Arsaga Partners Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Chairman and CTO: Yasuaki Omata; CEO: Jumpei Watanabe; hereinafter referred to as "Arsaga Partners"), which promotes DX for companies, announced on Monday, March 30, 2026, that it has signed a business partnership agreement with The Kumamoto Bank, Ltd. (Director and President: Toshihiro Sakamoto; hereinafter referred to as "Kumamoto Bank").
Background of the Partnership:
Since its establishment in 1929, Kumamoto Bank has been a financial institution that supports the growth of regional companies and contributes to the development of the regional economy. In recent years, as the business environment has rapidly changed, companies are required not only to improve operational efficiency but also to promote DX linked to business model transformation and management strategy. The number of issues that are difficult to solve with financial services alone has been increasing.
In light of this situation, the bank is promoting initiatives to strengthen management support utilizing digital technology and to boost DX promotion for companies.
Arsaga Partners, as a comprehensive firm originating in Japan, has worked with companies and local sites across the country while consistently handling everything from consulting to system development and operation. By establishing a nearshore development and operation system rooted in the region with bases in Kumamoto, Fukuoka, and Kagoshima, it aims to draw out the strengths of each land and company, and to make Japan as a whole better.
In Kumamoto in particular, based on its Kumamoto branch, which is a successor to "Frontier Vision" that has earned trust from regional companies and people for over 20 years, the company has expanded its business in response to continuous consultations and expectations from many companies. The number of companies and projects involved has been growing year by year, and in response to this growth and expectation, a second office was opened in 2025, establishing a system capable of handling more challenges. The history rooted in the local community and the expanding development system have a high affinity as partners to support the resolution of issues for regional companies.
It was determined that a comprehensive system to support the digitalization and operational improvement of regional companies could be built due to the alignment of the direction and regional stance of both companies, leading to this business partnership.
Details of the Partnership:
This partnership aims to establish a system that can provide comprehensive, hands-on support from both financial functions and DX promotion for the management issues and DX needs faced by companies primarily in the Kyushu region, centered around Kumamoto Prefecture.
By combining Kumamoto Bank's community-based network with Arsaga Partners' domestic development capabilities, technical skills, and design capabilities, multifaceted support will be realized, including improving corporate operational efficiency, launching new businesses, developing digital strategies, and fostering human resources.
Specifically, depending on the challenges faced by companies, both companies will collaborate in areas such as website production, marketing support, system development, operational improvement consulting, and BPO, advancing support that leverages their respective strengths. Furthermore, by utilizing Arsaga Partners' nearshore development system, which operates in Kumamoto, Fukuoka, and Kagoshima, they will strengthen DX support rooted in the region, contributing to the digitalization of Kumamoto and the entire Kyushu region, and enhancing corporate competitiveness.
Comments from Both Companies:
Mr. Hiroki Murakami, Deputy Manager, Solution Business Department, Kumamoto Bank:
"We believe this partnership is a great opportunity to provide more comprehensive support centered on DX for the management issues faced by regional companies. Amidst accelerating changes in the business environment, it is essential to build and execute DX strategies that lead not only to operational efficiency but also to business model reform and the creation of new value.
Arsaga Partners has continued to provide support rooted in the region, leveraging the knowledge of its predecessor organization, which has earned trust in Kumamoto for a long time, and its high technical capabilities. Through this partnership, we aim to more strongly support the growth of regional companies by combining the networks and DX promotion capabilities of our bank and Arsaga Partners."

"This partnership with Kumamoto Bank is a significant milestone for our Kumamoto branch.

In recent years, as the importance of DX response, including AI utilization, has increased for regional companies, we have been strengthening our system, such as opening a second office in 2025, to meet this demand as a company rooted in Kumamoto.
Through this partnership, we are confident that we can build a system that can more powerfully support corporate growth by combining Kumamoto Bank's strong regional network with our cultivated technical capabilities, design capabilities, and regional understanding.
