According to the assessment of specialists presented in the publication, this initiative, involving major financial institutions, aims to revolutionize payment systems in the country.

Participation of Prominent Banks

The project will see participation from prominent banks such as

  • Mizuho
  • MUFG
  • Sumitomo Mitsui
alongside the fintech company Progmat. The pilot program is set to begin immediately, focusing on enhancing payment efficiency and reducing transaction costs for users.

User Protection and Transparency
