Visa announced a partnership with S.F. Express (Hong Kong) Limited (SFHK) to bring contactless card payment services to everyday sending and receiving services. The Visa Tap to Pay Hong Kong service with S.F. Express builds on Visa acceptance, which is currently available at SF stores and extends contactless payments to more touchpoints.

Customers can now use their preferred Visa cards when receiving and sending parcels at their doorstep. S.F. Express couriers are equipped with smart handheld devices that process payments directly upon delivery or pickup, covering a full range of payment scenarios including freight charges and Cash-on-Delivery (COD).

Paulina Leong, the General Manager of Visa Hong Kong and Macau, commented,

“SFHK plays a vital role in the final mile of commerce, connecting sellers and buyers through its extensive delivery network. By bringing together Visa’s trusted global payment capabilities and SFHK’s delivery infrastructure, we are embedding secure and convenient digital payments into key logistics touchpoints.“

S.F. Express operates a network with service coverage across Hong Kong supported by 140+ S.F. stores. S.F. Express’s platform connects customers with delivery services across both physical and digital environments.

Steve Shum, Head of Hong Kong and Macau Regions at S.F. Express, added that offering more payment choices like Visa Tap to Pay Hong Kong is an essential part of its commitment to enhance the logistics and delivery experience.
