Octopus Holdings Limited – Who We Are

Established in 2005, Octopus Holdings Limited is owned by the major transport operators in Hong Kong and is also the holding company of Octopus Cards Limited, operator of one of the world's leading contactless smart card payment systems.

The holding company was incorporated after a restructuring that was aimed at spinning off Octopus' non-payment businesses into new, separate subsidiaries. The new units would also be independent of the Octopus payment business that is regulated by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority. This creates a better environment for future business development and operational efficiency.
