2. Business-segment map

Strength of the auto-loan axis

Jaccs has a member-merchant network of car dealerships (including used cars), and ranks at the top of the sales-finance industry through the in-store “loan proposal” flow. Education loans and renovation loans likewise follow a member-merchant model. This is the main battleground where it competes directly with orico.

Overseas strategy (ASEAN)

• Vietnam: full-scale entry from around 2014 年, motorcycle and home-appliance loans
• Cambodia: individual installments via a local subsidiary
• Indonesia: motorcycle and durable-consumer-goods loans

ASEAN is consistent with MUFG’s overall overseas strategy (Krungsri / Bank Danamon / VietinBank, see mufg). Jaccs carries the consumer-finance layer that complements the parent company’s banking network.
