Fukuoka Financial Group (FFG) and its digital bank, Minnano Bank, have teamed up with LiNKX Inc. This startup focuses on next-gen banking systems. As part of this collaboration, FFG’s traditional banking arm, The Bank of Fukuoka, has also invested in LiNKX. This alliance builds on past work between LiNKX and Zero Bank Design Factory, FFG’s system development arm.
The partnership will boost FFG’s digital infrastructure. It will do this by bringing in LiNKX’s advanced tech skills across different areas of the group. Key areas of collaboration include modernizing system infrastructure for FFG-affiliated banks, expanding Minnano Bank’s Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS) platform, and accelerating technology adoption across the organization.
