Payments Systems Opportunities and Challenges
Japan's unique payments environment coupled with the high cost of doing business there (not to mention the challenges presented by the language) make Japan a difficult market for U.S. payments vendors to penetrate. Difficult, but not impossible. For a company with the right products and/or services Japan represents a rich market that should not be overlooked.
However the Japanese payments market is very different from the one in the U.S. with respect to both legacy and new technology systems. On the legacy side most payments systems were developed in-house, and the country’s largest credit card network, CAFIS, handles some 90% of card transactions but is not ISO8583 compliant. On the emerging technology front, mobile contactless payments are not “emerging” in Japan - they are mainstream.
