移動支付捍衛戰

 

  本地薑爭做香港支付寶

 

  政府近年大力推舉金融科技(FinTech),所謂「瘦田無人耕,耕開有人爭」,香港電訊推出的「拍住賞」和TNG電子錢包早於去年率先成為本地移動支付業務的開荒牛,透過與商戶合作提供優惠維護地位,隨後過江龍內地移動支付一哥「微支付」襲港,ApplePay亦宣布今年內攻港,本港移動支付市場一時之間風起雲湧。

  大家以為首個打入本港移動支付市場的將是銀行,但移動支付戰打頭陣的竟然是香港電訊。去年7月底推出「拍住賞」,香港電訊成為全港首間搶攻移動支付的公司。香港電訊過去雖沒有金融支付的經驗,但巧妙地找來信用卡老大萬事達卡結盟,加強自己在移動支付的實力。

 

  開荒牛:香港電訊孖萬事達卡打頭陣

 

  「拍住賞」為小額支付儲值卡,並將金額儲存於csl.或1010的SIM卡內,用戶只要更換全新SIM卡,就可帶NFC手機於全球300萬個提供萬事達卡感應式支付之商戶付款,亦可用於網上購物。至於持iOS裝置的客戶或者非csl.或1010用戶,都可以登記拍住賞卡以內置NFC功能使用拍住賞。論普及性,透過與萬事達卡合作,「拍住賞」的應用能更廣泛,暫成為移動支付的一哥。

 

  「創業難,守業更難」,要守衛自己的優勢,「拍住賞」也要「派糖」吸引用戶使用。新註冊的用戶在今日至6月5日,在萬寧消費淨額滿100元或以上,就可享有最多2次25元回贈的優惠。另外,又找到淘寶網合作,消費有1.5%服務費回贈、在csl.或1010的專門店購買享有85%的優惠等,捍衛在移動支付的江湖地位。

 

  香港特色的手機錢包:TNG優惠奇招搶灘

 

  移動支付戰次名搶閘的就是本地電子錢包開發商,以首個「香港人電子錢包」亮相戰場的TNG Wallet電子錢包應用程式。用戶毋須任何銀行戶口登記,即可開啟使用,用戶只要掃一掃貨品收費的QR Code,就可馬上從TNG電子錢包內扣錢付款。

 

  移動支付攻防戰中,相對其他大企業有龐大資金和金融機構撐腰,TNG無懼威脅,選擇孤軍作戰,爭取以更多優惠突圍而出。759會員可以憑TNG結帳就可獲5%現金回贈。另外,TNG亦走平民路線,與德發小廚和新金源茶餐廳合作,食飯消費用TNG付款享10%現金回贈。另外,用戶在麵包店Crostini獲5%現金回贈。

 

  TNG的必殺技在於早前與的士車行合作,令用戶可以用移動支付為車費埋單。對於的士司機加盟接納TNG手機錢包,首次登記就最多可獲贈100元手機錢包的儲值額,而且免卻交易手續費。而且司機每程可獲1元額外的獎賞,每日最多可獲15元紅利。

  支付寶手續麻煩背後的機遇

 

  本地薑致力推動移動支付的科技發展,甚至要打造香港版的支付寶,其實亦非癡人說夢話,但前提是要懂得與阿里巴巴的淘寶合作,才可換來更多知名度和商機。

  上周五起,淘寶的港版支付寶要與內地的銀行帳戶作連結認證,才可繼續在淘寶用支付寶埋單,否則支付寶的帳戶將會「清零」。港人要繼續使用淘寶「濕平」,就要先去內地開設銀行帳戶,並將支付寶帳戶連在一起,又或者放棄使用支付寶,轉用淘寶的其他支付方法結帳,例如八達通、信用卡等。

 

  正值支付寶退場,多個移動支付工具亦應該趁機與阿里巴巴的淘寶合作,成為其網購付款工具之一,才有機會令廣大市民認識手機錢包。
