Sumitomo Mitsui Card Co., Ltd. is a prominent Japanese financial services firm, which has now rolled out autonomous AI voice operators within their contact centers as one major step toward offering 24\/7 customer support and a generative AI-powered service ecosystem. The effort utilizes the “X-Ghost” AI voice response solution by Gen-AX Co., Ltd. and further concretizes a wider-ranging digital alliance that Sumitomo Mitsui Card forged with SoftBank Corp. back in May 2025.<\/p>

Sumitomo Mitsui Card’s contact centers handle over 500,000 customer inquiries per month, from card usage to fraud alerts. Maintaining high-quality, round-the-clock service traditionally required large teams and extensive training. By integrating Gen-AX’s autonomous AI, the company can now automate routine interactions, reduce operational pressure, and ensure consistent quality in responses throughout all touchpoints with customers.<\/p>
