The Singapore government may be eager to drive e-payment adoption in the country, but it appears to want to do so through encouraging market competition, instead of introducing legislation to bring down surcharges for e-payments.

Deputy Prime Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam, who also was Minister-in-Charge of the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), said the government was assessing the impact of laws regulating e-payment fees in other countries.
