八達通將發新卡讓持卡人在內地乘搭公共交通 料最快年底落實
《南華早報》報道,八達通行政總裁李俊明表示,公司已申請加入中國交通聯合(T-Union),為國家交通運輸部牽頭的一卡通支付系統。公司將可發行新的八達通卡,讓持有人在內地300多個城市使用八達通卡支付巴士,鐵路及渡輪等公共交通費用。他指新八達通卡以港元結算,公司將與內地安排匯率結算,預計有關安排於今年底至明年初落實。
該新八達通卡將不儲存個人資料,儲值上限定為3,500元,以配合香港本地及內地電子支付金額水平。
李俊明亦披露,公司亦與多個亞洲國家及地區的非接觸式支付平台商討合作,目標為推出相互連接技術,尤許香港八達通持卡人在澳門、南韓、新加坡及泰國以八達通卡向商戶作小額支付。公司希望有關安排令香港人在疫後外遊時更方便,亦方便有關國家及地區的訪港遊客。他指新冠疫情影響相關談判及測試進度,但希望新服務可在未來兩年推出。
