Hi everyone. Thank you for this wonderful opportunity.
I know that for a long time in Japan we’ve been perceived as just a online payment service for buying something internationally and it is true that our global footprint is one of the key strength, but in reality we are two things: for consumers we are a digital wallet optimized for online & mobile experiences allowing them to transact safely & securely with the convenience of using just an ID and Password to shop for things.
For merchants, as we have been promoting this past year here in Japan is our ability to help small and medium businesses or SMBs, and startups to go from not only “zero to one” but to millions through our smb friendly products and services. I wont go into the details but these are our core values and it is exactly why we are considered to be the global standard in e-commerce with 162 Million people and businesses around the world are using PayPal to not only pay but to accept payments.
But before we go any further I would like to start from the very first step on who we are and what we do best.
