Long-established Credit Union Opens New Base at JAM BASE: Eiwa Shinkin Bank, Celebrating 95 Years in Osaka, Supports Corporate Fundraising and Problem Solving

Eiwa Shinkin Bank (Naniwa-ku, Osaka; President: Satoshi Kato), celebrating its 95th anniversary, will open a new office, "THE EIWA SHINKIN BANK JAM BASE Office," on April 3, 2026, at JAM BASE, an innovation facility in Umeda/Grand Green Osaka. Through the creation of new businesses and support for growing companies, the bank will promote regional revitalization. Eiwa Shinkin Bank has traditionally strived for regional revitalization through activities in areas surrounding its physical branches. However, with the diversification of corporate and business forms, the bank is establishing a new base at "Grand Green Osaka JAM BASE," a core facility for innovation where information and knowledge converge. It will launch its operations as an intellectual strategic hub that generates synergy through collaboration with tenants and public institutions, and matching with existing clients. From April 3, resident staff and area staff will rotate to visit tenant companies and surrounding businesses, and engage in new customer acquisition activities. The bank plans to build relationships with various organizations through participation in events and is also considering holding its own unique events. Eiwa Shinkin Bank opened "THE EIWA SHINKIN BANK Grand Front Osaka Office" in Grand Front Osaka Knowledge Capital last year (May 2025), and has already begun operations as a place for intellectual exchange and information sharing. With the opening of the JAM BASE office, the bank will further collaborate with the Grand Front office, aiming to establish a system that not only provides financial support but also assists in solving business challenges.
