August 24, 2021
Resona Holdings, Inc.
Resona Holdings, Inc. (President: Masahiro Minami; hereinafter "Resona HD") hereby announces that it has signed an agreement with The Keiyo Bank, Ltd. (President: Toshiyuki Kumagai; hereinafter "Keiyo Bank") with regard to a strategic alliance (hereinafter the "Alliance") between the two companies.
1. Background and Objectives of the Alliance
Striving to realize "Retail No. 1," Resona HD is pursuing digital transformation (DX), rallying the entire Resona Group to integrate face-to-face and digital channels, restructure its business processes and otherwise align its modes of operation with the evolving needs of customers in light of changes in their day-to-day financial behavior. In order to contribute to the creation of a sustainable society, Resona HD is also flexibly seeking to form alliances free of capital relationships or system integration. By doing so, we are endeavoring to develop a co-creation platform that will allow us to establish "win-win" relationships between the Resona Group and its external partners, including those from different sectors as well as regional financial institutions.
Under these circumstances, Resona HD has signed a business alliance agreement with Keiyo Bank. Both companies possess solid operating foundations in the Tokyo metropolitan area, and the Alliance is intended to bring together their strengths in the retail business through the sharing of intelligence and know-how mainly in the digital fields. We expect that the Alliance will better position Resona HD and Keiyo Bank to meet the expectations of local customers and achieve sustainable growth.
Looking ahead, Resona HD and Keiyo Bank will deliver optimal solutions via a variety of financial services as independent financial institutions. We will strive to provide further convenience to local customers and help them improve productivity while securing greater corporate value for both companies.
