Company Name and Opening Time of Electronic Monetary Claims Recording Institution Decided

On September 24, JBA decided to name the new electronic monetary claims recording institution, for which we have been holding discussions, “Zengin Electronic Monetary Claims Network, Ltd.,” or “Densai Net” for short. We also decided to target its opening for May 2012.

Going forward, we plan to carry out activities to disseminate and promote this to users and related associations, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises.
