The company has a diverse team of professionals from more than 50 countries and is building a world-class engineering organization.

PayPay's biggest competitor is "cash".

Japanese Language Policy
At PayPay, there is a mixture of Japanese and English spoken.

Some members can speak both English and Japanese, but some can only speak either English or Japanese.

PayPay doesn’t have an official shared language, but in practice English tends to be the primary language used for internal communications and technical discussions like code reviews.
