Message from the President

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to everyone for the ongoing support given to the Chiba Bank Group.

The social structure and economic environment are drastically changing against a background of rising prices, a growing labor shortage, and fluctuating global conditions, as well as digitization and an increasing awareness of climate change issues. In addition, the Chiba Bank Group has encountered a major turning point with interest rates expected to rise as a result of a significant review of the Bank of Japan’s long-standing monetary easing policy.

As the issues faced by regional customers become increasingly diverse and complex, the Chiba Bank Group aims to realize its Purpose: “to create a local community better suited to bringing each person’s hope to life” and Vision: “an Engagement Bank Group that works closely with the community”. We will create a bright future in which the wishes of all stakeholders can be fulfilled by providing functional value centered on financial services, as well as social value that contributes to addressing social issues through various initiatives, including the promotion of community-wide DX and GX.

This fiscal year is the final year of the 15th Mid-term Plan “Engagement Bank Group – Phase 1–,” which started in April 2023. By steadily working toward the creation of the optimal customer experience using DX and AI as a means of innovation, we will realize a guiding principal of the plan: “the evolution of the customer-focused business model”. We aim to become a Bank Group that seeks to keep growing together along with the entire region by providing proposals to meet various needs as a "General Consultant on Money" for individual customers and by supporting projects as an "Advisor to Management" for corporate customers.

We sincerely appreciate your ongoing support.
