SECURE Enters Business Alliance with Mizuho Leasing to Launch 'Leasing with Property Maintenance' for Corporate Clients Using a Simplified Screening Model

SECURE Inc. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Tatsunari Taniguchi; Securities Code: 4264; hereinafter "SECURE"), a provider of business solutions that solve corporate challenges through "AI (image analysis) x Security," has partnered with Mizuho Leasing Company, Limited (Headquarters: Toranomon, Minato-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Akira Nakamura; Securities Code: 8425; hereinafter "Mizuho Leasing"). Starting at the end of February 2026, the companies began offering "Leasing with Property Maintenance" for surveillance camera systems and access control systems provided by SECURE, utilizing a simplified screening model.

This partnership aims to significantly streamline the screening and approval process for lease agreements by integrating Mizuho Leasing's TSU・NA・GU Portal system with SECURE's sales and proposal workflow.

Overview Previously, when SECURE requested credit checks and screening from leasing companies, the evaluation process typically took 3 to 7 business days. Through this collaboration, screening results can now generally be provided by the next business day, significantly shortening the lead time until the lease is implemented.

By providing this service, SECURE aims to strengthen its business foundation in the following areas: - Lowering the barrier to adoption by reducing the burden of initial investment. - Creating continuous revenue opportunities through a lease model that includes maintenance. - Improving sales productivity by streamlining the order-taking process.

Through these efforts, the company aims to expand its customer base and increase the lifetime value (LTV) per customer.

Furthermore, Mizuho Leasing will leverage its expertise in physical assets, deep understanding of commercial distribution, and advanced financial know-how to provide a wide range of financial and business services, supporting the resolution of challenges within the security industry.

SECURE will continue to work with financial institutions to create new value by combining finance and security, contributing to the business growth of even more customers.
