Establishment of Fincross DIGITAL Co., Ltd.
Message from the Company
The digitization of the economy and society are rapidly progressing, impacting the management of banks in various ways. In this environment, executives with strong leadership have emerged at some regional banks, taking the trend of digitization positively and aggressively working to open up bright futures for their banks.
Having said that, there is great difficulty in tackling this issue alone, as there are many limitations including managerial resources such as human resources and costs, or the amount of customer data that can be utilized for big data analyses. This is why regional banks with the same aspirations gathered together to move forward in a collaborative effort.
We are a joint venture that has been established by seven regional banks (The Senshu Ikeda Bank, Ltd., The Gunma Bank, Ltd., The San-In Godo Bank, Ltd., Shikoku Bank, Ltd., The Chiba Kogyo Bank, Ltd., The Tsukuba Bank, Ltd., and The Fukui Bank, Ltd.) that share a grand vision and clear principles, and we also conduct secretariat operations for “Fincross PARTNERS”.
We will be providing to participating banks a digital infrastructure that will enable the timely provision of services that meet the needs of customers with ease of use, by effectively utilizing regionally dispersed big data that is owned by the participating banks, while adding the flavor of regional banks.
Additionally, with the business environment becoming even more challenging, we will provide pragmatic, effective digital solutions to the various issues that arise when banks strive to advance their operations and make them more efficient in order to reduce any excess and become leaner.
Going forward, the digitization of the economy and society is expected to accelerate even further, but we believe that the more this actually occurs, the more business opportunities there will be for regional banks. Let us react positively to these drastic changes and leverage the power of digital technology to pioneer a bright future for regional banks.
