TIS Inc. of the TIS INTEC Group (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; President: Yasushi Okamoto; hereinafter 'TIS') announced that it has conducted a 'Cashless Crime Prevention Awareness Survey' targeting 600 men and women nationwide aged 15-69 who have used cashless payments. The survey investigated awareness of fraudulent use, scams, and crime prevention measures related to cashless payments. According to the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, the ratio of cashless payments in Japan is steadily increasing to 58% in 2025. The goal is to raise this to 65% by 2030, and eventually to 80%, with necessary environmental developments underway *1. TIS has identified 'financial inclusion' as one of the social issues to focus on, and is working on system development to realize safe and smooth cashless payments. Recently, as the center of payment shifts from wallets to smartphones due to the spread of cashless transactions, new risks have emerged. According to the National Police Agency, the total damage caused by fraudulent remittances in internet banking in 2025 exceeded 10 billion yen for the first time, reaching approximately 10.4 billion yen. About 90% of the fraudulent remittance methods involved 'phishing,' where users are directed to fake websites via emails pretending to be real companies to steal information such as passwords. The number of reports in 2025 hit a record high of 2.45 million *2. While cashless payments are becoming more widespread, these problems are also occurring frequently. In this survey, by clarifying the damage situation of fraudulent use related to cashless payments, its recognition level, and people's crime prevention awareness towards the problem, we considered the perspectives required for the development of a cashless society in the future. *1 Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry 'Calculated the Cashless Payment Ratio for 2025' https://www.meti.go.jp/press/2025/03/20260331006/20260331006.html *2 National Police Agency Cyber Police Bu
