Electronic payment service provider Transaction Media Networks Inc. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Atsushi Otaka; hereinafter "TMN") supported the commercialization for the domestic market of the new product "Square Register (2nd generation)" released by Square K.K. (Location: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Headquarters: Block, Inc., USA; Block Head: Jack Dorsey; hereinafter "Square"), and commenced providing electronic money payment services on March 31, 2026.
Through TMN's gateway, compatibility with 11 electronic money brands, including transit IC cards, has been achieved.
In the domestic cashless payment market, electronic money—centered around transit and retail affiliated cards—continues to account for a high usage ratio alongside credit cards. Because the globally deployed Square platform does not natively support electronic money, which is a payment method unique to Japan, collaboration with a domestic partner is indispensable when rolling out products in Japan.
TMN has been highly evaluated for its operational track record and know-how cultivated over many years in the electronic money gateway business. Since 2020, as a partner for Square's domestic market, TMN has continuously provided development support for electronic money compatibility and payment services. TMN is the sole domestic collaborative partner for Square's electronic money provision, and to date, TMN has achieved electronic money compatibility for 6 Square product models.
The newly released all-in-one stationary POS terminal "Square Register (2nd generation)" is the next-generation model of the "Square Register," which has a strong track record of adoption in small retail stores, salons, and restaurants. It features updates such as improved durability and memory capacity, and is expected to further enhance the purchasing experience.
