Infcurion Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director, President and CEO: Hiroki Maruyama; hereinafter 'Infcurion') celebrated its 20th anniversary on May 1, 2026. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all our stakeholders, including our clients, partner companies, shareholders, employees, and their families, who have walked with us on this journey.
With the mission to 'make yesterday's impossibilities possible through payments,' our company has been dedicated to service innovation in the payment and financial sectors for the past 20 years, even before terms like 'cashless' and 'Fintech' became common.
Over these two decades, our unwavering commitment to the payment and financial sectors stems from our conviction that 'payments are the starting point for rewriting social infrastructure.' The flow of money is the nexus of all economic activities, and modernizing and flexibly rebuilding this system directly leads to the creation of new businesses and the smarter evolution of people's lives.
The evolution of 'Embedded Finance,' which integrates financial functions into all industries, and the modernization of financial institutions' legacy systems supporting it, continue to transform financial services into an 'as natural as air' presence for consumers. By deeply embedding financial functions, which previously existed as independent procedures, into daily life flows, service experiences, and corporate activities, users can seamlessly enjoy their convenience without being conscious of complex processes.
To commemorate our 20th anniversary, we are launching today a special website featuring '20th Anniversary Infographics' that trace our company's journey alongside the history of Japan's payment and financial digitalization, our product evolution, and articles by our chief analyst. The special website will also sequentially release interview content with key persons from leading companies in various fields.

■ Comment from Representative Director, President and CEO Hiroki Maruyama
Thanks to your support, our company has reached its 20th anniversary. We consider last year's listing and this 20th anniversary milestone as merely a waypoint. We express our sincere gratitude to everyone who has supported us to this day.
There are still many structural challenges in the payment sector, and our challenge is still halfway. As a 'payment enabler' supporting all industries, we will continue to aim for the realization of a richer and smarter society by enabling the creation of new business models and value that were previously impossible.
Viewing this milestone as a 'second founding,' all members of Infcurion will redouble their passion and strive to update social infrastructure. We kindly ask for your continued support and, at times, your strict guidance and encouragement in our endeavors. Twenty years ago, we founded the company with the desire to 'change the future with payments,' feeling both the potential of payments and the limitations of existing frameworks. At that time, the term 'cashless' was not even common, but through industry-wide dialogue and transformation, such as the rise of Fintech around 2015 and the advancement of API integration, our vision is now bearing fruit as a 'mechanism that moves society.' We are convinced that the digitalization of the payment and financial sectors is not merely a pursuit of convenience but a key to unlocking the potential of all industries.
Our company has been tackling structural challenges in the payment and financial sectors by providing modern and flexible next-generation payment infrastructure. Currently, we are further expanding our scope to include the transformation of B2B payments, which still have analog areas, and the utilization of the latest AI, promoting further value creation. We aim to support all businesses.
