金管局:新钞及迎新钞库存充足 吁派电子利是
金管局公布,鼓励市民尽量使用电子支付方法派利是,例如利用网上或手机银行经金管局的「转数快」或市面上其他电子钱包,取代派实体利是。
当局表示,在新春佳节,各主要银行和电子支付营运商将会配合提供各式各样的推广计划,令以电子支付方法收发利是既方便又有趣,且免却前往银行兑换新钞,安全又环保。
金管局及三间发钞银行曾小心考虑是否在疫情期间继续提供换钞服务,然而现金提存是银行必须为客户提供的服务,即使取消今年兑换新钞的安排,仍然会有市民到发钞银行提款或直接要求换取钞票作派利是之用。为顾及这群人士及一些没有电子支付渠道尤其是长者的需求,同时考虑到抗疫的重要性,银行会采取积极措施保护客户和员工。
当局表示,现时新钞的库存量达以往新年期间新钞发行量的两倍,迎新钞更达三倍,而换钞时间由往年约两星期延长至三星期,由下周二(26日)起至2月11日,吁市民毋需在开首数天赶往兑换新钞。
