Tokyo, Japan, [2026-8-3] – In response to the devastating magnitude 7.1 earthquake that struck Kumamoto Prefecture, Digital Wallet Corporation (DWC), the owner and developer of Japan’s leading global mobile money transfer service, Smiles Mobile Remittance (Smiles), has donated 1 million Japanese yen to the official Kumamoto Prefecture Earthquake Relief Fund to support disaster relief and recovery efforts.
According to local authorities, the earthquake claimed 38 lives, injured more than 100 people, damaged over 11,000 buildings, and forced more than 8,500 residents to evacuate. Recovery efforts continue as communities work to restore homes, infrastructure, and essential services.
