Odaily Planet Daily News: The Hong Kong Monetary Authority and the People's Bank of China are promoting the interconnection of the two regions' fast payment systems, namely Hong Kong's Faster Payment System (FPS) and the Mainland's Internet Payment Interbank Clearing System (IBPS). The technical target timeline for the interconnection of FPS and IBPS is tentatively set for June next year, but several banks in Hong Kong will conduct trials in April, hoping that other banks will participate when the official launch takes place in June.
