale. Returning to Thailand as a strategic partner of the Thailand Game Show, NIMO will work closely with the organizers to co-host its first-ever large-scale live music festival, fully showcasing its “gaming + music” marketing capabilities and bringing game brands and the entertainment-savvy youth audience together.

NIMO Expanding into Global Music to Increasingly Enrich Pan-entertainment Ecosystem

Beyond the three-day exhibition, NIMO will host the NIMO WAVE LIVE SHOW on October 19, 2024, at 8:30 PM, on the main stage of Exhibition Halls 3-4. The event will feature a stellar lineup of top Thai artists, including MILLI, IRONBOY, and the popular band PAPER PLANES, as well as Sisweet; in addition, Vietnam’s OEG Talent House will bring top artists, band lead vocalist Phạm Anh Khoa, guitarist Dzung, music producer and famous DJ Teddy Doox and DJ Brian to perform iconic gaming soundtracks, setting the stage alight and igniting the passion of gaming fans.

During the event, NIMO will also introduce its Musician Commercialization Support Project, aimed at providing global musicians with relevant resources to thrive in content creation, copyright management, brand collaboration, and monetization. The NIMO WAVE music category will serve as a key pillar in NIMO’s pan-entertainment ecosystem, and as the platform actively explores cross-industry collaborations and expands partnerships with global entertainment companies, tech platforms and cultural events, this will further cement NIMO’s presence in the global music industry.

This year’s Thailand Game Show is once again expected to draw massive attention from gaming enthusiasts, and NIMO’s strong presence will surely spark further excitement for the event. Tickets for both the Thailand Game Show and the NIMO WAVE LIVE SHOW on October 19 are available now. Fans can purchase tickets via the Zipevent platform.
