After Lawson return system Cashless settlement ratio increased by 5 points Oct. 9 18:30
Lawson, a major convenience store, revealed that the ratio of cashless payments, such as credit cards and electronic money, has increased by about 5 points, partly due to the introduction of a pointless system for cashless payments after raising the consumption tax rate. I made it.
This was clarified at an interim settlement meeting held by Lawson in Tokyo on the 9th.
In the point-return system for cashless settlement, which started with the increase in the consumption tax rate, major convenience stores such as Lawson deducted the amount equivalent to 2% of the refundable amount from the purchase amount at the time of payment, and made a substantial discount .
At Lawson, the ratio of cashless payments for 6 days from the 1st to 6th of this month, when the consumption tax rate was raised, increased from about 20% to about 25% and increased by about 5 points.
In this regard, Lawson president Sadanobu Takemasu said, “So far, it is coming without any confusion, so we want to pay attention to how much the ratio of cashless will grow. However, consumers will buy more because there is a reduction of points. We are still in a situation where we buy as much as we need, ”he said.
