Visa Launches Checkout Service in Hong Kong

Visa has launched its Checkout service in Hong Kong.

First launched in July 2014 in the US, Canada and Australia, Visa Checkout is a streamlined checkout experience which saves shoppers time. Users simply enter a username and password to pay, rather than a 16-digit credit card number and expiry date at every transaction.

“As more and more people across our region turn to their mobile devices to shop, the time has never been better to introduce a streamlined way to pay on similar devices with a brand that consumers already know and trust,” said Caroline Ada, Country Manager, Hong Kong and Macau, Visa. “With Visa Checkout, consumers not only can pay in just a few clicks, they can also enjoy a peace of mind of using one of the most secure online payment services in the world.”

Visa Checkout is now accepted at a wide variety of online merchants in Hong Kong, including Broadway Circuit, DimBuy, Hong Kong Airlines, PARKnSHOP and Zuji.

PARKnSHOP’s, Head of eCommerce, Rex Wong, said, “Visa Checkout expedites online payment, and PARKnSHOP has been offering online purchase services since 1998. We’re delighted to make Visa Checkout available to our valued customers who deserve a simple way to purchase groceries and daily necessities online. Hong Kong people are extremely busy, so by offering a quick and easy online payment solution, our customers can enjoy everyday shopping on our emarketplace.”
