Sun Ho highlighted the potential of fintech in transforming Macau into a smarter city. He mentioned the Macao SAR Government's '1+4' strategy, which promotes modern finance as a key pillar for economic diversification. Macau Pass is aligning with this initiative by providing convenient life and inclusive financial services to consumers and businesses through digital products, technology, and data capabilities, while contributing to the digital economy and the infrastructure needed for a smart city.

Macau Pass is committed to creating an open, one-stop platform for digital living and financial services, leading Macau's mobile payment sector through technological innovation and integrating everyday consumption and service scenarios. MPay has become the preferential electronic payment platform for Macau residents and has expanded into a super app covering various scenarios such as retail, dining, culture, leisure, and tourism, offering users convenient local services. Furthermore, Macau Pass is leveraging its substantial user base to assist merchants in their digital transformation and growth. MPay is now accepted by over 98% of Macau's merchants, playing a significant role in their online operations. In collaboration with Alipay+ cross-border solutions, MPay has extended its payment services to 50 countries and regions, supporting over 10 overseas e-wallets for payments in Macau, enhancing the convenience for both residents and visitors.

Macau Pass has issued over 5 million mCards, continually enhancing users' smart travel and payment experiences with innovative features. The upcoming launch of the Macau Pass - China T-Union Card aims to simplify public transportation for Macau residents traveling between mainland China and the Macau SAR, making commutes more convenient.
