Introduction

Our Mission

Building trust for a seamless society.

We challenge ourselves daily to achieve this mission. Merpay's business started as a payment service, but that was just our first step towards achieving the mission we envision. We want to create a society where anyone can realize their dreams through a new ecosystem centered not only on this payment service, but on credit. Let's work together to update society's definition of "payment," "credit," and society itself.

Our Culture

To achieve our mission at Mercari, our organization and each of our employees share the same values and perspectives. Our individual guidelines for action are defined by our three values: Go Bold, All for One, and Be a Pro. Our organization is also shaped by our four foundations: Sustainability, Diversity & Inclusion, Trust & Openness, and Well-being for Performance. Regardless of how big Mercari gets, the culture will remain essential to achieving our mission and something we want to preserve throughout our organization.

We invite you to read the “Mercari Culture Doc,” which summarizes the behaviors and mindset shared by Mercari and its employees. We continue to build an environment where all of our members of diverse backgrounds are accepted and recognized, and where they can thrive while holding dear Mercari’s culture.
