The post office will also introduce cashless payments on October 25 at 19:08
Japan Post will gradually introduce cashless payments from February next year as a payment method for buying stamps and postcards and taking out packages at post offices.
Cashless payments can be made for stamps and postcards paid at post office counters, prices for products sold in catalogs, and fees for delivering mail and packages.
From February next year, 65 stations will be introduced mainly at major post offices in each prefecture, and will be expanded to about 8500 in May next year.
After that, it was expanded while looking at the usage situation, and we would like to introduce it at all 20,000 post offices except the simple post office around 2023.
There are over 20 types of credit cards, electronic money for transportation such as JR East's Suica, and QR code settlement using smartphones.
Until now, due to the large fee burden on card companies, cash was the only means of payment at the counter. As the number of people who want to use a credit card for payments has increased, they decided to introduce it.
