The HDI AWARD 2025 award ceremony was held at Keio Plaza Hotel Shinjuku in May 2025.
We will provide a report on the award ceremony.
The HDI Rating Benchmark's "Quality Rating" is a four-level rating, ranging from three stars to no stars, assessed by judges from the customer's perspective in accordance with evaluation criteria set based on the international standards of HDI, the world's largest membership organization in the support services industry.
SB Payment Service's (hereinafter referred to as "SBPS") merchant support has been awarded the highest three-star rating in telephone support quality ratings by both companies and individuals for two consecutive years.

Upon receiving the award, Mr. Akamatsu, Section Manager of the Customer Service Section, Merchant Services Department, Business Operations Division, Customer Operations Headquarters, made the following comments:
"Thank you for contacting us."
We put our heart and soul into each and every word we say. We believe that it is the accumulation of these small things that has led to us receiving this award today. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all those involved, both inside and outside the company, for receiving this wonderful award. Our job is to transform the "anxiety" and "confusion" of the person on the other end of the line into "relief" and "gratitude." Behind this there have been countless failures and trial and error. Each time, we have supported each other as a team and taken one step at a time, striving to provide service that satisfies our customers. We believe that many challenges and difficulties lie ahead, but we will continue to value dialogue with our customers and staff as we strive to create an even better center.
Members: Yurie Naito, Ririko Yasuda, Naoki Kaneko, Makoto Tateishi
We would like to introduce the recipients of the individual awards.
Yurie Naito (5 years of experience supporting SBPS member stores)
We are extremely honored to receive an HDI three-star rating. We believe that this result was made possible by our franchisees who contact our franchisee support desk every day and provide us with their valuable feedback, and that our sincere response to their questions and our constant efforts to think about whether "if we made this kind of suggestion, would it make them more satisfied?" and "whether we could help them resolve their issues?" have also led to this positive evaluation. We would also like to express our sincere gratitude to each and every member of our franchisee support team who work diligently on the front lines and strive to improve quality. We will continue to work closely with our franchisees' perspectives and work together as a team to further improve quality so that we can continue to live up to their trust.
Ririko Yasuda (3 years of experience supporting SBPS member stores)
I am very honored to receive a three-star rating for the second year in a row, following last year. At the same time, I would like to express my deep gratitude to my team members and all those involved. I was conscious of changing the wording depending on how well the person in charge of inquiries understood the situation, so that I could provide more understandable guidance. I think that the evaluation was based on the fact that I always kept in the back of my mind how I would respond if I were in the franchisee's position. Of course, I will continue to work hard to improve in the areas that were evaluated this time, as well as in the areas where I am lacking.
Naoki Kaneko (SBPS affiliated store support experience: 1 year)
Thank you very much for the generous three-star rating. It is a great honor for someone with little experience.
We are truly grateful to all the people involved who have given us their advice and guidance. In the future, we intend to not only be more considerate of the feelings of our franchisees who contact us, but also to hone our communication and response skills so that we can provide them with information as clearly and quickly as possible. We will continue to work with confidence in order to receive even better reviews in the future.
Makoto Tateishi (3 years of experience supporting SBPS member stores)
We are very pleased to receive a three-star rating for the second year in a row. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to everyone involved. Since receiving a three-star rating last year, we have always kept in mind that "there is no end to telephone service" and have always strived to provide easy-to-understand and accurate guidance to our franchisees.
In addition, we believe that we received this recognition again this year as a result of our efforts to anticipate and provide support to our affiliated stores in order to ensure that they can use our service comfortably. We will continue to work toward further improving the quality of our service.
Congratulations to all the award winners.
SBPS will continue to strive to improve its services to exceed customer expectations, with an eye on winning three stars for the third consecutive year.
