EXPANSION: Octopus is extending use of its physical transit card to 300 cities in mainland China
Octopus users in Hong Kong will soon be able to pay for public transport fares in more than 300 cities in mainland China with a new physical transit card to be launched “by the end of this year or early next year”, according to a South China Morning Post (SCMP) report.
The move is part of an “offshore expansion plan” that will also see Octopus collaborating with “contactless payment platforms in several other Asian countries as it aims to launch an interconnected technology that will allow its e-digital wallet users in Hong Kong to pay for small transactions and services in Macau, South Korea, Singapore and Thailand,” SCMP stays.
