What is the account transfer service?

The account transfer service is a payment method through which users pay via bank account.

Since usage fees are automatically deducted from customers’ accounts on the due date each month, the service reduces risk for merchants in managing uncollected payments due to forgotten or late payments and improves efficiency in collecting payments. In addition, customers who do not have a credit card or who are reluctant to use credit cards on e-commerce sites can avail of this service with peace of mind, leading to new customer acquisition.

Features

Benefits to customers

  • Customers don't have to go to the bank or a convenience store to pay.
  • Thanks to automatic withdrawals, there is no need to worry about forgetting to pay, paying late, or incorrect billing amounts.
  • Customers without a credit card can use the service with peace of mind.
  • Since charges are automatically deducted, there are no fees for depositing payments.

Benefits to businesses

We have highlighted 4 major aspects of the service below. Please feel free to contact us about the operational flow or any other questions you may have.

  • Increased Retention Rates

    There is less hassle for users as charges are made continuously without them needing to be conscious of having to pay, reducing cancellations and leading to higher retention rates.

  • Reduced Risk on Non-Payment

    Charges are automatically deducted from users’ accounts when the due date arrives, reducing the risk of delayed or unpaid charges.

  • Support for Pay-As-You-Go Billing

    Pay-as-you-go billing where payment amounts vary is also supported. This can be done by linking billing data that is based on users’ usage or purchase records.

  • Supports Most Bank Accounts

    Withdrawals from almost all bank accounts are supported, including Japan Post Bank and online banks, as well as commercial and regional banks nationwide.
