We sincerely appreciate your continued support.
In the fiscal year ended September 2024, although there were unstable factors such as recurring natural disasters, rising prices, a depreciating yen, and increasing geopolitical tensions, Japan’s economy was underpinned by positive developments, including the recovery of inbound tourism and the Nikkei Stock Average reaching an all-time high.
In the face-to-face cashless payment market, where our Group plays a key role, demand from merchants for cashless payment solutions remained strong, driven by labor shortages and rising personnel costs. As a result, we steadily increased the number of active IDs and successfully expanded our payment platform, achieving solid business growth during the fiscal year.
As a company responsible for providing the essential social infrastructure of cashless payments, we will continue to advance our efforts to deliver reliable, secure, and innovative payment solutions that support Japan’s digital economy and contribute to a sustainable society.
We look forward to your continued understanding and support as we strive to create new value for all stakeholders.
President & CEO,
Kentaro Sugiyama
