Mastercard managing director for Hong Kong and Macau Helena Chen said: “By bringing together EduTech and FinTech, Mastercard aspires to alleviate the pressure of handling large amounts of cash and checks for schools and parents, not only by providing them with fast, safe and convenient cashless payments experiences but also by helping them devote more time and energy into students’ growth and development.”

GRWTH co-founder and CEO Adam Chan said: “GRWTH links up students, school administrators and parents and provide them with powerful and innovative tools for better home-school communication and organisation.

“By connecting the education, finance and technology sectors, we aspire to push forward the development of digital payments in Hong Kong.”
