The company aims to serve as social infrastructure while establishing itself as "a company creating new lifestyles" by providing innovative services.

The company's short-term growth strategy focuses on expanding its cashless payment services.

The connected terminal expansion strategy targets new sectors such as financial institutions and public transportation, while the cross-selling strategy incorporates new services such as QR and barcode payments to diversify revenue streams.

Over the medium to long term, the company aims to build a new revenue foundation by providing "comprehensive distribution solutions" based on its payment infrastructure.

This approach will expand its information processing business and strengthen competitive advantage.
