Facilitating Citizen Engagement
The
Saitama City Everyone's App is more than just an entertainment platform; it is designed with the aim of community engagement and better service delivery. As part of the app's ongoing development,
Tsunagu Co. is launching an online platform,
Saitama Link, where citizens can voice their opinions and suggestions. This initiative, alongside the newly added capability for bill payments—including water and sewage fees—through the app, shows a clear commitment to improving citizens' daily lives.
As digital transactions become a norm, the introduction of the
billing payment feature will allow residents to pay their municipal taxes directly through the app. This feature will include the ability to scan barcodes on payment slips, bringing convenience to their fingertips.
Conclusion
This exciting event not only aims to showcase the capabilities of the
Saitama City Everyone's App but also seeks to solidify community bonds within Saitama City. As the city embraces digital currency through engaging experiences, it opens up opportunities for better local economic activity and stronger ties throughout the community. Through innovative platforms and functions,
FeliCa Pocket Marketing continues to work towards enriching the lives of residents by fostering a sense of belonging and commitment to the community.
