Scope
Cash is largely used for low-value payments. However, cash is gradually losing its share of total payments due to the shift towards cashless payment methods. In a bid to promote cashless payments as well as to increase the adoption of mobile wallets, since April 2023 companies in Japan have been allowed to transfer salaries directly to their employees via alternative payment solutions, including mobile wallet brands, in addition to regular credit transfers.
The growing adoption of contactless card payments for transport services will support card payment growth. In August 2023, the Tokyo public transportation system expanded its contactless payment system in metro trains, starting with the Den-en-toshi Line from Shibuya, with the aim of expanding it across all lines by mid-2024. This enables commuters to make contactless payments using credit, debit, and prepaid cards as well as smartphone QR-code-based payments at metro stations.
The proliferation of digital-only banks has helped drive competition in banking, thus boosting debit card holding. In June 2023, digital-only bank Habitto went live. It offers a mobile-only savings account along with Visa debit cards. Meanwhile, digital-only bank Minna Bank is enabling its customers to open a bank account via its website or mobile banking app within a few minutes.
They also receive a virtual debit card. To boost debit card usage, the bank is running its "Go! Go! 5x Cashback" campaign, offering discounts of up to 5% to premium customers and discounts of up to 1% for non-premium customers on debit card purchases at partner stores. Since its inception, the bank has served over 600,000 bank accounts.
