Hong Kong’s Financial Services and the Treasury Bureau issued an update marking Mainland digital payment solutions provider Lianlian DigiTech’s establishment of its overseas business headquarters in Hong Kong, positioning the move as a platform for the firm’s global expansion and for deepening fintech activity in the city. The opening ceremony was officiated by Deputy Financial Secretary Michael Wong and Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury Christopher Hui, alongside InvestHK and the Office for Attracting Strategic Enterprises. Wong cited around 1,200 fintech companies in Hong Kong, up 10 per cent from last year, and referenced the Hong Kong Monetary Authority’s Fintech 2030 strategy unveiled at Hong Kong FinTech Week 2025. InvestHK’s Alpha Lau pointed to the GoGlobal Task Force as a one-stop support platform for Mainland enterprises using Hong Kong as a springboard internationally. Lianlian said the Hong Kong base will act as a global strategic hub and innovation testing ground; the firm has a global network of 66 payment licences and related qualifications and holds a Securities and Futures Commission virtual asset trading platform licence, with services spanning more than 100 countries and regions, transactions in over 130 currencies, over 7.9 million cumulative customers, and RMB2.1 trillion in digital payment volume in the first half of 2025.
