Huawei Pay Octopus
Huawei Pay Octopus gives you the unparalleled convenience of using your Huawei mobile devices¹ for payment, anywhere Octopus is accepted. With the Huawei Pay Octopus, you can ride or shop by just tapping your Huawei mobile devices¹ on Octopus readers. There is no need to unlock your device or open an app when you pay for transit or shop, making everyday payments quicker and easier.
Just like a physical Octopus card, Huawei Pay Octopus can be used at over 170,000 Octopus acceptance points, covering an extensive range of public transport, retail outlets, parking, online shopping, vending machines, self-service kiosks and more. You can instantly top up Huawei Pay Octopus with your UnionPay credit card² or UnionPay App. You can also top up with cash, reload with Automatic Add Value Service (AAVS), from bank app³ or from your bank account with Faster Payment System (FPS) transfer set up in Octopus App.
Huawei Pay Octopus is available in Adult and Elder types, with a refundable deposit of $50. The stored value limit is $3,000.
If you are a holder of Personalised Octopus with student status, you can transfer your physical Octopus to Mobile Octopus in Huawei Pay. Click here to learn more.
