Through the partnership, InComm’s network of more than 18,000 retail locations such as pharmacies, supermarkets, home appliance retailers, and discount stores, will be able to accept J-Coin Pay. As per a press release, the payment service is expected to be rolled out at these locations through 2019.
J-Coin Pay enables customers to make payments, send, receive transfers, and conduct other financial transactions using their mobile phones. Moreover, users can also use the app to move funds between J-Coin Pay accounts and other deposit accounts at their respective banks without zero charges.

Although Mizuho touts J-Coin Pay as a digital currency platform, it is important to note here that the payment service is a QR-code payment system, resembling Alipay and WeChat Pay, Quartz reported.
