MUFG Bank and JCB, a Japanese international payment brand, have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) regarding a comprehensive strategic alliance in the ASEAN region.
The alliance intends to use both companies’ financial and payment networks and customer bases to jointly drive business expansion and create new value across ASEAN, the firms say.
MUFG Bank’s partner bank network, investments in digital businesses, and financial infrastructure will be combined with JCB’s global payment network.
By integrating these capabilities with financial services, such as deposits and investments, the two companies aim to create value in affluent customer segments and digital payment areas.
Both companies will explore collaboration between MUFG’s investees in the digital finance sector and JCB’s payment capabilities.
Through these efforts, the firms will consider expanding cross-border payment solutions and mobile services, with the aim of accelerating the development of digital payment ecosystems in ASEAN.
