US payment company PayPal to acquire emerging "buy-now, pay later" provider Paidy for 300 billion yen
米決済ペイパル、後払い新興のペイディを買収 3000億円
Founded in 1998, PayPal has established a strong position in the e-commerce payment industry with its usability. The number of operating accounts exceeded 400 million by the end of June. About 40% are outside of the US. There are 32 million member stores that accept payments via PayPal. Its market capitalization of about 340 billion dollars is on par with major US banks.
So far, PayPal's focus for the Japanese market has been cross-border e-commerce payments for overseas products. It has 4.3 million active accounts in Japan. PayPal CEO Dan Schulman has listed Japan, the world's third-largest e-commerce market, as one of its key regions. He sees Japan, where cash is used for 70% of payments, as having a lot of room for growth. By acquiring Paidy, which has 6 million users, PayPal aims to quickly increase its presence in the domestic payment market.
