We will contribute to the development of a sound and affluent economic society through the provision of highly reliable services of superb quality, with the full awareness of the public nature of our missions as a consumer credit information bureau.

JICC supports the consumer credit industry by serving as the “credence” that links the consumers with the member companies, such as credit and loan companies, through the business of collecting the latest and most accurate credit information, including the details of contracts concerning credit transactions between consumers and member companies, as well as providing and managing said information.

Credit cards and loans have become an increasingly more familiar and convenient part of our lives than ever before in recent years, and various services have come to be provided based on the "credence" of consumers themselves.

JICC has been evolving and diversifying ever since its establishment in 1986, all the while maintaining the balance between the protection of privacy and the use of credit information in order to allow credit and loan companies to provide services appropriate for the credit level of each consumer.

Thanks to the support of many, JICC has been able to establish foundations as the largest credit information bureau in Japan, with the balance pertaining to registered credit information totaling more than 110 trillion yen.

Additionally, JICC is now expected to play an even more significant role as an infrastructure of the consumer credit industry, due to the designation in March 2010 as a designated credit information bureau pursuant to the Moneylending Control Act.

In accordance with our management philosophy of contributing “to the development of a sound and affluent economic society through the provision of highly reliable services of superb quality, with the full awareness of the public nature of our missions as a consumer credit information bureau,” we will take your comments and requests to heart in our efforts to ensure privacy protection, accuracy, and recency with regard to credit information, as well as reinforce corporate governance, while also working on enhancing our services further.

Your continued support would be greatly appreciated.
