“VeriTrans Post Payment” Supports the “d payment” and “FamiPay” Smartphone Payment Apps

– DG Financial Technology, Inc. (DGFT), a payment service provider and a subsidiary of Digital Garage, Inc. (DG), has added two new payment methods for its “VeriTrans Post Payment” post payment service: “d payment (Invoice Payment)” in the smartphone payment app from NTT DOCOMO, and “FamiPay (Invoice Payment)” through the “FamiPay” smartphone app from FamilyMart.

In addition to payments at convenience stores and post offices, “VeriTrans Post Payment” supports smartphone payment apps including the “Rakuten Bank Convenience Store Payment (Convenience store slip payment by Rakuten Bank App)” and “LINE Pay (Invoice Payment).” The addition of “d payment (Invoice Payment)” and “FamiPay (Invoice Payment)” brings the number of smartphone payment apps to four types. This will provide better convenience because consumers can use their regular smartphone payment app to read the barcode on a payment slip and complete the payment without having to go to a convenience store or post office. Participating merchants that use “VeriTrans Post Payment” do not have to submit any new applications to use the “d payment (Invoice Payment)” and “FamiPay (Invoice Payment)” methods, which is expected to help draw new customers.

Including support for additional smartphone payment apps, DGFT will offer services and functions that are safer, more secure, and more convenient to meet diversified needs among both consumers and business operators in the post payment market, which is expected to continue growing.

■ About “VeriTrans Post Payment”
“VeriTrans Post Payment” is a post payment service for E-Commerce and mail-order business operators based on a system from SCORE. Co., Ltd., a joint venture by DGFT and Nissen Co., Ltd. in the post payment business. After the consumer makes a purchase, DGFT (SCORE) acts as the agent to send an invoice and collect the payment, then reimburses the merchant. This resolves the risk of uncollected payments for merchants, and also drastically reduces the tasks they have to perform for invoicing and operations. In addition, integration with the “VeriTrans4G” comprehensive payment service makes it possible to introduce a wide range of payment methods besides “VeriTrans Post Payment” all at once, which centralizes system development, transaction management, fund receipt, and calculation, thereby reducing the tasks that must be performed by merchants and optimizing their operations.
