aim of increasing uptake of the technology among retailers and consumers.<\/p>\n<p>The operator joins NTT Docomo [1], messaging company Line and Merpay parent Mercari in the organisation.<\/p>\n<p>As part of its strategy, MoPA aims to oversee a system where applications provided by member companies are able to accept QR code payments made in retailers with kit provided by any other partner.<\/p>\n<p>This, it believes, will simplify the mobile payments ecosystem and encourage merchants to adopt the technology.<\/p>\n<p>The Japanese government has been actively promoting the move away from cash in the country and offered a number of incentives to encourage this.<\/p>\n<p>MoPA argues the market has been subject to an \u201coverwhelming flood of services\u201d with the organisation pledging to create a \u201cmore convenient mobile payment experience for both merchants and users\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to joining the group, KDDI and its new partners signed a pledge to help increase the availability of cashless transactions in Japan.<\/p>\n<p>All four companies already run mobile wallets in the market, alongside a number of other major players including
