About the current status of the Company and future policy

In recent years, Credit card payment has become widespread in utility charge payment such as electricity, gas, and water, and we have been providing recurring payment services that are closely related to consumers' lives to businesses in various industries and business categories, in addition to one-time billing such as e-commerce product sales.

With the adoption of NHK this time, the field of provision of recurring payment services has been further expanded. On the other hand, the recurring payment field is expected to grow further in the future, as studies are being conducted to make Credit card payment possible in the payment fields of public fund, such as national tax, local taxes, and pensions.

We will continue to focus on providing a safe and convenient Credit card payment environment for businesses and consumers.
