Yes, we’re on a mission to reshape the entire customer journey and make shopping simple, smart, and social.
Our ambition is to serve a new generation of consumers for the next several decades, as PayPal did 30 years ago.

This will empower consumers to make purchases effortlessly, track orders, receive fast refunds, enjoy personalized shopping experiences, and even engage in real-time shopping with friends. "Becoming the new standard of shopping for the next decades" isn’t just a tagline—it’s our commitment to the future.
