■ About the “Seven-Eleven App”

The Seven-Eleven App was launched in June 2018 as a smartphone app designed to provide a fun and profitable experience through daily shopping at Seven-Eleven stores.
Users can shop and save by presenting their membership code to earn badges and Seven Miles. The service facilitates active communication with users by sending out coupons, information about new products and various promotions.

■ Characteristics of “PayPay”, the cashless payment service provided by PayPay Corporation

PayPay is a cashless payment service that continues to expand across Japan, available not only in major chain stores but also at small to medium scale retail stores, vending machines, taxis and even public transport. It is also available in various other scenarios including payments for online services and bill payments such as utility costs. PayPay has also expanded its breadth to services other than just payments, such as the “send/receive” feature that enables users to send PayPay balance (PayPay Money and PayPay Money Lite) between each other for free, or “bonus management” service which enables a simulated investment experience. PayPay also strives to create an environment that ensures a safe & convenient user experience, through measures such as providing a hotline where inquiries are accepted 24/7, and providing full compensation, in principle, in the event that the user is caused any damages.
