All you need to do is place your credit card.
A new transportation payment service makes using public transportation more convenient.
Pay quicker and smoother. With our new payment service, you can just place your credit card (contactless) to pay for your transportation. It allows you to choose from a variety of payment methods such as Apple Pay, Google Pay and QR code via smart phones depending on where and what to use for.
The “Q-move” settlement and authentication center operated by us connects transportation fees calculated with the data gathered through card readers that credit cards were placed with credit card settlements. In addition, a web service where users can view their boarding histories will be provided. Our transportation company clients will have access to our high-speed and high-security settlement and authentication center specialized in transportation settlements regardless of the current implementation status of supported card readers.
