The reasons the company gives

The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.

The NFC tap functionality will extend FPoS's reliable identity authentication and signature verification to in-person environments, broadening its applications in fields requiring a high level of reliability, including finance and healthcare. The company says the product was commercialized based on the results of a proof-of-concept trial of NFC tap payments conducted in September 2025.
