HKT (SEHK: 6823) - HONG KONG, 30 November 2023 - Under HKT Payment Limited, the Tap & Go1 mobile wallet is supporting the Hong Kong Monetary Authority's FPS x PromptPay QR Payment service as one of the first digital wallets to participate in the linkage between Hong Kong's FPS and Thailand's PromptPay, launching a series of offers. From 4 December 2023, Tap & Go users can enjoy the new overseas payment experience while local merchants can accept PromptPay payments2 from Thai tourists via FPS.

FX handling fees waived

PromptPay in Thailand is similar to FPS in Hong Kong - both are easy to use. Designated Tap & Go users3 can simply scan the FPS x PromptPay QR codes using their Tap & Go mobile wallets to make FPS payments at over 8 million merchants supporting PromptPay in Thailand, avoiding not only a trip to convert Hong Kong Dollars to Thai Baht but also the relevant handling fees. Tap & Go's pay- as-you-go design and App-to-Apptop-up features4 give users flexible control over their spending and the ability to conveniently top up their e-wallets.

Time-limited spending rebates

From 4 December 2023 to 31 January 2024 (both dates inclusive, "Promotion Period"), eligible users can earn up to HK$40 Stored Value Rebate5 by completing a total of six transactions with a cumulative spending of HK$300 or more (and a minimum of HK$50 spent in each transaction), enjoy HK$25 Stored Value Rebate for the first HK$50 spent by scanning the FPS x PromptPay QR code

using Tap & Go's "Scan to Pay" feature at merchants who accept PromptPay in Thailand. By enjoying offers while spending, users can make the most of their travels.
