Sell your technology to Japan’s financial services sector.
StrategyCore gives overseas AI, data engineering and cybersecurity vendors a Tokyo team to develop business with Japanese banks, securities firms, insurers, asset managers and payment providers. Our Japanese pre-sales team brings your engineers into discussions about transaction data, existing financial systems and security controls, while our local team develops prospects and channel relationships and leads Japanese proposals. Once a licence agreement is signed, we provide the agreed deployment and post-sales technical support through renewal.
// Financial systems
Financial data, system connections and security controls.
Fraud, risk and transaction analysis
For the proposed application, StrategyCore agrees the evaluation criteria with your engineers and the prospect’s team: transaction volumes, response times, accuracy and the records needed to investigate results.
Data location and access
Our engineers document processing, backups and remote access for the proposed configuration. The institution’s IT and security teams confirm its outsourcing, privacy and security requirements.
Connections to existing financial systems
Banking, trading, investment, insurance and payment systems use different interfaces and databases. Our engineers confirm supported connections, update frequency, source-system load and recovery with the prospect’s IT team.
Domain authentication
StrategyCore works with the institution’s email administrators to identify legitimate sending services and test SPF, DKIM and DMARC changes before enforcement.
Device and network security
The scope may include office and data-centre equipment, branch devices or ATMs. Our engineers check inventory records, model and firmware details so the prospect can assess the relevant vulnerabilities.
Records for internal assessment and audit
The institution’s risk, security and audit teams specify the evidence they need. StrategyCore helps document data sources, access and approvals, including model versions where AI is used.
// Products
Vendor solutions we sell and support for Japan’s financial institutions.
The products below address distinct parts of a financial institution’s systems: transaction analysis, database updates, AI infrastructure, device risk and domain authentication. StrategyCore works with your engineers to demonstrate the relevant function using data the prospect has authorised. We handle Japanese product discussions, proposals and licence negotiations, with the technical scope and support responsibilities agreed for that institution.
Transaction and financial-data analytics
StrategyCore demonstrates SingleStore using the prospect’s transaction, investment, policy or payment data, where authorised. Our engineers work with your team on SQL query performance, update frequency, permissions and operating requirements.
Data ingestion from financial systems
Our engineers plan SingleStore Flow ingestion from the financial systems in scope. We confirm source versions, permissions and processing locations, then arrange tests of batch transfers or supported CDC connections with your team and the prospect.
Streaming financial-system updates
For Striim evaluations, our engineers work with your team and the prospect’s IT staff to test supported database connections, update delay, source-system load and recovery using the financial records in scope.
Data and infrastructure for financial-sector AI
For a fraud, risk or document-analysis evaluation, StrategyCore brings your engineers together with the institution’s IT staff to demonstrate the data and infrastructure your product supplies. The evaluation records permitted data, supported connections, processing locations and the resources required by that workload.
Email authentication for financial institutions
Financial institutions may send account, payment and service messages through several providers. StrategyCore demonstrates Valimail with the email team to identify those senders and test authentication before changing DMARC policy. Any BIMI logo display remains subject to the receiving service’s requirements.
Financial-sector device risk
Branch devices, ATMs and data-centre equipment can be assessed only where the inventory identifies the relevant model and firmware. Our engineers demonstrate how DeviceTotal matches those records to vulnerability intelligence and flag missing details for the institution’s security team.
Resource forecasts and financial dashboards
For ProphetStor, our engineers help demonstrate resource forecasting on supported infrastructure. For Logi, we coordinate demonstrations of risk and operational dashboards with the prospect’s users, including access permissions and licensing.

Evidence for the institution’s risk and security teams.
The financial institution defines the evidence needed for its internal assessment. StrategyCore coordinates your product documentation with its procurement, IT, security and risk staff, covering financial-data processing, system connections, access and audit records. Those teams assess the proposed service against their requirements.
FISC Security Guidelines, 14th ed. (2026)
The de-facto security standard for financial-institution information systems in Japan.
FSA Cybersecurity Guidelines (2024)
Supervisory expectations for cybersecurity posture across the financial sector.
APPI: personal data transfers overseas
Cross-border transfer of personal data requires prior consent or a recognized adequacy or safeguard basis.
AI Guidelines for Business (METI and MIC, March 2026)
Reference the current guidelines for AI developer, provider and user responsibilities. Identify task risks, human oversight, monitoring and incident responsibilities for the proposed service.
Personal-data requirements depend on the information, purpose, recipient and transfer arrangements. Confirm the applicable APPI provisions and any EU-Japan supplementary rules for the specific deployment.
Additional controls for AI applications// AI applications
Examples to discuss with prospective buyers
Real-time fraud and AML
Fraud models can analyse transaction events and flag suspicious activity. An evaluation measures missed fraud, false alerts, response time and the handoff to the institution’s investigators.
Credit and risk models
Credit and risk models use the institution’s data to support underwriting or portfolio analysis. Tests need to record accuracy, input data and the information reviewers use to explain and check a result.
Japanese document intelligence
Document applications can extract and compare fields from Japanese KYC records, contracts and disclosures. We help evaluate the extraction quality, access permissions and processing locations for the complete application.
Customer-facing AI
Japanese-language assistants can support staff or customers in an application, branch or contact centre. Tests cover answer quality, permitted information and the point at which a person takes over.
Regulatory automation
Reporting applications can prepare information for regulatory and internal reports. The institution needs to review the output and trace each figure or conclusion to its source records.
Markets and research
Research tools can summarise filings and news for analysts. We help define which internal records the application can use, which services receive information and how users check the sources behind a summary.
