TOKYO -- Bank of Japan Gov. Haruhiko Kuroda on Wednesday emphasized the potential growth that banks and fintech companies can spark if they work together, acknowledging the expanding role of financial services provided by companies outside the conventional banking industry.
"Companies need to realize innovations which would promote the creation of new products and the development of new markets," Kuroda told the Fin/Sum 2019 fintech summit in Tokyo, co-hosted by Nikkei and Japan's Financial Services Agency. Good services born out of collaboration between banks and fintech players would "bring new sources of growth."
