Consumers can load money into the cards online or through a mobile app, and can make payments online or in person through Visa debit cards.
CardFlex Japan CEO, Kaoru Arai, said they are pleased to bring the convenience, reliability and flexibility of prepaid payments to consumers across Japan with the launch of the Tay Two card.
"As more Japanese consumers demand cashless payment options, we expect the opportunity for prepaid in Japan to grow dramatically. CardFlex Japan’s ‘Bin Sponsorship-Program Manager’ model is ideally suited to bringing these essential products to market in Japan, and we look forward to working in collaboration with our partners to achieve this," Arai added.
i2c business activity group senior vice president, Stephan Koukis, said they believe there are tremendous opportunities to bring the value of prepaid to both consumers and organisations in Japan and across the wider Asia Pacific region.
