TNG硬件要求低 力拚八達通

於八達通仍在考慮會否推行實體商戶的手機線上支付之際,去年10月才推出,自稱為「功能最強」的本地薑電子錢包TnG早已憑着這項功能成功搶攤。憑着「全城最低」交易手續費已登陸約500間零售店,進行QR CODE的支付方式。創辦人江慶恩指出,「目前有8成商戶並沒有安裝八達通、VISA及MASTER等支付系統,這絕對是一個『藍海』,公司目標就是搶佔這個龐大的市場。」

 

掃碼支付 免裝機費免維護

 

TnG功能包括轉賬、付款、購買門票及網上購物等,早前大灑「銀彈」透過與阿信屋合作,推出「增值$100送$100」優惠極速吸客,目前累積活躍用戶達30萬人。TnG來勢洶洶,早前更宣佈與兩大車行「新興車行」及「順安車行」合作,勢要打入八達通多年來未能攻破的的士市場。

 

TnG為的士司機免費安裝系統,亦提供「每支旗補貼一蚊」優惠,目前已有800個的士司機安裝服務,未來亦不打算收取手續費。TnG表示,這個收費系統只是一個應用程式(App),有手機就用得,完全無需要資料更新及維修相關費用,相比八達通的高昂的裝機費,硬件維修費等對司機而言有更大吸引力。八達通早年攻入的士行業時,初期同樣推出免收費用、補貼優惠等,但收費後令很多的士司機都選擇棄用。

 

究竟的士司機今次會否被TnG「收伏」,改變多年來維持現金交收的營運模式尚有待分曉。不過TnG攻入公共交通工具的野心似乎非常強大,江慶恩指出,未來TnG更會攻入小巴及巴士行列,現正與運輸署洽談。

 

江慶恩接受本報訪問時透露,目前TnG每日的平均交易次數為3萬次,每宗交易平均單價為66元,平均每日交易金額約184.8萬元,當中2成為P2P(個人轉賬)交易,8成為零售點,目前的零售點為500間,約7%為交水電雜費。

 

每筆交易收1% 「全城最平」

 

零售點會收取每筆交易逾1%的交易費,多番強調是「全城最平」,經粗略計算後,每日TnG賺到由零售商支付的交易費手續費約1.48萬元。隨着未來零售點增加,TnG的收入亦可望大幅增加。

 

對於TnG異軍突起,八達通行政總裁張耀堂表示,其他公司與八達通有不同的營運目標,故難以評論八達通是否較其落後與否,未來八達通只會跟隨自己的步伐發展。

 

江慶恩同時是手機應用程式開發商SINO Dynamic大股東,他稱營運TnG的資金主要來自於SINO Dynamic的分紅。TnG由江慶恩及拍檔投資近1億元創辦。
