About C-Square

C-Square is one of very few licensed Japanese remittance operators and the only one providing technology-driven inbound and outbound payment solutions openly to the market. We connect international merchants, fintechs, and individuals to Japan's financial ecosystem with transparency and compliance.

C-Square was awarded its Type-1 Remittance Licence in June 2023 by Japan’s Finance Services Agency, permitting C-Square to handle transaction volumes exceeding 1 million JPY in value, the limitation of Japan’s Type-2 Remittance Licence. C-Square was both the first company in Japan to apply for the Type-1 Remittance Licence, and the first company in Japan to release a Type-1 Remittance Licence utilizing product on the Japanese market, Exparo Bix.

Type-1 Remittance License

Japan’s Type-1 Funds Transfer Service license allows approved non-bank operators to send and receive unlimited remittance amounts. For inbound flows, this means international funds sent by overseas partners can be delivered locally in yen to Japanese recipients through a regulated, trusted channel.

C-Square was the first company to apply for a Type-1 License and also the first company to introduce Type-1 licensed products to the Japan market, being awarded its Type-1 Licence in June 2023 by Japan’s Financial Services Agency, allowing the handling of transaction volumes exceeding 1 million JPY, beyond the limitations of Japan’s Type-2 license.



Who and Where are C-Square’s Clients?

We have established our own network through direct banking partnerships and Global MTOs through which we facilitate our own products’ transactions. These are servicing corporations and individuals in Japan who want to send large money transfer and payments overseas cheaply, quickly, and safely.

In addition to our own products, we have been rapidly growing partnerships with overseas MTOs, PSPs, as well as both online and offline payment systems looking to send money to or receive money from Japan as part of their payment or remittance solution.
