Singapore Wirecard merchants scramble to jump ship
Businesses say payments still continuing, but decide to play safe

Wirecard's market share here is likely sizeable, though the exact breakdown is not available. Its portfolio was bought from Citigroup a few years ago, with Citi then a major player alongside the three local banks in processing payments for merchants.
