Introduction to Omairi Pay®

In the rapidly evolving landscape of payments, cashless solutions have become an integral part of various sectors, including religious institutions. Recognizing the unique challenges faced by temples and shrines, Value Design Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Peicrowd Holdings, has developed a specialized cashless payment system known as "Omairi Pay®". This innovative service aims to enhance operational efficiency while respecting the principle of freedom of belief.

On August 28, 2026, Value Design is set to hold an online seminar to discuss "Omairi Pay®", which was initially introduced during a webinar on August 7, 2026. The seminar will cover the payment system’s structure, examples of cashless transactions for offerings and entrance fees, and the implementation process of "Omairi Pay®".

Background of Cashless Payments in Religious Institutions

With the increasing popularity of cashless transactions, temples and shrines are facing growing demands for cashless services. Many institutions find themselves at a crossroads, where they must consider how payment methods align with their spiritual and operational needs. Traditional commerce approaches do not always fit neatly into the framework of religious activities; hence, the need for a service that caters specifically to this sector has never been more apparent.

Development of Omairi Pay®

Under the supervision of the Kyoto Buddhist Association, Value Design has created "Omairi Pay®", a cashless payment option tailored for religious organizations. This initiative is designed with careful consideration of the sensitivities surrounding religious practices and aims to offer a practical and respectful payment solution. "Omairi Pay®" not only smooths out financial transactions but also respects the dignity inherent in spiritual activities.

Features of Omairi Pay®

1. User-Friendly Experience: The payment system is designed for ease of use, allowing visitors to make offerings and payments without any hassle.
2. Security and Privacy: Efforts have been made to ensure secure transactions, protecting both the institution's and visitors' information.
3. Support for Diverse Religious Practices: The platform is flexible, accommodating various traditions and practices associated with giving offerings and donations.
