Aplus Co., Ltd. (Tokyo Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Goji Noguchi; hereinafter referred to as Aplus), which operates the credit business of the Aplus Group, has announced that the number of companies that have adopted "Aplus Shopping Credit with T-POINT," a service developed in partnership with Culture Convenience Club Co., Ltd. (Tokyo Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Muneaki Masuda; hereinafter referred to as CCC), which operates "T-POINT," Japan's largest common point service, has exceeded 3,000 companies in just over a year since the service was launched on May 10, 2011, reaching 3,153 companies.

Note

"Aplus Shopping Credit with T-POINT" is a service where T members can earn 1 T-POINT for every 200 yen (including tax) spent on shopping credit when they present their T-CARD at Aplus shopping credit participating stores displaying the "Aplus Shopping Credit with T-POINT" mark.
We are pleased to announce that the number of companies using this service has now reached 3,153 for Aplus alone, and together with Zen-Nichi Shinpan Co., Ltd., an Aplus Group company that began offering the service in November of last year, the total number of companies has exceeded 3,700.
Aplus aims to become a credit company chosen by customers and supported by its partners by working to establish a new business model in the shopping credit field, such as expanding its network of shopping credit merchants through T-POINT, and encouraging customers to visit stores and use the shopping credit service by specifically requesting it through T-POINT.
Since last year, CCC has been strengthening partnerships with financial institutions, including credit card and consumer finance companies, as well as banks, securities companies, and life insurance companies, and will continue to expand its T-POINT service in the finance field, which is important for living life on one's own terms.
