These solutions drive digital loyalty engagement and mobile payment transformation.

Go Wallet and HKT POS under HKT have been recognised at the Hong Kong Business Technology Excellence Awards 2025, winning in the Blockchain - Marketing Technology and Fintech - Telecommunications categories respectively. These accolades underscore their roles in empowering businesses transformation and enhancing consumer experiences through cutting-edge technologies.

Go Wallet: Redefining loyalty in the digital era

Go Wallet is a blockchain-based marketing and loyalty platform designed to empower retailers, especially SMEs, in Hong Kong’s fast-evolving digital landscape. It enables consumers to securely receive, store, and redeem programmable e-vouchers, which merchants can customise to suit specific business strategies and launch highly targeted, flexible campaigns for both existing and new brand followers.

Go Wallet is built on the open platform premise and its offers are not restricted to a single payment method or consumer app partner. Instead, they are compatible with a wide range of marketing channels that reach a broad and active consumer base. Users can access Go Wallet via various digital wallets including Tap & Go and Metamask, as well as the growing set of mobile apps like The Club. This seamless integration instantly connects merchants to a diverse audience in Hong Kong. Consumers can share merchant offers with one another from different wallets or app ecosystems, further amplifying reach and engagement. Within just three months of launch, Go Wallet has seen over ten thousands of consumer sign-ups.

Multiple brands from the food and beverage, fashion, entertainment, and wellness sectors have already adopted Go Wallet, drawn by its versatility and ease of use. For some SMEs, it serves as their primary engine for launching marketing offers, whilst larger brands are leveraging the platform to build follower communities that can be converted into their existing loyalty programmes. As digital engagement continues to evolve, Go Wallet is proving to be a valuable tool for brands seeking to foster connections with consumers.

HKT POS: Transforming the payment experience

The HKT Software Point-of-Sale (POS) solution brings the concept of "Payment Power in Your Pocket" to life, offering an all-in-one mobile payment acceptance experience tailored for SMEs, micro-businesses and mobile vendors. It transforms any Near Field Communication (NFC)-enabled Android smartphone or tablet into a secure, contactless payment terminal, eliminating the need for traditional hardware and offering high portability.

Supporting a wide range of payment methods, including Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay, Tap & Go, Faster Payment System (FPS), Octopus, Alipay and more, HKT POS enables merchants to accept payments anytime, anywhere across Hong Kong, from pop-up stores and direct sales to doorstep delivery services.

The solution lowers financial and logistical barriers to digital payment adoption, empowering smaller businesses to participate in Hong Kong’s digital economy, and enabling queue-busting and mobile checkout scenarios. With just a mobile phone and internet connection, merchants can quickly get started with its simple onboarding and remote activation features. The platform also enables integrated sales analytics, inventory management and customer relationship management, enhancing data-driven decision-making and adaptability to market trends and consumer demands. In parallel, some enterprises are looking to integrate HKT POS with HKT’s broader suite of technology solutions and cloud solutions to transform their store operations, pop-up store events and payment on delivery business model.

Since launch, HKT POS has onboarded hundreds of SME merchants and is actively engaging with larger merchants and event organisers to deploy impactful use cases that reshape the payment journey. The solution is facilitating merchants in embracing digital solutions and thus contributing to Hong Kong’s transformation into a smart city.
