Long-established Credit Union Opens New Base at JAM BASE, Supporting Businesses in Osaka as it Celebrates 95 Years of Founding

Eiwa Shinkin Bank (Naniwa-ku, Osaka; Chairman: Satoshi Kato), celebrating its 95th anniversary, will open a new base at JAM BASE, an innovation facility in Umeda, Grand Green Osaka, on April 3, 2026. The new office will be named "THE EIWA SHINKIN BANK JAM BASE Office" and aims to promote regional revitalization by fostering new business creation and supporting growing companies.

While Eiwa Shinkin Bank has strived for regional revitalization through activities in the vicinity of its physical branches, the business landscape and company structures have become increasingly diverse. To address this, the bank is establishing a new base at "Grand Green Osaka JAM BASE," a core facility for innovation where information and knowledge converge. This new base will operate as an intellectual strategic hub, generating synergy through collaboration with tenants and public institutions, and matching existing clients. Starting April 3rd, resident staff and rotating area staff will engage in visiting tenant companies and surrounding businesses, as well as new customer acquisition activities. The bank plans to build relationships with various organizations by participating in events and is also considering hosting its own unique events. Eiwa Shinkin Bank opened the "THE EIWA SHINKIN BANK Grand Front Osaka Office" at Grand Front Osaka Knowledge Capital last year (May 2025), which is already operational as a venue for intellectual exchange and information sharing. With the opening of the JAM BASE office, the bank will enhance collaboration with the Grand Front Osaka office, aiming to provide not only financial support but also assistance in resolving business challenges.
