Paidy is a leading Japanese fintech company that pioneered the buy-now-pay-later (BNPL) model in Japan's e-commerce market. The company provides deferred payment services that allow consumers to make online purchases and pay later, typically within a month, without requiring a credit card or lengthy application process. Users can make purchases using just their email address and phone number.
Founded to address Japan's traditionally cash-heavy economy and lower credit card adoption rates, Paidy has become a significant player in Japan's digital payments landscape. The company was acquired by PayPal in 2021 for approximately $2.7 billion, marking PayPal's largest acquisition at the time. This deal reflected the growing global importance of BNPL services and Paidy's strong position in the Japanese market, where it has partnerships with major e-commerce platforms and retailers to facilitate seamless checkout experiences for consumers.
