ACCOUNTS UPDATED FOR VOUCHERS

About 95,000 people have successfully updated their stored value facility (SVF) account registration records so as to receive the first $5,000 consumption voucher under the new round of the Consumption Voucher Scheme in April.

The Government announced earlier the $5,000 consumption voucher will first be disbursed to eligible people using the registration information of the 2021 Consumption Voucher Scheme within April.

If the previously registered SVF account has become invalid, including Octopus cards which have been lost or refunded, people had to update their SVF account registration records by March 25 to receive the first $5,000 consumption voucher together with more than six million other eligible people who do not need to update their SVF account information.

For those who could not meet the deadline of March 25, they can still make applications to update their SVF account. However, there will be a delay in receiving the consumption vouchers due to the processing time required.

The Government reaffirmed that if people's SVF accounts, previously registered for last year's scheme, are still valid, they do not need to do any further registration or other procedures.
