JPYC Adopted as Payment Method at Over 150 Stores One Year After Launch
- JPYC has been adopted as a payment method at over 150 stores, including restaurants, retailers, farm-direct shops, mobile vendors, and e-commerce sites, since its October 2025 launch.
- On September 14, JPYC provided Japan's Fair Trade Commission with information on the cashless payment market's competitive environment and its own payment structure, not as a complaint or formal consultation; it disclosed this on October 9.
- JPYC says decisions on whether to pass payment-cost savings to consumers via discounts or free shipping are left to individual merchants' business judgment.
