[Background of the Initiative]
As of 2024, the rate of corporate website ownership has reached 93.2% (*3), making websites an essential tool for sales activities and customer engagement. In addition, email—now the primary means of business communication—requires the use of email addresses that include the company name to ensure credibility with recipients.
To address this, GMO Aozora Net Bank and GMO Internet have partnered to provide both corporate bank account opening and the setup of websites and email addresses—essential elements when establishing a company—thereby reducing initial costs and contributing to a faster business launch.
Starting with this initiative, both companies will continue to strongly support newly established corporate customers in building financial and IT infrastructures.
