Each purchase will be automatically converted into a Japanese yen purchase with Paidy that can be settled each month with Paidy "Atobarai," the Buy Now Pay Later service, or 3-Pay. This will allow Paidy users to manage their budgets easily and wisely within the Paidy app. Paidy's mission is to "take the hassle out of your payment and purchase experiences." It aims to create an environment where everyone can shop wisely and joyfully. With Paidy, customers can shop easily with just their mobile phone number and email address, and then pay the accumulated charges the next month. From October, 2020, Paidy also began offering 3-Pay, a service that allows customers to split charges into three equal, interest-free, monthly installments (*), which has been very well received. Paidy Link is available in the Paidy app, as part of a service that includes 3-Pay, visible credit limits, and more. Customers can start using Paidy Link immediately by opening the Paidy app, and then following a few simple steps to link their Paidy account to PayPal.
