“We are excited to build on the strength of our relationship with KYODIA Remittance and support the institution’s expansion into B2B cross border payments in Japan,” said Haruhiko Ohashi, Head of Japan, Western Union Business Solutions. “We have worked closely to meet the needs of KYODAI Remittance and its customers, developing a bespoke solution that will integrate our platforms with their environment. We look forward to continued success working with KYODAI Remittance to support the growing international trade market.”
KYODAI Remittance has been providing C2C cross border payments through Western Union since 2019 but the revision of Japan’s Payment Services Act on 1st May 2021, which removed the JPY 1 million funds transfer services cap by non-bank institutions2, has enabled the financial institution to expand its B2B cross border payment services.
For organizations seeking a partner to optimize cross-border payments, Western Union Business Solutions equips them with the solutions they need to send, receive, and manage international payments. Our extensive global network, spanning 200 countries and territories combined with our local market knowledge, enables organizations of all sizes to manage international payments simply, effectively, and efficiently.
