Hiroto Takagi, Corporate Officer, PayPay Corporation, commented: “We are very pleased to partner with Codashop to provide the PayPay payment service. As of June 2024, PayPay has more than 64 million registered users, which means that one out of every two people in Japan uses the PayPay app. Since its launch in October 2018, PayPay has been widely adopted by brick-and-mortar stores, including large chain stores and small and medium-sized shops, but as lifestyles change due to the coronavirus pandemic, we have also focused on introducing it to online services. In particular, the need for payment by code has been growing for online services because it does not require credit card and other information to be input at the time of payment. We will continue to deepen our cooperation with Codashop to provide users with a safe, secure, and more convenient payment experience.”
Coda, headquartered in Singapore, has deep roots across Southeast Asia and rapidly expanded globally from the US to LATAM and MENA in recent years. Teaming up with Japan’s leading payment service provider, PayPay, is a significant step for Coda as it continues to expand its presence in the Japanese market.
