How Japan is moving towards a cashless society with digital salary payments

Where there is good , there is bad.
I don't like this idea at all. Not sure how it will work out for the Japanese that get paid in yen overseas though.
The Japanese government is preparing to introduce a system for companies to pay salaries digitally – without going through bank accounts – by spring 2023.
To have the govt. control your paycheck is NO GOOD.

Direct Deposit in US. Haven't seen a paper ck or paystub in maybe 10-12 yrs.

Social Sec too. Direct to bank. Never saw a ck.

Uh, direct deposit?

Sounds like a solution in search of a problem

How many people have a smartphone with a paypal (or similar) app but no bank account?

In Japan, foreigners have a very difficult time getting a bank account if they are not permanent residents and credit cards.

The media said that 9 million people were evacuated! Glad you're safe.

Stay safe*

Thanks. Mostly the southern part of Japan got hit hard. The typhoon ended up going toward the Pacific Ocean, but strong and heavy winds did a lot of damage . Thanks for your concern.
