Contactless Payment Markets in Japan and South Korea Secure Payment Chips, Cards, Mobile Devices, and Readers Vendors and consumers in Japan and South Korea lead the world in adopting contactless payment solutions. Both countries have implemented nationwide services on a commercial scale. In Japan, FeliCa has created innovative businesses such as Suica and Edy through which credit card and financial service, transportation and mobile service companies have aggressively adopted FeliCa-based mobile phone and smartcard payment solutions. With the contactless transit card called T-money, South Korean card issuers designed a contactless payment system that includes USIM mobile payment solutions. Visa Wave and MasterCard PayPass began implementing contactless payment services in the South Korean retail sector early in 2006. This study assesses the Japanese and South Korean contactless payment market landscapes. It examines business models, tracks merchant uptakes, and gauges card issuers’ and consumers’ expectations in both markets. The report includes forecasts of shipments and revenues for chip, reader, and contactless payment solution-enabled devices to 2012. What Does This Report Answer?
