Embracing Tailored Solutions: Introducing PLATINUM PAY

In the dynamic world of cashless payments, NLN Corp., headquartered in Shinjuku, Tokyo, is setting a new standard with its innovative payment service, PLATINUM PAY. This service not only caters to a broad range of payment types but also personalizes transaction fees based on specific merchant needs and customer profiles.

A Shift in Payment Fee Structure

For many retailers, transaction fees represent a significant ongoing expense correlated directly with sales revenue. Traditionally, most cashless payment services have used a one-size-fits-all model, where merchants are charged fixed rates based on their choice of payment brands and contract terms.
However, NLN recognizes that customer demographics vary significantly between stores. For instance, a shop primarily serving local customers has markedly different payment needs compared to one that caters to tourists. This insight has led to the development of the ‘four quadrants’ pricing model—an industry-first.

Personalization through the Four Quadrants

Under the new model, PLATINUM PAY combines Visa and Mastercard payments with domestic and international card issuers, resulting in four distinct payment categories. By analyzing a merchant's customer makeup, the service can offer individualized fee proposals that address their specific requirements.

Important Features of PLATINUM PAY

1. Individual Pricing with Four Quadrants: Fee structures are tailored based on varying customer bases and payment types, ensuring each merchant gets the most appropriate setup.
2. Zero Initial Costs: Zero setup fees, device costs, or monthly service charges mean merchants can adopt PLATINUM PAY without upfront financial pressure. The only exception occurs if credit sale benchmarks aren’t met, triggering a nominal monthly fee.
3. Comprehensive Cashless Solutions: The all-in-one payment terminal, PAX A920MAX, supports credit cards, contactless payments, QR code transactions, and electronic money—streamlining payments and receipt issuance from a single device.
4. Flexible Deposit Cycles: Merchants can choose from various deposit frequency options, allowing for more adaptable cash flow management.
5. Special Rates for SMBs: Small and medium-sized businesses can benefit from exclusive rates upon meeting specified criteria, making PLATINUM PAY an appealing choice for this sector.

Insights from President Shingo Nishine

Shingo Nishine, the CEO of NLN, comments, “The payment structure for a store focused on domestic customers significantly differs from one frequented by international visitors. We believe in the importance of considering unique circumstances and designing transaction fees accordingly. With PLATINUM PAY, we aim to evolve payment costs from standardized offerings to personalized solutions that fit each merchant's business.”

Why Choose PLATINUM PAY?

With continually diversifying payment preferences, businesses require a flexible and intelligent solution to keep pace with market demands. PLATINUM PAY provides that by assessing each merchant's operational needs and tailoring fees in alignment with their customer base.
Each proposal is unique, factoring in industry type, business scale, and transaction patterns, paving the way for efficient cost structures that can adapt to shifting consumer behaviors.

Conclusion

As merchants grapple with managing cashless payment complexities, NLN’s PLATINUM PAY could very well be the answer to not only simplifying transactions but smartly managing associated costs. It emphasizes the importance of customization in today’s fast-paced retail environment and represents a commitment to making payments not just cheaper, but easier and more accessible for all merchants.
