This system developed by Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation and NEC displays a barcode necessary for payment when importing a dedicated application to the smartphone, and the user can use the checkout screen of the smartphone instead of the payment form You can pay by cash by having them read at. According to the stakeholders, "Ministop" in the convenience store chain and "Secoma" in Hokkaido will introduce this system during this month, as well as the biggest "Seven Eleven Japan" will be introduced next year.

This is due to the fact that due to popularization of online mail order etc. payment by convenience stores due to payment forms increases, shortening the waiting time of cash registers is a challenge.
