DXYZ Unveils Face Recognition Payment Service at Tanabata Market

DXYZ, a subsidiary of Migalo Holdings, is set to provide its innovative face recognition payment service, FreeiD Pay, at the "Matatabi Market - Evening Cool Tanabata Event" scheduled to be held on August 2, 2025, near Kirishima Shrine Station. The event is organized by IFOO, a company specializing in the renovation of traditional houses and local community design in Kagoshima.

The introduction of FreeiD Pay aims to enhance interactions between visitors and vendors while boosting customer satisfaction and sales for participants at the market. Attendees who utilize the face recognition payment system on-site will receive gift vouchers redeemable at the event, encouraging wider adoption and exploration of this cutting-edge payment method.

Background of FreeiD Pay

Migalo Group's DXYZ has developed a face recognition ID platform called FreeiD that allows users to connect with the world using just their facial recognition profile. This service is currently utilized for access control in residential buildings and offices, as well as for identity verification in theme parks. With its goal of enabling a cashless society where individuals can make transactions using merely their faces, DXYZ is pushing forward with real-world applications of the service.

Feedback from previous implementations of FreeiD Pay indicated a promising acceptance level, with over 95% of users expressing favorable opinions about the face recognition payment service. This positive reception showcases the growing anticipation for such technology among consumers.

Looking ahead, DXYZ will continue devising ways to operationalize FreeiD Pay, particularly in retail and distribution, addressing societal issues like workforce shortages through automation and efficiency improvements in store operations. By collaborating with various entities, including apartment complexes, offices, and theme parks that have adopted FreeiD technology, DXYZ endeavors to create a seamless experience where people can navigate life without physical keys, wallets, or smartphones.
