Octopus lets Hong Kong commuters can add transit card to iPhone and Apple Watch

Octopus transit card holders can now use their iPhone or Apple Watch to pay their fares and make purchases at 35,000 retail outlets across Hong Kong that accept Octopus for payments. There’s no need to authenticate with Face ID or Touch ID, no extra taps and no extra steps. Transaction and balance details are instantly displayed on the iPhone or Apple Watch. The service is available to owners of iPhone 8 or later devices running iOS 13.5, and to Apple Watch Series 3 or later wearables running watchOS 6.2.5.
