Netflix is one of the world's largest video distribution services, available in 190 countries. It offers a wide variety of content, from popular Japanese dramas and movies to foreign films and documentaries, as well as original content.
Netflix is available on a monthly basis, and you can choose a price plan that meets your various needs. This article explains the payment methods compatible with Netflix.
Payment Methods for Netflix Fees
As mentioned earlier, Netflix is a monthly subscription service, and to be more specific, the plans differ in three aspects: price, picture quality, and the number of devices that can be watched simultaneously. 990 yen and up to 1980 yen. The renewal date is the month following the registration date. More details can be found on the official website, but currently supported payment methods are as follows
Cash card payment
Netflix supports three types of cash cards: credit card, debit card, and prepaid card.
The companies that accept credit and debit cards are
- VISA
- Mastercard
- American Express
- Diners Club
- JCB
For credit cards, the card company will charge you the fee in the following month, and for debit cards, the fee will be deducted from your account balance at the time of use.
Virtual Card (Bundled Card)
A virtual card is an online payment method that can be used only over the Internet. No plastic cards are issued, and most of them are prepaid cards that can be used by charging cash from ATMs or banks. In the case of Netflix, you can also pay by recharging your account.
Netflix Prepaid
Netflix Prepaid is a prepaid card that can be used to pay for the service and can be given as a gift to friends and family. In other words, it is perhaps the easiest way to pay, just like an iTunes card or Amazon gift card.
These can be purchased at online stores, convenience stores, and mass retailers like Bic Camera.
Mobile Wallet
PayPay is currently the only mobile wallet available for Netflix; you will need to link your Netflix account to PayPay, but it will automatically pay your bill each month. Be careful with your balance, however.
PayPay can be charged to your bank account, convenience store, or ATM.
Partner Billing
This is a method of payment through a mobile or Internet service provider that has a partnership with Netflix.
The following four partners are supported.
- KDDI (au)
- Softbank (Japan)
- J:COM
- Japan Cable Television operators
The following rate plans are also available as packages.
- Commufa Hikari / CTC Package
