Digital Strategy

Partnership and Acquisition Strategy

  • Goldman Sachs Partnership (former Sumitomo Bank era to present): During financial crisis, reversed to SMFG issuing GS preferred shares (1503 億円, annual dividend rate 4.5% guaranteed for 25 years, ordinary share conversion provision, GS investment operation loss 21 億 dollar credit enhancement, SMFG purchases GS bonds 13 億 dollar) •
  • Citigroup (from 2009-05~): Acquired Nikko Cordial Securities → SMBC Nikko Securities
  • SBI HD “SMBC-SBI Alliance” (from 2022~) ★: Comprehensive capital and business alliance
    • SMFG holds 8.91% of SBI HD shares (2025-07-17 current)
    • Investment participation in the SBI HD-led “No. 4 Megabank Concept” (SBI Shinsei Bank + regional bank alliance)
    • Olive Consulting (established 2025-09-05, 5 社 joint venture) → 2026-05-26 asset management service for Olive Infinite launch
    • SBI Shinsei Bank is SBI HD subsidiary (not SMFG direct)
    • Note: Structure differs from NDFG-SSNB relationship (NDFG = NTT DoCoMo direct TOB acquisition, SBI HD withdrawal)
  • Jefferies Partnership (2025-09-19) ★: Investment banking business integration
  • NTT DoCoMo (2005-04 / 7-11): Sumitomo Mitsui Card × Osaifu Keitai capital and business alliance → later share divestment
  • Orix, Itochu, Sumitomo Corporation: JV networks in SMFL / Sumitomo Mitsui Auto Service, etc.
  • Financial Services Agency Administrative Action (2022-10): Public notice to SMFG / SMBC Nikko Securities → governance questions remain
