The cards will be available at the Octopus Card Image Store from 30 June 2025 to 29 June 2026, priced at HK$15 each (no deposit or stored value included). All proceeds will be donated to Ocean Park to support its conservation and education efforts.

This strategic partnership demonstrates how Octopus is leveraging our platform to transform daily transactions into meaningful impact for panda protection and environmental education in Hong Kong, a great example of technology serving a bigger purpose."
