PayPay Suspends Top-Ups and Account Registration for Six Regional Banks
Published
Smartphone payment service PayPay announced on October 23 that it will temporarily disable top-ups from the bank accounts of six banks and new registrations of bank accounts with PayPay.
The suspension will run from 11:00 p.m. on October 30 to 11:59 p.m. on October 31. During this period, balances cannot be added to PayPay from the affected bank accounts. In addition, new bank accounts cannot be registered with PayPay.
PayPay is a payment service used by many people in Japan. Since many users rely on their PayPay balance for in-store payments and online shopping, being unable to top up may affect users' daily lives.
Users may wish to top up the necessary amount before the suspension period to be on the safe side. It is also advisable to check whether they use any of the affected banks.
