The management system will be renewed.
President Tatsufumi Sakai and his colleagues hold a press conference from 9 pm on the 26th to explain a series of problems.
At the beginning, President Tatsufumi Sakai apologizes
Tatsufumi Sakai, president of the holding company that holds the group that has decided to resign responsibly, said, "We are deeply concerned with our customers and all concerned regarding the fact that such a situation has occurred due to a series of system failures. We apologize for the inconvenience. "
In addition, President Sakai said that the responsibility of the management team was severely pointed out by the Financial Services Agency. We take it very seriously and reflect on the fact that we were unable to do so and were pointed out that the reliability of Japan's payment system was impaired. "
He added, "We have received very strict comments about the corporate culture, such as system risks and expertise, and understanding the actual situation of IT sites, and we believe that these are essentially all management issues." ..
