WHAT WE DO

Building an ecosystem
where
millions can buy and sell

It started with Japan’s largest C2C marketplace, which has since expanded into 100+ countries through cross-border sales from Japan. The fintech business forms the other half of the ecosystem, providing Mercari users multiple ways to use their earned balance to pay for things, even in cryptocurrencies starting in 2023.
