Rationale

Octopus 八達通 offers mobile payment services, including topping up Octopus cards and making online payments. It explicitly mentions P2P payments ("P2P Payment" in the privacy policy), a prepaid Mastercard and UnionPay QR for online and global payments, and customizable card designs. It also mentions "Instant Discounts & Offers" through its Easy Earn Scheme. While it has a strong focus on payments and a card, it does not appear to offer direct deposit, stock trading, or bitcoin trading, which are must-have features for the Cash App concept.
