Current Status of SurFIN Implementation in Japan and Future Global Expansion
BIPROGY provides SurFIN to 40 financial institutions in Japan. The solution is highly regarded for streamlining operations involving complex payment rules and AML procedures.
At Sibos, we confirmed that strengthening AML measures for cross-border payments is a shared global challenge, with growing interest in AI- and data-driven approaches.
We received multiple inquiries about SurFIN and Trabotic from overseas financial institutions, particularly in the Middle East and Latin America, highlighting strong interest in our solutions.
Building on our experience in Japan, we will first expand SurFIN to overseas branches of Japanese banks, then use these deployments as a foundation for growth in Asia, Europe, and the Americas.
Together with Trabotic, scheduled for launch in December 2026, we aim to improve cross-border payment efficiency and strengthen AML measures for financial institutions worldwide.
