Saison Card

Origin of the Saison Card’s name

The Saison Card was named after the four seasons

The card was first issued in 1982 as the Seibu Card, a common card for the Seibu Ryutsu Group (Saison Group). In 1983, in anticipation of the full-scale transformation of the card business, including the shift from the house card strategy of the time to the affiliated card strategy and the conversion to international cards, the name Saison, from the French word for season, was adopted to suggest a card for all the seasons of year, and the Saison Card was born.

The SAISON spirit, the desire to provide even more convenient payment methods to customers, continues to inform the development of all our services.

HISTORY

Creative aspects

We have built a unique brand image
by constantly coming up with
topical catchphrases and imagery.

In order to distill Saison's uniqueness, we have always strived to create expressions that appeal to people's senses and transcend passing fads while capturing the spirit of the times. We value originality and have built our brand image through the continual creation of topical catchphrases and imagery.

Together, we can do it.
(1982~1984)

In order to express the key concept of "communication," we used large, warm illustrations featuring the moon, the sun and a star as the main motif. As a latecomer to the card sector at the time, we resorted to ads based on contemporary art to make Saison cards immediately recognizable and create an aggressive and innovative image.

Together, we can definitely do it.
(2016)

The “Together, we can do it” catchphrase was used when the first Seibu Card (now the Saison Card) was born in 1982. The term "together" includes not only customers and the Saison Card but also parents and children, couples, siblings and lovers, to stress the importance of interconnectedness in getting things done.
