Digitize Your Transit IC Card

Categories: Preparation | Transportation
Physical rechargeable transit cards such as Suica and Pasmo frequently face semiconductor shortages and long queues at terminal vending machines. Instead of waiting in line for a physical card, add a digital transit card directly to your smartphone's wallet before departure.
On compatible devices, you can add a digital Suica or Pasmo through your native wallet app within seconds and fund it using an existing credit or debit card. These digital cards work with near-field communication without needing to wake your phone screen or unlock face recognition at the ticket barriers. Beyond trains, subways, and buses, you can tap these cards to pay at convenience stores, vending machines, and coin lockers across Japan.
