Fujitsu has announced a strategic partnership with FICO, a US-based data analytics company, to introduce FICO’s solutions to the Japanese market, with plans for expansion into additional financial sectors.
The collaboration will enhance decision-making and risk management capabilities for financial services firms in Japan using FICO’s advanced solutions.
Fujitsu will deliver FICO’s Omni-Channel Engagement Capabilities to Japanese financial institutions in July 2025.
The partnership aims to broaden the range of solutions available and explore further regional growth opportunities to aid the digital transformation of the financial industry.
By leveraging Fujitsu’s expertise in the financial sector and its technological prowess, the partnership seeks to accelerate the adoption of FICO’s services in Japan, enhancing user support and maintaining financial system stability.
Fujitsu will facilitate the deployment of FICO services, from consulting to full system implementation, while FICO will contribute its technical expertise.
Fujitsu EVP, corporate executive officer Masaru Yagi said: “This partnership between Fujitsu and FICO is a critical step in broadening digital transformation support for financial institutions.
“By combining Fujitsu’s technological know-how with FICO’s highly rated range of data analytics solutions, we will offer a new level of advanced services to the financial institutions of Japan.
“In the future, we will broaden the range of solutions and expand to other regions so that we can provide robust support for digital transformation in the financial sector.”
FICO Global Partners & Alliances vice president Alexandre Graff said: “Fujitsu’s deep industry expertise, trusted customer relationships and robust integration capabilities, combined with FICO’s advanced decisioning and analytics, create a powerful force for innovation in financial services.
“We’re excited about the opportunities this collaboration unlocks — enabling banks, card issuers and other FSIs in Japan to modernise customer engagement, enhance risk management, and accelerate growth. Together, we are delivering a future of smarter, more connected banking and payments.”
Last month, FICO collaborated with TransUnion Kenya to offer financial institutions in Kenya new credit risk solutions that improve access to credit.
