Net Protections Ties Up With Sumitomo Mitsui Card to Expand B2B Payment Services

Net Protections Holdings, Inc. ( (JP:7383) ) just unveiled an update.

Net Protections Holdings’ subsidiary Net Protections has signed a memorandum of understanding for a business alliance with Sumitomo Mitsui Card Company to expand B2B payment services in Japan. The partnership combines Net Protections’ “NP Kakebarai” platform and credit-screening expertise with Sumitomo Mitsui Card’s corporate cards, e-commerce processing and other cashless solutions, targeting rising demand for digital and compliant billing infrastructure.

Under the alliance, Sumitomo Mitsui Card will promote NP Kakebarai to the SMBC Group’s extensive corporate client base, while both firms explore cross-selling Sumitomo Mitsui Card’s financial products to NP Kakebarai users and linking factoring and other payment products to Net Protections’ systems. The move is expected to deepen Net Protections’ access to large corporate customers, enhance its role in Japan’s B2B cashless ecosystem and create new value-added services, with only a minor impact on the company’s near-term financial results.
