Scope

• The proliferation of digital-only banks is likely to create competition in Hong Kong’s banking sector. Standard Chartered partnered with telecommunication companies PCCW and HKT as well as tourism platform Trip.com to launch digital-only bank Mox Bank in September 2020. The bank provides a free Mox account with a numberless debit card for no annual fee. Previously, digital-only bank ZA Bank was launched in Hong Kong in March 2020. The bank offers a savings account along with a Visa debit card
• The government and regulatory authorities have taken steps to boost the use of cashless payment methods. In September 2018, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) launched Common QR Code standards to promote the use of a standard QR code for retail payments, thereby eliminating the need for merchants to display multiple QR codes at the POS. The Hong Kong QR mobile app can be used by consumers to make payments at all retailers accepting the Common QR Code. As of January 2022, 13 payment services providers are participants of the Common QR Code standards
• The outbreak of COVID-19 has resulted in a significant shift in consumer preferences towards the use of cashless methods of payment. According to a Visa survey conducted in December 2021, payment card usage increased significantly in 2021: 93% of survey respondents used cards for payments owing to the security and convenience they offer. According to the same survey, 38% of respondents expect to increase their use of cashless payment methods over the next 12 months. In 2021, 66% preferred to go cashless on smaller transactions of up to HKD100 ($12.90) – up from 56% in 2019
