Bank Transfer (Internet & Mobile Banking)

Implementation and rails differ by country, but the consumer flow is a standard account-to-account bank transfer.

Prepaid Cards
Prepaid cards account for a notable portion of the payment market — up to 63% by some measures of total transactions — used particularly for controlling spend and for consumers without standard bank accounts.
Apple Pay / Google Pay
The major international device-based wallets — Apple Pay, Google Pay and Samsung Pay — have been widely adopted in Kuwait alongside local prepaid cards. These wallets tokenise underlying debit and credit card credentials and are accepted at NFC-enabled point-of-sale terminals and participating online merchants. Their adoption reflects Kuwait's high smartphone penetration and consumer preference for contactless payments.
Cash on Delivery (COD)
The single most-used payment method, with approximately 45-47% of e-commerce orders still settling in cash at delivery. Consumer distrust of online payments remains the primary driver. Most major Serbian logistics providers (Post of Serbia, DExpress, etc.) offer COD collection.
