Japanese e-payment firms Konbini, Pay-easy join PPRO platform

This marks London-based PPRO’s entry to the Japanese e-commerce market.

Japanese payment methods Konbini and Pay-easy join London-based PPRO’s payments platform, an announcement revealed.

This marks PPRO’s entry to the Japanese e-commerce market.

Konbini and Pay-easy join over 150 local payment methods on PPRO's platform, a portfolio that already includes APAC heavyweights like Alipay, WeChat Pay, UnionPay, and GrabPay.

With Konbini, consumers can shop online and pay cash in-store at over 50,000 convenience stores across the country, including 7-Eleven, Lawson, FamilyMart, Ministop, and Seicomart.

Meanwhile, Pay-easy enables consumers to pay offline—with cash and cash cards at ATMs and post offices—or online using a bank transfer. The service has a network of more than 300 banks in Japan, with all major brands incorporated.

Currently, only 6% of Japanese consumers shop cross-border, presenting a huge untapped pool of shoppers who are yet to participate in the global e-commerce market, said PPRO global head of payments networks Kelvin Phua.
