■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 expanding across the country, available not only at major chain stores but also at small and medium size retailers, vending machines, taxis and even public transportation. It can also be used in a variety of other scenes, including paying for online services and utility bills. PayPay is also expanding its range of services beyond just payments, including a “send/receive” feature (remittance/transfer and receiving of money) that allows users to transfer their PayPay balance (PayPay Money and PayPay Money Lite) between each other for free, or “bonus management”, a service that allows users access to a simulated investment experience involving the exchange of PayPay Bonus with points provided by a Type 1 Financial Instruments Business Operator that PayPay partners with. The company also strives to create a safe and convenient environment for users through a hotline available 24/7 and a full compensation scheme ensuring, compensation for any damages that may be suffered.  

PayPay Corporation is registered as follows:

* PayPay provides 4 types of PayPay balance: PayPay Money, PayPay Money Lite, PayPay Bonus and PayPay Bonus Lite. PayPay money can be used for payments at partner services and merchants as long as the amount is within the amount deposited into the PayPay account opened after verifying your identity. It can also be used for sending and receiving money between PayPay users free of charge. PayPay can also be cashed out to a designated bank account (no withdrawal fee if using Japan Net Bank). The legal nature of this is an electromagnetic record which can be used to pay for goods and other services, and can be remitted or cashed out, issued by PayPay who is a Fund Transfer Operator registered under Article 37 of the Act on Fund payment. PayPay Money Lite is an e-money issued by PayPay, which can be purchased and used to pay for services and merchants. PayPay users can transfer and receive PayPay Money Lite free of charge. The legal nature of this is a prepaid payment instrument issued by PayPay (Article 3, Paragraph 1 of the Payment Services Act). In addition, PayPay Bonus and PayPay Bonus Lite, which are granted through campaigns and promotions when using PayPay, can be used for partner services and merchants in addition to PayPay Money and PayPay Money Lite. However, PayPay Bonus and PayPay Bonus Lite cannot be sent or transferred between PayPay users or be cashed out. PayPay Bonus Lite has an expiration date.

PayPay also strives to create a safe and secure environment for users. If an unexpected payment is made by a third party using a PayPay account, or if a request to settle a payment suddenly arrives from PayPay to a user that does not have a PayPay account, there is a scheme that ensures compensation for the damages suffered (the difference will be provided as compensation if compensation is also provided by a third party), given that the prescribed conditions are met. Please see“Applying for compensation”for details.
