Characteristics of SCI Payment

Data on consumers’ payment methods for each purchase

Based on data on payment methods for each purchase collected from a part of SCI participants, you can find which payment methods are used by whom, when, where, and for what. For payment service providers, the data will be resources for developing a strategy to identify their competitors as well as areas and stores where they should develop their franchisees.
Since the data can be tracked in chronological order, you can verify the effects before and after the implementation of measures.

Enables you to link with a wealth of data that captures consumers’ personalities

As consumers' needs and tastes diversify, data specific to a specific industry or category of business is not enough to approach insights such as “Why did they take that action?” or “Why did they make that decision?”
In addition to data on various industries and categories of business, INTAGE has developed data that provides an overview of “livelihood” such as consumer behavior, information contact behavior, and lifestyle awareness and values.
By combining SCI Payment and various types of data, you can capture values and lifestyle of each payment and settlement service users, and the media that campaign participants accessed. Thus, you can get closer to the “Why?” behind consumers' payment behavior.
