Leave a comment

TOKYO, Oct.1, 2020 — GA technologies Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President, CEO and Representative Director: Ryo Higuchi; Securities code: 3491; "The Company") hereby announces that being at forefront of real estate investment service, RENOSY ASSET has received the 2020 Good Design Award.

The award recognizes the customer experience of RENOSY ASSET, which provides a seamless real estate service （*1） from property selection to loan review, contract signing and income/expenditure management, to be completed online. Group company ITANDI, Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Shinpei Noguchi) has also received the award for its self-showing rental website OHEYAGO（ https://oheyago.jp/）

*1 Some documents are still needed to be signed in papers and required to send it by post.

◆ About RENOSY ASSET (https://www.renosy.com/asset)

The Company provides an integrated and seamless real estate service (renting, purchasing, investing, renovating and selling) that leverages technology under the RENOSY general PropTech brand. RENOSY ASSET is an asset building service that leverages real estate. Through data-driven proposals that utilize AI and experienced agent support, The Company is providing an unprecedented real estate investment experience from consideration of investments to management of properties.

<Key points of design>

The three key points below were used to design the real estate purchase experience. (Quoted from the Good Design Finder winners list)

  • Fully non-face-to-face buying and selling of real estate via online meetings, IT-based disclosures, digital contracts, and loan applications（*2）
  • Availability of property information and income/expenditure patterns via QR code makes it possible to run various income/expenditure simulations for comparison and consideration
  • Contract documents for owned property such as monthly cash flow management and confirmation of new properties for sale can be saved as digital

*2 Loan applications at some financial institutions

<Comment from judge>

Online contract procedures are something for which demand has increased all at once due to the COVID-19 pandemic. RENOSY ASSET is designed to offer a real estate investment service that takes everything from property selection to contract signing, loan review, and income management online. The important thing when it comes to conducting high-priced transactions such as real estate online is securing the trust of both parties. Building a system to ensure transparency in the series of processes from gathering information on properties to the reviewing of process is sure to serve as a model when taking other operations and services online.

 ◆ RENOSY’s past and future pursuing a better customer experience

Based on the mission of "inspiring people with technology and innovation", The Company has worked on reforming the customer experience in the real estate domain since its founding. The real estate industry is an analog one with paper-based materials and contracts as well as telephone/fax communications still in wide use. As such, the customer must also deal with the analog nature of the processes, and digitalization is a challenge. On the other hand, real estate is a high-priced product, so ensuring a relationship of trust between the customer and the company is a key point for ensuring post-purchase customer satisfaction and designing the experience. The Company got its start selling real estate but has been working on digitalization of various processes since its founding and emphasizing the utilization of technology from these standpoints. By placing the same level of emphasis on real services such as face-to-face meetings and proposals by agents, The Company has provided cutting-edge real estate investment services that combine real estate and technology.

However, the way things are done in society continues to change dramatically in response to COVID-19. Business deals addressing the new normal are being sought after in various industries, and non-face-to-face transactions that leverage technology are gaining attention in the real estate industry as well. The Company has been promoting digitalization of the real estate transaction process for some time and, under the current circumstances, was able to launch a  fully non-face-to-face real estate sales 17 days after the declaration of a state of emergency.

The Company will work on further improvements of customer experience created by combining real estate and technology and promote research on building trust in non-face-to-face transactions in anticipation of the post-COVID-19 era. In so doing, The Company aims to create and share the next design.

 ◆ About the Good Design Award

The Good Design Award is a movement aimed at enriching our lives and society through design. Since the foundation in 1957, it has been commonly known together with the "G Mark", the symbol of winning the award.

Good Design Award has recognized various objects surrounding us, including industrial goods, architecture, software, systems, services and so on. No matter tangible or intangible, Good Design Award will take it as design, evaluate and honor its quality, as long as it is created to fulfill certain ideals or purposes.

Nowadays, in the increasingly complex society, our expectations for the role of design in solving problems and discovering new topics are evolving constantly. Through the screening and various ways of promotion, Good Design Award aims to provide support to those who have managed to identify the possibilities of design, explore what can be made happen with design, broaden the fields where design can play a role, and ultimately lead to the creation of the society where everyone can lead a rich and creative life.

SINGAPORE, Oct. 1, 2020 — YouTrip, Singapore’s leading multi-currency mobile wallet introduces 3-Domain Secure 2.0 (3DS 2.0) authentication protocol to offer enhanced security for online transactions, as e-commerce transactions are expected to be the new-normal of purchasing. YouTrip 3DS 2.0 technology provides a more seamless and secure payment experience compared to its 1.0 predecessor, reducing payment dropout and fraud rate by up to 50%. The latest 3DS 2.0 technology is the first update to the payment technology since 3DS 1.0 was launched in 2001.

Pandemic-driven Digital Shift

As consumers started relying more on online shopping during the Circuit Breaker period (April to June), YouTrip has observed a 300% quarterly growth in e-commerce transactions as compared to the same period last year. Seeing the upward growth in YouTrip transactions on local and overseas online merchants, YouTrip introduces 3D Secure 2.0 as an additional layer of security to reduce fraudulent activities in online transactions. A research conducted by Mastercard showed that consumers will continue to prefer shopping online than in-stores even after the pandemic, boosting the shift to digital commerce for safety and convenience purposes.

Ms Caecilia Chu, Co-Founder and CEO of YouTrip shares: "Seeing how our YouTrip users are channelling their travel spirit to purchasing items from all over the world, it’s more critical than ever that we ensure a secure payment experience so they can fully enjoy the convenience of online shopping!"

YouTrip’s 3DS 2.0

YouTrip has implemented the 3DS 2.0 technology, a mandatory protocol by European card schemes standards as of October 2019 to improve the customer payment experience for users in Southeast Asia region.

One of the pain points of 3DS 1.0 is the cumbersome payment experience that has resulted in 22% of payments getting lost during the authentication process. Typically, 3DS 1.0 requires users to input either a static password or SMS One-Time password sent a registered mobile number to verify their payment.

With YouTrip’s 3DS 2.0 in place, users will be prompted to authorise their online payments through their YouTrip app. By logging into the YouTrip app to authorise the payment, it ensures that the transaction amount and merchant being paid to is made by the user. The overall user experience of authenticating through YouTrip 3DS 2.0 interface is more seamless than its predecessor.

Enhanced Security to Combat Fraud

With 10 times more risk assessment data points than 3DS 1.0, YouTrip 3DS 2.0 provides a more robust risk-based authentication to screen online merchants. By analyzing over 150 key data points related to the transactions, YouTrip 3DS 2.0 technology is able to better determine if it’s an actual purchase by the user and reduces transactions being falsely declined. Within the first two weeks of launch, YouTrip has reduced the possibility of potentially fraudulent activities by 15%.

"YouTrip’s journey to creating the best mobile financial services in Southeast Asia has only just begun! We’ll continue to innovate and leverage our technological expertise to provide the best cross-border payment experience – both online and offline for our users," Caecilia adds.

Borderless Payment Experience

Beyond security enhancement purposes, YouTrip 3DS 2.0 expands online shopping options for users to shop securely from all 3DS-enabled merchants worldwide. The latest authentication process also allows YouTrip users who are based overseas to enjoy the same seamless and secure online payment experience, since the authentication process is done via the YouTrip app and not SMS One-Time-Password (OTP) to a Singapore number.
