Since our founding in April 1985 as the first group company established following the privatization of NTT, NTT FINANCE has grown as a financial company within the NTT Group by offering a comprehensive suite of services. These include the Billing Business, which handles billing and collection operations; the Billing Solutions Business, providing cloud payment services; the Credit Card Business; and the Financial Services Business, which encompasses finance and accounting.

In recent years, rapid digitalization driven by technological innovation and major shifts in the global economy have reshaped the roles, expectations, and requirements of corporations, including an intensified focus on ESG management. Furthermore, the increased mobility of talent and the proliferation of remote work options have diversified employee values and working styles. In response, we have strategically adjusted our business domains, including transferring our leasing operations to NTT TC Leasing and acquiring the accounting business from NTT BUSINESS ASSOCIE.

This era of significant change has prompted us to redefine our corporate purpose and mission and to operate our business under shared values to ensure our ongoing contribution to society. Consequently, we have established a new corporate purpose:

"Leveraging 'trust' to support society and create a prosperous future."

These words embody our determination: by leveraging "trust"—our enduring strength that we must continue to uphold—as our driving force, we seek to support the broader society through the NTT Group and our group business activities, while also contributing to the realization of well-being with our customers and to the sustainability of our planet.

In accordance with this purpose, each of our employees draws on our extensive experience and knowledge in payments and financial services and will commit to addressing our customers' and society's challenges with professionalism and integrity.
