……
We would like to express our deepest sympathies to everyone affected by Typhoon No. 10 of 2020.
On September 2nd, Trust Bank Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director: Kenichi Kawamura, hereinafter referred to as “Trust Bank”), which plans and operates Japan’s largest hometown tax donation comprehensive site “Furusato Choice” The “Furusato Choice Disaster Relief” (https://www.furusato-tax.jp/saigai/) system allows donations to be made to support disaster-affected local governments. We have opened an emergency donation application form. With Furusato Choice Disaster Relief, there is no thank-you gift from the local government, and the donations are used for recovery and reconstruction of the disaster-stricken areas.

.
In addition, we have created a system for ``proxy donation,'' in which local governments other than the areas affected by the Kumamoto Earthquake take on the responsibility of accepting donations. Local governments affected by the disaster will be able to reduce their operational burden and free up personnel to ensure the safety of residents.

The site has grown to become one of the largest hometown tax donation sites in Japan, with over 1,700 local governments (as of March 2014), approximately 95% of the total, and the number of thank-you items available over 570,000 (as of March 2014). In November 2018, we formed a group with Change Co., Ltd. (currently Change Holdings Co., Ltd.) on the TSE Prime Market and entered the public tech business. In September 2019, we released “LoGo Chat”, a business chat for local governments, and in March 2020, we released “LoGo Form”, a no-code electronic application tool. In October 2013, we launched the e-commerce site “Meibutsu Choice,” which sells local Meibutsu. In addition, we are developing a local currency business that promotes local economic circulation, and an energy business that promotes local production and local consumption of renewable energy. *No. 1 in number of local governments that can apply, No. 1 in number of thank you items posted (as of September 2023, JMRO research)
