Meet the new PayPay Ambassadors for the 2023 season!
Yuki Yanagita and Ryoya Kurihara were appointed as PayPay Ambassadors to promote “PayPay” this season.
PayPay Dome introduced “PayPay” in March 2019 for purchases of food and drinks, merchandise sales, food vendors/stalls, the SUPER BOX, and ticket booths. The use of “PayPay” and other cashless payment methods is steadily expanding, as evidenced by the fact that on some days during last season, the number of payments made using “PayPay” by visitors to PayPay Dome accounted for approximately 80% of the total number of payments. In order to make PayPay Dome completely cashless from the 2024 season onward, the Hawks will further increase the penetration of cashless payments through initiatives such as “Super PayPay Cashless Day.”
Fukuoka Softbank HAWKS Corp., PayPay Corporation, and SoftBank Corp. will continue to strongly promote PayPay Dome and BOSS E-ZO FUKUOKA going cashless, and will keep maintaining the effort to make cashless payments more convenient and rewarding in the surrounding areas.

Based on the provisions of Article 14 of the Payment Services Act, PayPay preserves the relevant assets for the purpose of protecting the owners of the prepaid payment instrument by providing a security deposit for issuance to the Legal Affairs Bureau in an amount that is half or more of the unused balance of prepaid instrument methods as of March 31 and September 30. In addition, PayPay Points and PayPay Bonus Lite, which are granted through campaigns and promotions when using PayPay, can be used for partner services and in transactions at 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, after which it will no longer be valid. PayPay Gift Voucher is a type of electronic money issued by PayPay, which can be used to make payments for affiliated services and merchants designated by the PayPay Gift Voucher. However, it cannot be transferred to other users or cashed out. PayPay Gift Vouchers are valid for six months after issuance, after which they will no longer be valid.
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, providing that certain conditions are met, the user can be compensated for the damages suffered (the difference will be provided as compensation if compensation is also provided by a third party). Please see applying for compensation for details.
