UPC Media Project Achieves Over Double Monthly Users

Univa Paycast Co., Ltd. (hereinafter UPC) announces that its official blog's monthly users have grown from 1,600 to over 3,400, more than doubling, as part of the "UPC Media Project" launched in April 2025.

In fiscal year 2026, as Phase 2, we will not only improve UPC services but also enhance content on various service sites, strengthen official blogs and other pages based on customer feedback, build a partner co-creation community, launch a contact site for overseas partners, and start webinar radio, all to drive further progress.

Our company endorses April Dream, a project by PR TIMES that aims to make April 1st a day for companies to share their dreams.

This press release represents the dream of "UPC / Univa Paycast".

Delivering Results with Numbers, One Year After Sharing Our Dream

On April 1, 2025, Univa Paycast announced the launch of the "UPC Media Project" through PR TIMES' "April 1st is April Dream" initiative.

Continuing to disseminate major themes such as regional revitalization, inbound tourism, and social issue resolution, starting from our own media—

One year has passed since that challenge began.

Official Blog Records Over Double Growth

The official blog's monthly users expanded from 1,600 at the project's inception to over 3,400.

(As of March 2026, company's own measurement)

This indicates not just an increase in access, but a steady rise in demand for highly specialized content on themes such as payments, Furusato Nozei (hometown tax donation), and regional economies.

In parallel, we opened a contact site for overseas partners and began international information dissemination utilizing platforms like LinkedIn. We have also actively participated in seminars for content providers and industry exhibitions, steadily promoting community building that integrates real and digital interactions.

Phase 2: Three Pillars to Expand the Stage for Co-creation

The UPC Media Project will accelerate its development in fiscal year 2026 along the following three axes:

1. Building a Partner Co-creation Community

We will establish a community platform connecting business partners and collaborators through UnivaPay and Cocofuru.

Our goal is to create an ecosystem where partners not only "use" but also "jointly promote" our services.

2. Full-scale Overseas Expansion

We will further enhance our contact site for overseas partners, promoting global co-creation with foreign companies looking to do business in Japan, and businesses/local governments facing cross-border payment challenges.

3. Connecting and Problem-Solving Community (e.g., Webinar Radio)

We will conduct real-time dialogues with partner companies and experts on themes such as payments, regional revitalization, and technology.

Moving from "delivering" knowledge to "co-creating" it. Starting with 'Payments'.

Future Developments

Last year, we spoke of our 'dream'. One year later, 1,600 people have become 3,400.

The numbers may seem small. However, this growth signifies the presence of those who resonated with the 'curiosity' we continued to share. In fiscal year 2026, we will transform that resonance into a community.

Anytime, anywhere, anyone—

We will continue to prove these words through media.
