SoftBank could launch PayPay’s US IPO in Q4

Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, Mizuho Financial Group and Morgan Stanley are helping to lead the listing, which could take place as soon as the fourth quarter and raise over $2b. PayPay was launched in October 2018 and now has 70m registered users, which is equivalent to more than 1 in 2 people in Japan and about 2 out of 3 smartphone users in the country, according to the presentation.


 

In July 2023, it was reported that SoftBank was considering a U.S. listing for PayPay and that the potential listing was driven by New York’s greater potential for higher valuations for tech companies in comparison to Tokyo.
