In order to reduce the spread of the virus during the epidemic, the government had launched a non-contact payment subsidy scheme for public markets through the "Anti-epidemic Fund", but market vendors responded coldly.

The chairman of the Hong Kong, Kowloon and New Territories Traders Association, Chen Kam Wing, said on a radio program today (4th) that the government will launch a $5,000 electronic consumer vouchers, which is an incentive to promote electronic payment in markets. He hopes that the authorities can launch another plan to subsidize market and street vendors. Install an electronic payment system.

Chen Jinrong said that the last time the plan was cold, about 30% of the vendors applied, and about 15% of the vendors finally installed it. He believes that the main reason for the plan is that the licensee should apply. However, the licensee is generally older and does not know how to use electronic systems, even banks. Teller machines are not used very much, and it is recommended that the government relax it, "you can apply if you have a license." He also pointed out that not only market vendors, but also street vendors need to be subsidized.

Chen Jinrong also pointed out that the current electronic payment company's machines for market vendors are difficult to use, and the words and buttons are too small. He hopes that the authorities will guide the payment platform to provide more convenient machines.

He revealed that he had met with the department a few days ago and described the response of the other party as initially positive.
