In collaboration with Sumitomo Mitsui Card, Visa Worldwide Japan, Hokuyo Bank, Hokuyo Card, JCB, Hokkaido Bank, Sapporo Hokuyo Card, Nihon Signal, and QUADRAC, the system makes use of Sumitomo Mitsui Card’s public transportation solution “stera transit.”

The target stations include all 49 stations of Sapporo Municipal Subway’s Namboku Line, Tozai Line, and Toho Line. Supported brands are Visa, Mastercard, JCB, American Express, Diners Club, Discover, and UnionPay.
