Net Protections, Inc. (headquartered in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Shin Shibata; “Net Protections”) is pleased to announce the establishment of a sales office in Nagoya, Aichi, as its sixth office in Japan. The new office will contribute to the revitalization of the region by stimulating economic activity through the provision of Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) services in the Tokai area and creating local employment opportunities by hiring staff.
Background and purpose of opening the Nagoya Office
東海エリアは製造業をはじめとした産業の集積エリアであり、東海４県（愛知県、岐阜県、静岡県、三重県） の県内総生産は全国の12.9％を占めています（※1）。当社が拠点を設ける愛知県は県民総生産が全国３位（※2）、製造業における出荷額は全国１位を誇っており（※3）同産業における中枢地域であると言えます。
また愛知県に本社を持つ機器メーカーなどにおける当社サービス実績があり、これまで導入企業様の財務改善や決済業務の効率化など決済業務のDXに貢献してまいりました。
これらの活動を通して、東海エリアは当社サービスのニーズが高く、地域創生に貢献しうる余地が大きいと判断し、国内６番目の営業拠点を設立いたしました。
While the elimination of labor shortages, the promotion of cashless services, and DX, have long been advocated, it is also important for companies in the manufacturing industry and companies with local factories to increase their business productivity with the use of digital technologies. As a first step, Net Protections will undertake all business-to-business payment processes and guarantee risk-free (nonpayment risk) transactions. By having companies in the Tokai area utilize its various BNPL services that promote cashless payment systems, Net Protections will contribute to improving convenience for companies and customers, streamlining invoicing operations, and promoting DX.
