Nanto Bank plans business digital services from September 2027
Nanto Bank is developing Nanto Biz, a digital service for businesses, with Japan IBM and a Money Forward subsidiary.
The service will bring business internet banking and other tools into one online portal.
Today, businesses often have to use separate systems for tasks such as internet banking and invoice management.
With Nanto Biz, business owners and accounting staff will be able to check balances and approve transfers on a smartphone while away from the office.
Some services are scheduled to start between September 2027 and March 2028 as the first phase.
A later phase will add functions such as requesting balance certificates and opening accounts.
The bank says better digital access will support its efforts to strengthen in-person sales and make more suitable proposals to business customers.
