JCB Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Chairman and President: Takayoshi Futae; hereinafter 'JCB') has launched 'PayB for Business' on 'Cashmap,' a fund management and cash flow improvement portal for SMEs and sole proprietors, effective March 31, 2026.
[About Additional Features of 'Cashmap']
'Cashmap' is a fund management and cash flow improvement portal provided by JCB for SMEs and sole proprietors. It allows users to centrally manage multiple financial institution accounts and credit card information, providing a one-stop service from cash flow forecasting to improvement. Since its launch in March 2025, an online lending function was added in October 2025, allowing users to apply for loans based on automatically calculated terms derived from account information.
Now, we have added the 'PayB for Business' function as part of our business DX service lineup, enabling the payment of taxes and utility bills. With this function, users can scan QR codes or barcodes printed on payment slips and import them into 'Cashmap' to complete the payment procedure directly. This eliminates the need to visit bank counters, allows processing at the user's convenience, and supports bulk payments. Payments are made via internet banking, covering approximately 1,000 financial institutions nationwide.
Payment status and data are managed within 'Cashmap' and reflected in cash flow management, making centralized management even more convenient. This feature utilizes 'PayB for Business' provided by Billing System Corp. (President: Akihiro Ishizuka), and JCB is the first company to integrate this as a feature of its own service.
[Future Developments]
Cashmap plans to continue expanding its features in stages, with plans to launch invoice factoring and invoice issuance services around autumn 2026. This will increase options for cash flow improvement, including invoice card payments, lending, and factoring, enabling more tailored fund management. JCB will continue to address the challenges faced by SMEs and sole proprietors and contribute to their growth through these services.
