<b>Geo Pulse #13 — Country deep-dive: the SE Asia "big three" diverge</b>
Theme: Vietnam, Indonesia and Thailand get lumped as "SEA" but reward different playbooks.
— → <b>Indonesia</b>: largest population, super-app dominated (GoPay, OVO, DANA), Islamic-finance considerations for some offers. Source: Bank Indonesia.
— → <b>Vietnam</b>: fast-growing, MoMo wallet leads, strong COD for physical, very price-sensitive. Credit: State Bank of Vietnam + MoMo data.
— → <b>Thailand</b>: PromptPay instant transfer is near-universal; QR-code payment is the default behavior. Source: Bank of Thailand.
— → <b>Language wall</b>: Thai and Vietnamese scripts require true localization — no shared lingua franca like in some regions. Credit: localization vendors.
— → <b>Shared trait</b>: mobile-first, social-commerce heavy (Facebook/TikTok shops), data-cost sensitive. Lightweight wins everywhere.
Bottom line: three scripts, three wallet ecosystems, one mobile-first instinct. Localize per country, optimize for mobile across all.
