PayPay Corporation (“PayPay Corp.”, “we”), a joint venture of SoftBank Group Corp., SoftBank Corp., and Yahoo Japan Corporation, will extend the period of Second Machikado PayPay campaign to May 31 in 2020, though it was originally scheduled to end at the end of January 2020. Even after February, we will continue the “Second Machikado PayPay” campaign under which users can get, with a probability of once every 20 times, a PayPay Bonus worth up to 1,000 yen for a payment at stores eligible to offer a reward point rate of 5% (*2) under the Point Reward Project for Consumers using Cashless Payment Project (“Point Reward Project”) (*1).
If users win this campaign, they will be given the full amount of their payment for a purchase if the payment is 1,000 yen or less (*2), and at the same time, reward points of 5% of an amount of the payment under Point Reward Project. Accordingly, the users will be given a PayPay Bonus, an amount of which is higher than an amount they paid and will be able to enjoy shopping with more advantages.
The Machikado PayPay campaign is a PayPay’s unique campaign that allows users to enjoy shopping with advantages at stores eligible to offer a reward point rate of 5% under the Point Reward Project (*2). PayPay Corp. has been running the Machikado PayPay campaign since October 2019 when the Point Reward Project started. Many users have used PayPay through the campaign that allows them to shop with advantages at nearby stores, having caused many small and medium-sized stores eligible for the Point Reward Project to introduce PayPay. As a result, the number of merchants where if a payment with PayPay is eligible for reward points has exceeded 300,000 (*3).
PayPay Corp. will continue to provide the convenience of smartphone payments to all retailers, service providers as well as users, while aiming to achieve a society where they can do cashless shopping anywhere in Japan. In addition, we will develop the PayPay app from a “payment” app into a “Super app” that makes users’ lives richer and more convenient and foster a perspective “shop and pay anytime, anywhere with PayPay.”
