agreement on a strategic business alliance with its consolidated subsidiary Net Protections Inc. and JCB Co., Ltd. (JCB) in the corporate payment (B2B payment) domain. This collaboration is driven by the advancement of digitalization and cashless initiatives in domestic B2B transactions, as well as challenges related to remaining analog invoice processing and payment collection risks. Both companies aim to leverage their respective strengths in credit expertise, operational frameworks, extensive merchant networks, and payment solutions to establish a competitive advantage in the corporate payment market.\n\n### Specific Alliance Details and Future Outlook\nThe alliance includes (i) consideration and development of JCB-branded 'NP Corporate Cards' by the end of September 2027, (ii) establishment of a linkage scheme between Net Protections' 'NP Deferred Payment' and JCB card payments by the end of December 2027, and (iii) strengthening collaboration in corporate portal-related businesses. The impact of this matter on consolidated results for the fiscal year ending March 2026 is expected to be minimal, and appropriate information disclosures will be made according to future developments.","jir_financial_highlights":"Impact on consolidated results for the fiscal year ending March 2026: Minimal (Unknown)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#NetProtectionsHoldings, #StrategicBusinessAlliance, #CorporatePayments, #JCB, #B2BPayment","jir_key_figures":"Planned issuance of NP Corporate Cards: Consideration and development by the end of September 2027\nPlanned establishment of linkage scheme between NP Deferred Payment and card payments: Targeted realization by the end of December 2027\nImpact on consolidated results for the fiscal year ending March 2026: Minimal","jir_meta_title":"Net Protections and JCB Form Strategic Business Alliance to Launch NP Corporate Cards and Payment Integration in 2027","jir_meta_description":"Net Protections Holdings, together with its consolidated subsidiaries and JCB, has signed a basic agreement aiming to issue NP Corporate Cards by September 2027 and establish payment linkage schemes by December 2027.
