The payment facility allows consumers to make in-store QR code payment, while in-app or online payments can be completed by inputting only their mobile number.

Consumers can make in-store purchases with the bank JETCO Pay app by scanning the merchant’s paper or electronic QR code. They can also use JETCO Pay merchant payment’s in-app feature to pay for parking through the “Park & Dine” app offered by Link Asset Management.

As the service is linked to the bank account, consumers do not have to top up. And merchants will reap the benefits of a no-cost, easy to set up payment service.

JETCO CEO Angus Choi said: “There is a large cash and cheque market in Hong Kong that is untapped. JETCO Pay Merchant Payment service aims to serve this market segment by providing a mobile payment solution that is low-cost and easy to set up. We are grateful for the support of the eight banks who will be gradually rolling out this service.
