After a successful implementation in New York, the Japanese banking giant continues its phased roll-out of Oracle’s banking solutions
Mizuho Bank, Ltd., the integrated retail and corporate banking unit of Mizuho Financial Group and one of Japan’s largest financial services institutions, is modernizing its legacy banking system for international operations with Oracle. Over the coming years, Mizuho will implement Oracle’s banking solutions to support critical functions, including direct deposit accounts and liquidity management, at its operations in major overseas offices. The roll-out began with the successful replacement of Mizuho’s legacy banking system at its New York offices.
“When considering replacing our legacy banking system, we sought a partner with proven solutions and expertise in our market, to help us deliver greater value, faster,” said Takafumi Kawamura, General Manager of IT & Systems Control Department No2, Mizuho Bank. “We knew Oracle could deliver the security, scalability, and resilience required. Its functionally rich offering will enable us to quickly adapt to changes in the market and capitalize on new opportunities now and into the future.”
