Press release: April 1, 2024
**
We will digitize childbirth and childcare support benefits.
In our city, we will use the easy-to-use regionPAY, which has a proven track record in providing national travel support in many local governments, to provide the government’s childbirth and childcare support benefits.
Our city is the first in the country to utilize regionPAY to provide childbirth and childcare support benefits. In addition, regionPAY will be used to provide benefits for meet tickets for meet tourism projects, and our city is the first municipality in the country to use regionPAY on a daily basis for multiple projects.
By digitizing childbirth and childcare support benefits, it is possible to limit the stores and purposes for which they are used, making it possible to provide benefits in line with business objectives and also contributing to the revitalization of the local economy. In addition, the city will be able to analyze data and contribute to the promotion of cashless payments in the region. Start date of use
