Sagami Railway will gradually launch a credit card and other touch payment services utilizing Sumitomo Mitsui Card’s “stera transit” solution for public transportation on all Sotetsu Line lines in the spring of 2026. Thereafter, the service will be gradually expanded in accordance with the timing of automatic ticket gate renewal.
With the introduction of this service, passengers will be able to pass through ticket gates and board a train simply by touching a credit, debit, or prepaid card that supports touch-sensitive payment, or a smartphone with the card installed, to a dedicated terminal at an automatic ticket gate or similar machine.
Brands supported are Visa, Mastercard, JCB, American Express, Diners Club, Discover, and UnionPay.
Access the website of QUADRAC, which provides a payment and platform for transportation operators, and complete the membership registration process to check the usage history of touch payments.
