経済｜ユニクロのUNIQLO Payが終了へ / Economy | UNIQLO’s UNIQLO Pay is coming to an end.

Summary

Uniqlo has announced that it will discontinue its cashless payment service “UNIQLO Pay” in January 2026.

This decision is attributed to the increasing use of QR code payments and credit cards, leading to a diversification of payment methods. There are currently no plans for a new payment service. New memberships and the registration of payment methods will end on October 14.

Chako: Hey Log, I heard that UNIQLO Pay is coming to an end! What do you think about that?
Log: Well, with the diversification of payment methods, it might be inevitable.
Chako: But UNIQLO Pay was so convenient! Why is it being discontinued?
Log: Maybe usage has declined since QR code payments and credit cards have become mainstream.
Navi: Just to add, companies often have to adapt to market changes, which can lead to these kinds of decisions.
Chako: I see, that makes sense! I wonder if they’ll introduce a new service?
Log: It seems that’s still undecided. I hope they do, though.

Admin’s Note

The discontinuation of UNIQLO’s UNIQLO Pay service feels like a reflection of the changing times. With the increasing prevalence of QR code payments and credit cards, it’s crucial for companies to adapt flexibly. As mentioned in the conversation between Chako and Log, users are concerned about the introduction of new payment services, but I hope to keep an eye on future developments. Additionally, the diversification of payment methods should lead to a more convenient shopping experience.
