Wallet Upgrades Under Discussion
-

The current e-CNY wallet framework in Hong Kong caps transactions at RMB 2,000 ($280) per payment and annual transfers at RMB 50,000 ($7,000). Wallet balances are limited to RMB 10,000 ($1,400).
Officials confirmed that discussions with the People’s Bank of China are underway to increase usage limits, add new features, and support additional application scenarios. Lawmakers are pressing for real-name authentication and higher personal transfer limits to better serve frequent users and cross-border travelers.
