About the team
In line with Bytedance’s globalization plans, there has been an increasing demand for payment services and financial services such as BNPL to: (1) enhance and support our current business needs; and (2) increase our service offerings to the end user. As such, the need for payment services has gradually increased in our overseas business development strategy. Whether it’s paying money to creators/users to encourage aggressive user growth, or offering paid services to users, payments have become an important step in our integrated service offerings.
In order to facilitate and provide such services, Global Payments ("GP") was set up. GP is supported by a group of payments licensed entities which are subsidiaries under Bytedance Ltd.
