香港邁向零散銀時代

非金融機構為支付市場帶來新景象。TNG錢包破天荒免商戶安裝費及免每月最低消費等,直言小販都裝得,而香港電訊(06823)旗下「拍住賞」土豪式燒錢吸客,揚言消費、開戶回贈無上限,母公司全力支持。

兩家公司分別由商戶及用戶着手,「拍住賞」(Tap&Go)向每位新客派50元,計及其後消費回贈,即為了吸客用其手機錢包,每位客戶預算最多派300元(優惠至今年二月十五日),非常大手筆。香港電訊旗下HKT Payment產品開發、業務發展及卡務營運高級副總裁管紀東稱,公司做推廣的預算沒上限,推廣不會停。

「拍住賞」無懼Apple Pay

「拍住賞」是一張SIM卡或實體卡,可做網上支付或於實體店以近場通訊(NFC)功能拍MasterCard拍卡收款機付錢。今年Apple Pay將進軍香港市場,他指,Apple Pay也是用NFC,故店舖裝NFC收款機的誘因也多了,有利「拍住賞」發展,相信支付市場會很熱鬧。公司另外亦正研究商業大廈門卡服務,提升競爭力。

支付公司TNG亦於一五年十一月推出手機錢包,初期出銀彈戰術新客充100元送100元,錢包推出五星期用戶逾25萬人,交易額達8,000萬元。

TNG冀今年用戶100萬

TNG行政總裁江慶恩坦言,回贈結束後新客增長速度回落,但目標今年用戶量達100萬人,增加以TNG手機錢包收款的店舖。他又透露,商戶安裝TNG手機錢包收款,免安裝費、免租機費,不設每月最低消費,直言小販都裝得,收費率方面信用卡及八達通是TNG的好幾倍,故TNG對小商戶來說非常吸引,他指主打中小商戶電子支付發展空間非常大。另公司將推繳費通平台,包含幾百個商戶,現亦正邀水電煤公司加入平台。
