In just 12 months, PayMe has nearly doubled its merchant network, incorporating a wider range of business categories beyond local retail and F&B outlets, including airlines, property clubhouses, co-living apartments, pharmacies, and department stores. Launched in 2019, PayMe for Business has provided a secure and instant payment solution for merchants of all sizes, connecting them with over 3.2 million personal users in Hong Kong.
BRAD JONES, Head of PAYME by HSBC, stated, “To establish ourselves as a mobile wallet for all, it is essential to build a substantial and diverse merchant network for everyday shopping. Today, we celebrate an important milestone with our merchants and payment service partners, who are helping to foster a truly home-grown payment ecosystem for Hongkongers.”
To commemorate this achievement, PayMe will launch a flash voucher campaign1 to express gratitude to users and merchants for their ongoing support. From now until 10 November, eligible PayMe users can grab a HKD10 multi-merchant voucher in the “Voucher” section. The voucher will be applied automatically when users spend HKD 500 at any business that accepts PayMe.
PayMe by HSBC today celebrated with its merchant partners the key milestone of expanding its network in Hong Kong to over 100,000 outlets.
