The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) launched the Faster Payment System (FPS) on 17 September 2018. It enables the public to make instant cross-bank/e-wallet funds transfers anytime, anywhere with the use of mobile number or email address of the payee. The launch of the FPS has promoted innovation in financial technology, and provided greater convenience and new experience of electronic payment to the public.
“FPS ‧ Payments Made Easy” - WhatsApp Stickers Design Competition (the “Competition”) is jointly organised by the HKMA and the Hong Kong Association of Banks. It aims to arouse secondary school students’ awareness of financial infrastructure, fintech and electronic payments in Hong Kong, and encourage them to express their innovative, creative and interesting ideas through the popular WhatsApp Stickers nowadays. The Competition is divided into Junior Category (Form 1 to Form 3 students) and Senior Category (Form 4 to Form 6 students). Participants are required to design a set of 6 Stickers in relation to FPS payment scenarios.
Webinars were organised in late October 2020 for students to gain more understanding on how the FPS can help make and receive payments, and pay bills easier, simpler and faster, and explain the rules of the Competition.
The application to our "FPS ‧ Payments Made Easy” WhatsApp Stickers Design Competition was closed on 8 January 2021. For details about the Competition, please click here.
