Key Highlights
Hong Kong has made significant progress in incorporating contactless payments into its public transport system, responding to growing consumer demand for convenience and leveraging technological advancements. In keeping with this trend, in January 2024, Octopus announced that it will enable 21,000 Hong Kong taxi drivers to accept QR code-based payments via UnionPay and AlipayHK by utilizing its Octopus App for Business and Octopus Mobile POS platforms, thereby boosting payment acceptance options for taxi drivers. Octopus App for Business allows merchants to receive NFC-based contactless payments via an Octopus card or Octopus Wallet. Meanwhile, Octopus Mobile POS is designed for taxi drivers to receive payments via QR code.
Several countries across the Asia-Pacific region are linking their cross-border payment systems via the use of QR codes. In December 2023, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) and the Bank of Thailand introduced Faster Payment System (FPS) x PromptPay Link for cross-border QR payments between Hong Kong and Thailand. Via this link, travelers from Thailand and Hong Kong can make retail payments using their mobile payment apps to scan Hong Kong FPS QR codes and Thai PromptPay QR codes displayed by merchants. Both consumers and merchants stand to benefit from this development. Travelers from Thailand and Hong Kong will have additional payment methods available to use, while merchants will receive the funds instantaneously.
Alternative payment solutions are becoming popular among consumers in Hong Kong. To capitalize, payment services providers are launching solutions with new features to boost uptake. For example, in January 2023, Samsung introduced Samsung Wallet, which combines the existing features of Samsung Pay with additional functionality. In addition to mobile payments, users can also store and access digital keys, boarding passes, and essential documents such as ID cards and driving licenses within the wallet.
