Inflight Donation
Providing inflight donation services
As part of Octopus Cards Limited (OCL)’s goal of making everyday life easier, we have sought innovative partnerships that make giving to charity more convenient, including inflight e-donations to help children in need.
On 1 October 2016, OCL joined the Change for Good inflight fundraising programme, co-organised by Cathay Pacific Airways and the Hong Kong Committee for UNICEF (UNICEF HK), to allow passengers to make cashless donations using their Octopus to improve the lives of underprivileged children worldwide. In addition to coins, banknotes and credit card donations, the programme accepts Sold and Anonymous On-Loan Octopus products not linked to the Automatic Add Value Service, transferring the remaining value and deposit (if any) of donated Octopus cards and products to UNICEF HK. This helps organisation in providing life-saving support to vulnerable children in more than 150 developing countries.
