Smartpay sets new standards in Japanese fintech with $7M Pre-Series A funding In an impressive stride for Japanese #FinTech, #Smartpay has clinched a $7M Pre-Series A funding round, spearheaded by industry giants SMBCVC and Angel Bridge株式会社 VC. This significant financial boost underscores the burgeoning interest from both local and global investors in Japan's burgeoning fintech scene, with Smartpay leading the charge. Smartpay has carved a niche for itself by being the first in Japan to introduce a no-interest, no-late-fees installment #payments option at the point of purchase, revolutionizing the e-commerce landscape. This innovation offers Japanese consumers a frictionless online shopping experience, eliminating the need for physical store visits for installment arrangements. With the launch of "Smartpay Bank Direct," the company has addressed a significant market need, appealing to the 70% of Japanese consumers who favor bank transfers over credit card payments. This pioneering service allows for direct bank account debits for online purchases, offering a secure and straightforward payment alternative. The fresh infusion of capital from this funding round is earmarked for further service enhancements and expansion efforts. Smartpay aims to launch a fully digital in-store payment system featuring automatic installments, free of charge. This ambitious move seeks to democratize access to Smartpay's services, targeting 2 million consumers and 30,000 merchants in the upcoming years. Smartpay's innovative payment solutions have proven to be a boon for Japanese merchants, significantly boosting average order values and slashing cart abandonment rates. By streamlining the checkout process and offering digital finance options, Smartpay has effectively tackled key challenges faced by consumers and merchants alike. Jun Morita from Onward Group shared a compelling testament to Smartpay's impact, noting a substantial increase in average order values following its integration into Onward Closet, the group's e-commerce platform. This surge in consumer spending, especially during promotional events like SmartWeek, highlights Smartpay's ability to enhance customer satisfaction and drive sales.
