XNET

What XNET does

XNET Corporation (株式会社エックスネット, TYO: 4762) is a Tokyo-headquartered, publicly listed Japanese financial technology company founded in 1990 that specializes in application outsourcing and proprietary financial management software for financial institutions. The company's core product is the 'XNET Service', a proprietary command-based platform of approximately 3,500 commands that supports securities management, corporate loan management, variable insurance unit price management, IFRS management, stewardship solutions, and trust data disclosure for insurance companies, banks, asset management companies, and general business corporations in Japan. Named customers include Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking, Nippon Life, Meiji Yasuda Life, Dai-ichi Life, Sony Life, Sompo Japan Insurance, Tokio Marine Anshin Life, Daido Life, and a growing base of regional banks (Hokuyo, Ryukyu, Tsukuba, Tohoku, Shichijushichi, Mito Shinkin).

The company's business model combines recurring managed services (application outsourcing, XNET-BPO services, SO services) with subscription/maintenance of its proprietary software. Revenue is generated through direct enterprise B2B sales to financial institutions with quotation-based pricing, supported by a 208-employee organization (as of end of FY2025, March 2025) operating from a Shinjuku headquarters and a Sapporo regional office. XNET maintains a long-standing strategic partnership with NTT Data Financial Solutions (since April 2014) and has lighter historical AI partnerships with HEROZ and Refinitiv (2019). Its product roadmap has expanded in 2025-2026 with releases including T-Wave execution analytics, the Smart Alternative Data Feed, and direct-connection integrations with OmegaFS and CONNEQTOR, alongside the May 2026 registration for Investment Management Business Entrustment (投資運用関係業務受託業) and the June 2026 launch of a new medium-term management plan, 'Next STEP 2029'.
