Jointly Promotes Development of Payment Infrastructure Business Platform and Next-Generation Fintech Business through the Integration of Management Resources
2022.02.10
ボンズカジノ登録方法, Inc. (TSE first section: 4819; HQ: Tokyo; Representative Director, President Executive Officer and Group CEO: Kaoru Hayashi; DG) and JCB Co., Ltd. (HQ: Tokyo; Chairman and CEO: Ichiro Hamakawa; JCB) have concluded a capital and business alliance agreement effective from February 10, 2022.
In recent years, consumers’ purchasing attitudes and needs have diversified, and new lifestyles that utilize digital technology, such as services and purchasing behavior that combine real and cyber environments, have become firmly established. Over the past 20 years since the dawn of the Internet, our payment business has been providing safe and secure payment infrastructure for both non-face-to-face and face-to-face settlements.
At present, DG Financial Technology (DGFT), a payment service provider and a subsidiary of DG, has grown to become a company designated as critical infrastructure, having 700,000 participating merchants in Japan that provide payment systems and handling approximately 3.3 trillion yen in annual transaction volume (as of September 30, 2021), and 600 million transactions per year. DG has become an essential infrastructure in payment and Fintech. JCB, Japan’s only international payment brand, has about 37 million merchants (as of September 30, 2021) and 140 million cardmembers worldwide. JCB handles about 34 trillion yen in annual transaction volume (as of September 30, 2021). The two companies agree to collaborate developing and providing new value-added services and Fintech technologies that will revitalize the consumption and convenience of these participating merchants and members, thereby contributing to the further enrichment of consumer life.
① Further expansion of the payment business through cooperation in payment infrastructure and acquiring merchants with cashless payments.
② Co-creation of new services for merchants and cardholders, including next-generation payment and Fintech marketing services.
③ Collaborative development of marketing business, and new business development and services in R&D, utilizing both companies’ development systems and customer bases.
※ The project details will be announced separately as soon as finalized.
JCB acquires 3% of DG’s total number of issued common stock shares.
“ボンズカジノ登録方法 is currently working on developing various value-added businesses related to the payment and data business under the Group strategy “DG FinTech Shift.” As a long-time partner of JCB, we have been leading the combination of Japan’s payment infrastructure and the Internet, such as the credit card payment business and JCN (JAPAN CARD NETWORK Co., Ltd), one of the largest card payment infrastructures in Japan that support credit card payment business, since the early days of the Internet. With the full-fledged opening of the Digital Agency, a variety of next-generation Fintech services connected to credit cards and Individual Number are being created. Through this capital and business alliance, we will contribute to the further development of DX in Japan by combining the data and next-generation Fintech technologies owned by both companies.” (DG Representative Director, President Executive Officer and Group CEO Kaoru Hayashi)
“JCB’s long-standing collaboration with ボンズカジノ登録方法 Group has been very successful throughout the years, primarily focusing in the payments business. We view this new capital and business alliance as an opportunity to further strengthen our existing partnership with DG. By organically connecting the respective assets of DG and JCB, our aim is to develop and deliver unrivaled services to our customers – in both the real and digital world, and in both marketing and technology domains.” (JCB Chairman and CEO Ichiro Hamakawa)
While the social and industrial structure is undergoing significant changes, DG promotes the Group strategy, “DG FinTech Shift,” that integrates payments and data to drive DX in Japan. Additionally, DG is applying the Group’s corporate management resources to Fintech business strategies, including introducing cashless services to portfolio startups and supporting advertising, CRM, and data marketing for merchants of payment services, and embedded finance*1 business with collaborating partners. Furthermore, as part of our accelerated expansion into the crypto asset field, Crypto Garage, Inc., a subsidiary of DG developing the blockchain financial business, has entered a capital and business alliance with Nomura Holdings, Inc.*2. DG also formed a capital and business alliance with Toshiba Tec Corporation*3 to strengthen our competitiveness in the retail market.
