Cool Fintech Project from Japan

About the Client

Our client is a fast-growing fintech company based in Tokyo. The company offers a real-time monthly consolidated credit service all across Japan, a so-called Buy Now Pay Later solution. Our client started Japan’s first instant post-pay credit service for eCommerce consumers in October 2014.

In 2022 our client appeared among the world’s Top 100 fintech companies according to the research of the FinTech Magazine — digital community for the Financial Technology industry.

The main product is an online payment app that doesn’t require the usage of credit cards and the pre-registration process. Instead, customers get the ability to buy products online with the help of phone numbers and email addresses (Buy Now Pay Later model). They also get a perk of using their funds during the whole month and then return the zero balance without paying accrued interest. The product also supports multi-pay installments and subscriptions.

There are currently over 1,500,000 accounts in use. This service got the largest investment in the Japanese financial tech industry, including PayPal Ventures investment.

Quotes from Developers

When I joined the project, I was pleasantly surprised how they care about the hygiene of their codebase. Thorough code reviews and functional programming approach results in readable and maintainable code which is very important as we read code significantly more often than we write it.

Artur Zhurat,
Scala developer

I enjoy working with the company because it has high coding standards, the engineers are very skilled and experienced, and the company has great growth potential. I also like the responsibility we have by working on such a big project with tens of thousands of consumers involved daily. It makes you think about your decisions, about the performance of the platform, about the impact on the consumers. This environment lets you grow as a specialist while also allowing for freedom of action and creativity: you are always welcomed to propose new solutions and try them out. People here are friendly and open to conversation, so there are no issues with miscommunication both inside the team and between teams.
