Net Protections Inc. (headquartered in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Shin Shibata; “Net Protections”) is pleased to announce our B2C BNPL service, atone, is now integrated with Online ID Payment, provided by Sony Payment Services Inc.

The integration simplifies the adoption of atone for Sony Payment Services’ merchants and helps reduce operational burden.

We will now strengthen our partnership through payment service integration.
