To combat fraud Prevent
fraudulent damageBy combining our proprietary AI fraud detection with EMV 3-D Secure, we can visualize payments suspected of fraud and provide additional authentication, enabling both fraud prevention and reduction of lost purchasing opportunities.
A smooth purchasing experience
By eliminating the process of entering card information,
Encourage repeat purchases
The credit card information storage function allows you to make purchases without entering your card information the second time and onwards, which leads to increased purchase rates for in-game items, etc. It can also be used for regular recurring charges such as monthly fees for distribution services.
Simple smartphone operations reduce abandonment at the time of purchase
With Mobile Carrier Billing, you can complete the payment by simply entering the PIN number that you have pre-registered with each carrier.
Unlike Credit Card Payment, which require long numbers to be entered, you can make purchases with simple operations on your smartphone even while traveling on the train, which is expected to reduce customer abandonment. In addition, our Mobile Carrier Billing is the only one in the industry that supports recurring charges from three carriers.
In addition, we have a number of other recommended payment methods available to suit the services of digital merchants.

Case studies
GungHo Online Entertainment Co., Ltd.
The safe, secure and smooth payment environment of SB Payment Service, which supports one of the largest membership sites in Japan, is key.
Reduce fees through out-of-app purchases
Relaxing existing rules to curb payment fees
Until now, payment for app services was required to use payment methods with high fees provided by Apple or Google, but an agreement was reached between the Japan Fair Trade Commission and Apple, and it is now possible for reader apps (e-books and music) to link to the payment screen on their own websites and accept payments. Furthermore, the Smartphone Software Competition Promotion Act, which was approved by the Cabinet in June 2024, is expected to further encourage charging on their own websites (outside of apps) in the future.
We suggest to app developers how to sell content on the Apple Store, Google Play, and e-commerce sites.
