Picture the car of the future. Does it fly? Does it look like the one from that famous 80s movie?

Mercedes-Benz is known for its legacy, but innovation and legacy are not mutually exclusive—quite the contrary. Our mission is to empower innovation within one of the top luxury car brands worldwide, helping it continue to pioneer the automotive industry. To sum it up, we are the FinTech branch or knowledge hub for payments within Mercedes-Benz.
ABOUT MERCEDES PAY
Mercedes pay launched in its first market in 2018 and is now active in more than 40 countries on five continents, enabling transaction processing for Mercedes-Benz products and services. Depending on the market, Mercedes pay may act as the technical payment gateway for transaction processing from Mercedes me store, the Mercedes me app, in-car payments and may even support online vehicle sales. This is how Mercedes pay directly contributes to the mobility and digitalization strategy of Mercedes-Benz Group AG. Mercedes pay is a wholly owned subsidiary of Mercedes-Benz AG with offices in Berlin, Stuttgart, and Farmington Hills (USA).

2023 has already been a big year—we launched full online vehicle payments in the UK and introduced native in-car payments in Germany, an industry-first feature by which users can pay directly by fingerprint inside their car. That’s the car of the future we’re talking about!

OUR VALUES & HOW WE WORK
We are an inclusive, passionate, and diverse team of people. Being solution-oriented, agile, and dynamic is in our blood. We learn best by leaping into cold water from time to time, by doing rather than deliberating, and we trust in our teammates’ abilities & willingness to learn. We like to make things happen, and we’re more interested in finding solutions than sulking at inconveniences.

Since we are still building new processes alongside new products, new joiners have the opportunity to make as much impact as our most seasoned veterans. We really love a lively exchange of ideas, whether a teammate’s been with us fortwo days or ten years. And, frankly, fresh energy is always welcome.
