PayPay Corporation (“PayPay Corp.”, “we”), a joint venture of SoftBank Group Corp., SoftBank Corp., and Yahoo Japan Corporation, will run a “40% Return” Campaign” at 6,500 or more famous eating-and-drinking chain stores nationwide (grant cap: equivalent to JPY 500 per payment, JPY 1,500 per campaign period). During the campaign, users get a PayPay Bonus (*2) of 40% of a payment amount if they make a payment with PayPay (*1) at one of 6,500 or more eligible restaurants and 210,000 vending machines nationwide. This campaign will be run as a part of the “Always, Somewhere WAKUWAKU PayPay” campaign (in February 2020) — a series of campaigns, which always offer special benefits somewhere in Japan, for users of the PayPay service. In March, a campaign that allows the users to shop at the eligible supermarkets with special benefits is scheduled to be run.
This campaign will be run in partnership with popular and famous eating-and-drinking chain stores in order to make people feel something familiar to cashless payments. We will run the campaign for the purpose of encouraging people who have never used “PayPay” to use it at this opportunity and encouraging people who have used “PayPay” to use it more.
Since the “PayPay” service was launched in October 2018, the number of cumulative registered users has exceeded 23 million and the number of merchants has exceeded 1.85 million (*3). Furthermore, PayPay was awarded as the top for “Top Free App Ranking”, as the most downloaded app in 2019, in “Best of 2019 Top App Ranking.” In addition, “〇〇Pay” was nominated as the top 10 of he 2019 U-Can New Words Buzzword Awards selected by the Gendaiyōgo no kiso chishiki (Basic knowledge of current terminology), and “PayPay” was awarded as a representative. Thus, PayPay has grown into a cashless payment service used throughout Japan.
In addition, a granted PayPay bonus can be used in online shops such as PayPay official stores and PayPay Mall. We hope that people use “PayPay” online and enjoy shopping with “PayPay”, which can be used anytime and anywhere.
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, with a sense of security. In addition, we will upgrade the PayPay app from a “payment” app into a “Super app” that helps to make users’ lives richer and more convenient and to foster a perspective “shop and pay anytime, anywhere with PayPay.”
