Scope
- To help SMEs and startups expand their businesses, in April 2019 the HKMA and banking participants introduced a new tier of bank accounts called Simple Bank Accounts exclusively for corporate customers. Unlike traditional accounts, which offer a full list of services, Simple Bank Accounts offer only basic banking services such as deposits, withdrawals, and local and cross-border fund transfers. In addition, the opening of these accounts involves comparatively less due diligence and supporting documents from applicants. This provides more alternatives in terms of bank account opening to businesses that do not require the full range of banking services generally offered by traditional bank accounts, or else cannot readily provide certain documents required for traditional bank accounts.
- To capitalize on the growing adoption of contactless payments, in May 2020 Hong Kong-based public transportation provider Long Win Bus Company enabled consumers to use contactless Mastercard, Visa, and China UnionPay credit cards to pay for bus fares. Besides contactless payments cards, customers can also use digital wallets such as Alipay and UnionPay to scan the QR code present on bus e-payment terminals to make payments.
- In July 2020, Hong Kong-based virtual bank WeLab Bank collaborated with Mastercard to launch a new line of debit cards that do not have card numbers, expiry dates, or CVVs displayed on them in order to prevent theft of card information and ensure increased security of card payments. The card only has the card holder's name and a multi-function chip embedded on its surface. The card can be obtained after opening an account with the virtual bank. A virtual debit card is available within the bank's app, with a physical card delivered later.
