GMO後払い (GMO Postpay)

Wiki route

This entry sits under the payment-firms INDEX as a PSP-side BNPL product. Read it against the Japan BNPL landscape system note, with the GMO Payment Gateway sibling explaining the merchant-acquiring stack and the Net Protections HD / Paidy peers showing pure-play BNPL. The BNPL and credit-purchase boundary frames the regulatory question, the METI credit-purchase registry anchors registration, and the Japan payment scheme economics matrix places it next to card / code economics.

TL;DR

GMO後払い is an EC postpay payment operated by GMO ペイメントサービス株式会社 (GMO Internet G, an affiliate of GMO Payment Gateway). It is a case of a PSP-origin group building and operating BNPL in-house, providing merchant contracting / credit / invoice issuance / collection agency in one package. Alongside Net Protections’ NP postpay and Yamato’s Kuroneko Atobarai Payment Service, it is a major option for EC postpay.

1. Legal entity / license boundary

2. Business role

• Against the card-payment PSP line provided by GMO ペイメントゲートウェイ (GMO PG), GMO ペイメントサービス handles the sibling line of postpay and convenience-store collection agency. EC merchants can provide a variety of payment methods one-stop with GMO 1 社. ^•
• By performing credit judgment + invoice issuance + dunning / collection on the merchant’s behalf, it is a representative example of the PSP-type BNPL category, which adds a credit function on top of a pure PSP. ^•
• BtoC EC (especially mail-order・subscription EC) is the core segment.

3. Why this standalone page matters

Because the GMO Payment Gateway main page has card-payment PSP as its theme, placing the postpay business as a separate entity (GMO Postpay) on a standalone page makes the license boundary of PSP / postpay / convenience-store collection explicit.

4. Regulation / policy

• Payment Services Act adjacency: the boundary between collection-agency business / prepaid payment instruments tends to become complicated for PSP-type BNPL.
• Personal Information Protection Act: handling of credit data and EC purchase history.
