Start of combined billing of "TSUTAYA TV" usage fees and FLET'S Hikari usage fees

1. Background and Overview

Approximately 40% (*1) of people who purchase products, services, etc. on websites use payment methods other than credit cards. Additionally, some people who use credit card payments are concerned about registering their card information.

Until now, payment methods for "TSUTAYA TV" were limited to credit cards, but by using NTT East's billing agency service "FLET'S Collective Payment" (*2), it will be possible to pay for "TSUTAYA TV" together with the FLET'S Hikari usage fee, allowing you to use "TSUTAYA TV" without registering your credit card information.

To use the service, after applying, you can easily start using "TSUTAYA TV" by logging in to "TSUTAYA TV" using the "TSUTAYA TV" user ID and password that will be sent to you by email from NTT East. (※3)
