PayPay Card Corporation (hereinafter “PayPay Card”) is pleased to announce that on February 28, 2025, it has added three new designs—lavender, blue, and pink—on top of the current black PayPay Card, now giving users four options when issuing a PayPay Card.*1, *2 Furthermore, with the introduction of these new designs, the PayPay Card icon displayed within the PayPay app will now reflect the design of the card held by the user.*3
*1. The design can be selected when newly or additionally issuing a PayPay Card. The design of a card already in possession cannot be changed.
*2. Excludes the issuance of PayPay Card Gold (annual fee: 11,000 yen, tax included).
Until now, PayPay Card has only offered a black card. However, it has added three distinct new designs to enable members to enjoy shopping even more with a card they like. Moreover, because it has become possible to issue multiple PayPay Cards since August 2024, allowing users to issue cards by international brand and to use multiple cards for different purposes, the varied designs will allow users to distinguish their cards more quickly, further improving convenience.
Just as with the black card, the new cards do not have the card number, security code, or expiration date printed on the card in order to enhance security. All information can be checked via the PayPay app. When viewing card information in the PayPay app, the card icon will reflect each user’s card design.*3
*3. The new card designs will be shown in the PayPay app starting in March 2025. Update the PayPay app to the latest version to use this feature.
■ The three new designs
– Lavender
A billiant design that brightens up the everyday shopping experience

– Pink
A vivid hue which brings fun to every purchase
■ View in the PayPay app
The design of the PayPay Card held by the user will be reflected in the card icon in the PayPay app. If combined with the existing card name feature, users will be able to distinguish their cards even more easily when using multiple PayPay Cards for different purposes.
*For illustrative purposes.
PayPay Card and PayPay will continue to take a user-first approach, aiming to improve user satisfaction and create services that deliver more convenient and rewarding experiences, and will provide cashless services that become the indisputable industry standard in Japan.
