### Background of FreeiD Pay DXYZ provides 'FreeiD,' a platform where your face connects you to the world for residential access, office entry, and identity verification. To realize a world where people can go out freely without keys, wallets, or smartphones, DXYZ is promoting payment service trials.

In a recent trial at Aeon Mall Tokoname (Jan/Feb 2025), 346 users across various age groups performed 1,173 transactions totaling approximately 3.5 million yen. A survey showed that over 95% of users were favorable toward the service, indicating high expectations for the future.

DXYZ aims to solve social issues such as labor shortages in the retail industry through automation and labor-saving operations. They are considering business expansion through POS integration and linking public commercial spaces with 'FreeiD' integrated residential and office buildings.

### About FreeiD Platform FreeiD is a facial recognition ID platform that connects living, working, and playing. It integrates all IDs into your face. The 'FreeiD Mansion' solution offers Japan's first 'All Facial Recognition Condominium,' where residents can access entrances and elevators without keys (376 buildings completed as of March 2026).
