Combining Square’s face-to-face payment capabilities, with their excellent design and usability, with our flexible and robust solutions in the non-face-to-face field, which we have cultivated over 30 years, we will support the next generation of commerce experiences that freely move between the real and digital worlds, and jointly create new value that lies beyond payments.”
Additionally, Stephen Adams, Japan head of Square, said: “At Square, our mission is to help make it easier for Japanese merchants to do business. As many businesses start selling online and expand their online stores in addition to in-person sales, bridging the gap between online and offline commerce is important. By combining our world-class digital payment technology with the online expertise of Sony Payment Services, we will enable even more merchants across Japan to seamlessly grow their businesses across in-person and non-face-to-face channels and continue to meet the evolving needs of their customers.”
