AlipayHK to Launch M-payment at Hong Kong Train Stations

Hong Kong’s MTR Corp awarded a contract to AlipayHK, the local mobile payment unit of Ant Financial Services, to introduce QR code-based payment on the territory’s mass transit system starting in mid-2020.

Customers will be able to use their mobile phones at 91 ticket gates at MTR stations across the territory. Hong Kong’s subway carries about 5.8 million passengers a day.
