### Background of FreeiD Pay Service
DXYZ provides facial recognition services for access control in apartments and offices, as well as identity verification in theme parks, under the 'FreeiD' platform, which aims to connect the world with just one face registration. The company is advancing demonstrations toward commercializing 'payment' services at stores to realize a world where people can go out freely without keys, wallets, or smartphones.
In a trial at Aeon Mall Tokoname held over six days in early 2025, 346 people across a wide range of ages (20s to 60s) used 'FreeiD Pay,' resulting in 1,173 transactions totaling approximately 3.5 million yen. In a survey conducted at that time, over 95% of users responded favorably to the facial recognition payment service, indicating high expectations for the future.
Moving forward, DXYZ aims to solve social issues such as labor shortages in the distribution and retail industries through labor-saving and automation of store operations. The company is considering commercializing FreeiD Pay with POS integration. By linking with apartments, offices, and theme parks where FreeiD is already installed, DXYZ aims to realize a world where users can live, work, and play using only their faces.
