JCB and Wonder Advance Cashless Taxi Payments in Hong Kong

JCB International Co., Ltd, the international operations subsidiary of JCB Co., Ltd, Japan’s only international payment brand, and Wonder Ventures Limited, a leading payments and fintech platform in the Asia Pacific, announced that JCB Cards are now accepted on Wonder Taxi in Hong Kong.

From April 1, 2026, all taxi drivers in Hong Kong are required by the Transport Department to provide at least two electronic payment methods, including one QR‑code e‑payment method and one non‑QR method, such as credit cards. With JCB now integrated into Wonder Taxi’s in‑vehicle solution, drivers using Wonder can meet the new requirement while offering passengers a secure, convenient way to pay.

“The government’s move to mandate e-payments is an important step forward for the taxi industry, and we see it as a real opportunity to raise the overall experience for passengers in Hong Kong,” said Mr. Jason Ngan, Founder and CEO of Wonder and Bindo Labs.

“With JCB now integrated into Wonder Taxi, drivers can rely on a single, seamless solution that supports both QR and card payments. More importantly, it gives passengers—whether local commuters, business travellers, or tourists—the flexibility to pay in whatever way feels most convenient to them. At the end of the day, our focus is simple: to build a payments infrastructure that works quietly in the background, removes everyday friction, and helps make getting around Hong Kong just a little bit easier for everyone.”

Mr. Yutaro Shimizu, Managing Director of JCB International (Asia) Ltd., added:

“Our valued partner Wonder is expanding acceptance to the West Kowloon Ferry and minibus as well. We will continue working closely with our partners to further expand acceptance so that JCB cardmembers can use their cards with confidence in Hong Kong.”

As the new taxi e-payment requirement takes effect, the collaboration between JCB and Wonder aims to support drivers in complying with the regulation and to offer residents and visitors a more modern, cash-light experience when travelling around the city. It also reflects Hong Kong’s ongoing commitment to enhancing service quality in public transport through the adoption of digital payments and smarter in-vehicle systems.
