Consumption voucher disbursed

October 1, 2022

The Government today gave out the second voucher under the 2022 (Phase II) Consumption Voucher Scheme to about 6.36 million eligible people.

 

They will successively receive SMS notifications or mobile app push notifications, the Government said.

 

The vouchers are disbursed via six stored value facility operators ie AlipayHK, BoC Pay, Octopus, PayMe from HSBC, Tap & Go and WeChat Pay HK. People who are entitled to a total of $5,000 voucher received their first $2,000 in August.

 

If they use Octopus to collect the voucher, the second voucher of $2,000 will be disbursed today.

 

By the end of November, if their cumulative total eligible spending has reached $4,000, the remaining $1,000 voucher will be disbursed on December 16 the earliest. Otherwise, their eligible spending has to reach $4,000 no later than March 31 next year in order to obtain the last $1,000 voucher by tapping the card on April 16.

 

Meanwhile for people who collect the voucher through the other five e‑wallets, their $2,000 voucher received in early August and the $3,000 voucher received today will both expire on February 28 next year. They may use the vouchers according to their consumption pattern before the expiry date.
