Management Environment and Issues to Be Addressed

Management Issues

The business environment surrounding the Bank’s group is undergoing rapid changes, including soaring prices and rising interest rates both at home and abroad, diversification of payment methods due to the development of digital technology, the entry into the financial sector of businesses from other industries, and heightened awareness of environmental and social issues. The Group recognizes that there is a need for flexible management that is more than ever sensitive to changes in society and diversification of customer needs and rapidly incorporates the results of technological innovation.
In addition, social issues such as widening disparities and climate change are becoming more apparent and serious, leading to an era when businesses, as members of society, are required to face these issues more sincerely than ever before to seek solutions.

Medium- to Long-Term Management Strategies

“We shape the future of everyday life by seeing your wishes and going beyond” This is the purpose of the Group. Based on this purpose, Seven Bank will strive to achieve sustainable growth as a unique bank that is close to customers’ lives, offering convenience, reliability and trust.
We have formulated the Medium-Term Management Plan (FY2021 - FY2025), designating the five years through 2025 as a period to grow in a sustainable manner and to materialize the second phase of growth. Under the Medium- Term Management Plan, we will promote the following three basic measures.

Basic Measures

  • 1. Reform of the Group’s core ATM platform business and business diversification in strategic business fields through aggressive investment.
  • 2. Setting sustainability at the core of its long-term management strategy, the Group will contribute to addressing serious and emerging social issues through its business activities and continuously promote the creation of new value for both society and businesses.
  • 3. Promotion of corporate transformation in both businesses and operations as driving forces for sustainable growth.

Issues to Be Addressed

The Bank’s group sees changes in the business environment as opportunities for further reform and leap, and by addressing the following issues, the group will aim to realize sustainable growth and continue to be a company that is needed by customers and society.

<Domestic Business (Bank Business and Other) Segment>

ATM Platform Strategy

Although the ATM cash-based platform business, which has been the Bank’s core business thus far, is now at a major turning point due to the advancement of cashless payments and other developments, the Bank’s total annual number of ATM transactions has continued to increase due in part to a significant increase in the number of cash charge transactions for QR and bar-code settlement in addition to cash deposit and withdrawal transactions with financial institutions, which were historically handled by the Bank. Recognizing that changes in the settlement environment are opportunities for new ATM services, the Bank will continue its efforts to provide customers with secure and convenient services through ATMs as an important interface between non-virtual and virtual transactions even in the movement toward adopting digitalized and cashless payment systems.
As of the end of March, 2025, we have completed the installation of the fourth-generation ATMs, which we have been implementing since September 2019. The new service “+Connect” that enables procedures of financial institutions, etc. utilizing the newly implemented functions (personal authentication function, scanning function, etc.) of the fourth generation ATMs are now available at Seven Bank’s ATMs throughout Japan. In February 2025, as a further development of the “+Connect” service, we launched a new service called “FACE CASH,” which will enable customers to make cash deposits and withdrawals using a facial recognition function, offering a new financial experience to customers. The Bank will expand the number of “+Connect” partners and the services offered going forward, aiming to create a world where Seven Bank’s ATMs serve as a service platform for windows for various procedures and certification.

Retail Strategy

In the financial retail field, the competitive environment is intensifying due to changes in lifestyles and payment experiences caused by the advancement of cashless transactions, as well as the entry of non-financial companies into the financial business. Under such circumstances, the Bank will strengthen cooperation with the Seven & i Group and expand its efforts to develop and provide friendly and exceptional financial services unique to a bank that originated in a distribution group.
In addition, under the circumstances where foreign residents are increasing in Japan, the Bank’s group continues to contribute to the realization of a multi-cultural symbiosis by providing financial services that are easy for foreign residents to use, while leveraging our strengths, such as collaboration with overseas remittance service providers through Seven Bank International Money Transfer Service and Seven Bank ATMs, and cooperation with overseas group companies, aiming to create a society where all members can live comfortably.

Corporate Strategy
The Bank has strived to expand the services it provides for financial institutions and general businesses such as bankquality administrative skills, safe and secure fund management/fund transfer mechanisms, and high-security technologies including authentication, which are the Bank’s strengths accumulated since its founding. In recent years, the Bank has quickly adopted the evolving DX technology, and aims to expand the scale of business through collaboration with external companies.

<Credit Card and Electronic Money Business Segment>

Seven Card Service Co., Ltd., a consolidated subsidiary of the Bank, is a settlement service company of the Seven & i Group. It issues and operates “Seven Card Plus/Seven Card” and the electronic money “nanaco,” supporting customer convenience in their daily lives. Going forward, it will integrate its operations with Seven Bank’s financial retail business, integrate and expand the know-how and expertise that both companies have cultivated, and deepen collaboration with the Seven & i Group, thus continuing to provide financial services that are embedded in everyday lives.

<Overseas Business Segment>

In the United States, funding and operating costs are increasing due to high policy interest rates and rising inflation, but we are taking various cost reduction measures by working to optimize our ATM operations. In addition to the approximately 8,300 ATMs currently installed in 7-Eleven stores in the United States, the Bank has begun installing ATMs in approximately 3,000 Speedway stores, further strengthening its ATM network across the United States. Furthermore, the Bank will leverage this robust ATM network as a foundation to expand our collaboration with 7-Eleven, Inc. and provide unique financial services that combine retail and finance, aiming to strengthen our customer base in the U.S. market and diversify our business.
In Asia, we continue to aggressively install ATMs in Indonesia and the Philippines, and have grown to become one of the largest ATM operators in both countries.
The Bank has also started its ATM operation business in Malaysia since January 2025.
The Bank will continue to strengthen the development of ATM networks in each country and then, using ATMs as an introduction, strive to bring about multi-layered financial services.

Since its establishment, the Bank’s group has been working to solve social and environmental issues through its business activities. The group’s stance of always listening to and responding to the thoughts of customers will not change. The Bank’s group is committed to contributing to the prosperity of our society and the future of the Earth with the aim of achieving its purpose: “We shape the future of everyday life by seeing your wishes and going beyond.”
