3rd Joint Seminar with Local Labor Consultant Office: 'People Thrive, Companies Prosper - Well-being Management in the Era of Digital Salary' for Aichi Prefecture Companies on April 23

Kort Valuta Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shibuya, Tokyo; CEO: Hideki Shibata; hereinafter 'the Company') is pleased to announce a joint seminar for business companies in Aichi Prefecture titled 'People Thrive, Companies Prosper - Well-being Management in the Era of Digital Salary' to be held on Thursday, April 23, 2026, in collaboration with Social Insurance Labor Consultant Corporation An-field (Location: Toyokawa, Aichi Prefecture; Representative Partner: Atsushi Kumagai; hereinafter 'An-field').

This seminar is organized by the Company, which operates 'TwooCa,' a service anticipating digital salary payments*. Aiming for nationwide expansion, the Company is collaborating with local labor consultant offices to provide well-being management support for companies in Aichi through the introduction of digital salary compliance and new forms of welfare benefits.

*The Company is currently preparing an application to be designated as a digital salary payment provider (designated fund transfer service provider).

Background In today's rapidly changing corporate environment, an increasing number of companies are focusing on improving employee engagement and health management for the purpose of strengthening recruitment and human capital management. On the other hand, there are frequent cases where information on the latest digital services and implementation know-how is lacking.

Under these circumstances, An-field, which has long responded to consultations regarding HR and labor for local companies, believed that strengthening human capital is essential for sustainable growth and value enhancement of companies, given the increasing number of companies prioritizing well-being management. This joint seminar was realized because the Company’s belief that collaboration with local experts is important for expanding 'TwooCa' matched An-field's desire to support well-being management.

Seminar Overview In addition to introducing examples of the Company's well-being management support, Siemple Co., Ltd. (hereinafter 'Siemple'), which provides management of digital crises (SNS flaming, information leaks, spread of rumors, etc.) to companies, and Life Create Co., Ltd. (hereinafter 'Life Create'), which excels in 'financial consulting' and 'hands-on management support' for SMEs, will also speak. Participants can gather the latest information on various management issues, from recent trends and countermeasures for digital risks directly linked to recruitment power to financial stories from the perspective of a former Shinkin bank branch manager on breaking through the 'wall of financing' and strengthening both cash flow and site operations.

Comments [Hideki Shibata, CEO of Kort Valuta Co., Ltd.] 'TwooCa is not just a tool for digital salary payment, but a platform that connects employees and companies, aiming for the well-being of people who work*. This collaboration with An-field, who has already implemented TwooCa, was realized from our desire for many companies to utilize it. Digitalization is by no means difficult. By collaborating with regional experts, we will create an environment where companies in Aichi can work on work-style reforms. I hope many business owners and HR/labor managers will participate and take this opportunity to think together about a future where people thrive and companies prosper.'

[Atsushi Kumagai, Representative Partner of Social Insurance Labor Consultant Corporation An-field] 'Amidst rising interest in human capital management and well-being management, I believe that SMEs, where the face of each employee is visible, have the strength to practice true well-being management. We at An-field have also introduced TwooCa and are actually experiencing the enrichment of welfare benefits and improvement in employee engagement. Therefore, we are pleased to be able to confidently deliver specific options to companies in Aichi together with Kort Valuta.'
