Paytech company Wonder has become the omnichannel payment facilitator for Octopus Cards in Hong Kong.

The move aims to enhance both offline and online payment capabilities for merchants using Wonder's payment infrastructure.

The collaboration enables merchants to add Octopus to their payment options alongside more than thirty other methods through Wonder's know your customer (KYC) process.

Settlements to merchants will be conducted directly via Wonder's platform, aiming to simplify financial operations for businesses across different sectors.

Wonder founder and CEO Jason Ngan said: “Becoming Octopus’ first payment facilitator in Hong Kong marks a major milestone for Wonder and reflects our shared commitment to driving payment innovation and digital transformation across the city.

“Since our strategic partnership began in early 2025, we have seen strong adoption momentum, and we look forward to working closely with Octopus to further expand acceptance and bring smarter, faster, and more effortless payment experiences to businesses and consumers in Hong Kong.”

Octopus CEO Tim Ying said: “Our collaboration with Wonder will enhance our customers' payment experience across Octopus’ extensive network of over 190,000 physical acceptance points and our growing online presence. Working closely with all ecosystem partners, our goal is to ensure every interaction between buyers and sellers is seamless, convenient, and secure.”

Octopus Cards, which operates under the Stored Value Facilities Licence, has been providing payment solutions since its inception in 1997.

The Octopus system is a contactless smartcard payment method in Hong Kong.

Wonder, a fintech and payments platform catering to the Hong Kong and Asia Pacific markets, facilitates digital financial transactions for merchants as a digital omni-channel payments system.

It enables them to complete digital KYC onboarding, account opening, payment processing, and transaction management from a single integrated platform.
