DGDV's Investment in Jamm: A Step Toward Seamless AtoA Payments
In a significant move for the financial technology landscape, DG Daiwa Ventures (DGDV) has recently announced its investment in Jamm, a Tokyo-based company specializing in Account-to-Account (AtoA) payment solutions. This investment comes during Jamm's seed funding round, which totals approximately 500 million yen, alongside partners such as X Tech Ventures and ANRI.
Revolutionizing Payment Experiences
Jamm's AtoA payment service is changing how consumers and businesses handle transactions. By allowing direct online payments from bank accounts without the need for wallets or pre-loaded charges, Jamm streamlines the user experience. Registration takes less than three minutes, and payments are processed swiftly, showcasing a smooth user interface designed to facilitate seamless transactions.
Currently, Jamm has established connections with over 300 banks, including major players like Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, MUFG Bank, and Mizuho Bank. This extensive partnership covers a broad spectrum of financial institutions such as regional banks, credit unions, and labor banks across Japan. Furthermore, Jamm implements a dual verification process in compliance with recent anti-money laundering regulations, ensuring a high level of security for its users.
The global push for open banking has led to decreased regulations on bank data integration, significantly enhancing the growth of AtoA payment services in many countries, particularly in creating numerous unicorns. As the demand for easy and secure interbank transactions escalates in Japan, Jamm's innovative digital cash payment solutions are poised to provide considerable convenience and cost savings for both consumers and e-commerce operators.
DGDV's Commitment to Jamm's Growth
DGDV views Jamm as a transformative infrastructure that can significantly improve the payment experience for consumers and businesses, aiming to establish a new standard in the market. The firm remains committed to supporting Jamm in expanding its network of partnerships with financial institutions and broadening its merchant network. The goal is to solidify Jamm's position as a leading player in the domestic AtoA payment market.
Additionally, an exciting event is on the horizon. DGDV and Jamm will co-host a startup CxO networking event on July 3, 2025, in Kyoto as part of the IVS 2025 side events. This gathering aims to foster connections among startup leaders and promote collaboration within the industry. Further details and registration information are available in the event overview.
