Each Octopus card contains a built-in microchip which stores its owner's payment information. There's no longer a need for coins. Users simply "beep" their Octopus card on a fare processing machine which automatically deducts the correct amount from the card. Octopus Technology A major breakthrough in smart card payment systems in Hong Kong, the Octopus is the brainchild of advanced digital technology. It has taken over five years from initial preparations, to complete this complex system. Since then, the Octopus system has gone through many stages of enhancements while integrating the central system with numerous service providers' management information systems. Manufactured by Sony, the Octopus Smart Card embraces the following features: Fast transactions - applicable in different services like public transport, convenience stores and vending machines etc. High stability - the remote contactless feature allows the Smart Card to operate with more stability. This feature is particularly advantageous to services with high transaction volumes. Flexibility in applications - the Card contains many features which takes care of everyday needs, ranging from travel on various public transport, door access to electronic cash. Recycle usage - the card is reloadable, so there is no need for disposal, and the PET material used to fabricate the card is also environmentally friendly.
