- Electronic money that can be used seamlessly across the real world and the internet -

T-Money Corporation (Head office: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Eiji Natsume; hereinafter referred to as "T-Money") and T-MEDIA Holdings Corporation (Head office: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Kazuo Nakanishi; hereinafter referred to as "T-MEDIA") will launch the T-Money service on "TSUTAYA Online Games" (http://game-tsutaya.tsite.jp/), the first internet service operated by T-MEDIA to be played on PCs and smartphones, from December 21, 2015. This will enable T-Money to provide an electronic money service that can be used seamlessly across physical stores and the Internet.

T-Money is an electronic money service that allows users to use a single T-Card for points services and payments, and has been provided at approximately 14,000 brick-and-mortar stores in frequently visited businesses, such as FamilyMart, Tobu Store, and Drug Yutaka. You can use your T-Card with T-Money without any procedures, and you can complete all your shopping with just one T-Card, which is very convenient and is why it is currently popular with many T-Card users.

With the aim of expanding services to the internet so that electronic money charged at brick-and-mortar stores can also be used online, we have decided to introduce T Money to "TSUTAYA Online Games," which has a high affinity with T Money and has many T Card linked contents such as "World of T" and "Nyanko President!" that allow players to progress through the game at an advantage depending on how they use their T Card.

Because T Money is provided as a "server-managed electronic money" service, when using T Money online, there is no need to download an IC card reader/writer or a dedicated app; T Money that has been pre-loaded at a physical store can be used to make payments online. Going forward, we will expand the adoption of T-Money to internet services outside the CCC Group.

T-Money and T-MEDIA will create service plans that will satisfy and gain the support of the 56.31 million customers who use T-Card every day, and will propose new lifestyles.
