Moreover, Moneythor’s extensive global experience is seen as a valuable asset, offering financial insights and best practices to further refine the bank’s digital banking offerings.

As a self-designated engagement banking group with significant assets, Chiba Bank has been implementing a mid-term plan since April last year. This plan focuses on evolving its customer-focused business model through personalized proposals, enhancing existing business models, and exploring new business areas. The bank aims to achieve these objectives by March 31, 2026.

Hideki Shibata, Executive Officer and General Manager of the Digital Strategies Unit at Chiba Bank, believes that the adoption of the Moneythor engine will empower customers with personalized insights and recommendations aligned with their interests. This initiative reflects the bank’s commitment to providing personalized, seamless, and engaging digital experiences, thereby fostering a sense of community among its customers and catering to their evolving digital needs.
