In today's fast-paced banking environment, the shift towards digitalization is no longer optional. Many financial institutions are racing to streamline their processes, particularly in account opening. On January 14, 2026, Showcase, a leading DX cloud service provider, will co-host a seminar with Spiral Inc., featuring a compelling case study from Toyokawa Shinkin Bank on their successful digital transformation journey.

The seminar aims to share invaluable insights on how Toyokawa Shinkin Bank has effectively transitioned its account opening procedures to an online format using Spiral’s low-code development platform, SPIRAL®, in conjunction with Showcase's online identity verification service, ProTech ID Checker.
