- Lost your wallet and everything on your phone. From points to payments with one tap
CCC Marketing Co., Ltd. (Head office: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Noritake Takeda; hereinafter referred to as "CCC Marketing"), a subsidiary of Culture Convenience Club Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "CCC"), is pleased to announce that it will begin offering the "Smartphone Wallet" app on July 20th, a common platform that consolidates the various cards in your wallet, such as point cards, stamp cards, credit cards, electronic money, and cash cards, into a single app and allows them to be used via the app.
The "Smartphone Wallet" app is a new service based on the concept of "allowing you to use just one smartphone for everything from points to payments."Consumers can streamline their wallets by consolidating the various cards in their wallets into the "Smartphone Wallet" app. In addition, the Smartphone Wallet app acts as a wallet, and by presenting a barcode or QR code at the store, points can be accumulated on various cards at the time of payment, allowing for a seamless process right up to payment.
CCC Marketing will provide consumers with a new and unprecedented shopping experience that will make their daily shopping more convenient and enjoyable. Additionally, for partner companies of the "Smartphone Wallet" app, we aim to contribute to sales expansion by providing CRM functions through the distribution of information such as coupons, acquiring new customers through the "Smartphone Wallet" app, and simplifying in-store operations.
Going forward, we will strive to create new customer value by making the "Smartphone Wallet" app the de facto standard in Japan as a common platform that consolidates all cards.
The current partner companies for the "Smartphone Wallet" app are as follows. We will continue to expand our partnerships to all types of industries and business sectors, and provide services with high value to our customers.
