Singapore, 27 April 2026 – MUFG Bank, Ltd., the banking entity of Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Inc. (MUFG) announces the launch of “MUFG Unity”, a new and integrated transaction banking platform providing corporate clients with a unified and seamless cash management experience across Asia Pacific (APAC).

MUFG Unity leverages the collective strength of MUFG in APAC and its strategic partners in ASEAN — Bank of Ayudhya (Krungsri) in Thailand, VietinBank in Vietnam, Security Bank Corporation in the Philippines, and Bank Danamon in Indonesia (the “partner bank network”). It combines MUFG's global cash management and liquidity capabilities with the domestic payment and collection infrastructure of its regional partner bank network to deliver a single, seamless solution for payments, collections, and reporting across the region, and enabling clients to manage regional payments and collections more efficiently through a single MUFG relationship.

MUFG Unity embodies the bank’s ambition to provide clients with a simplified “One Bank, One Relationship” model. It allows companies operating across ASEAN to access local last-mile payment and collection capabilities, while benefiting from MUFG’s global and regional connectivity, controls and reporting standards. By harnessing host-to-host connectivity and the regional capabilities of the partner bank network, clients benefit from:

A single point of access for payments and collections across the region; Consolidated collections reporting in a unified format, covering both MUFG and partner bank transactions; and Availability to both new and existing MUFG or partner bank clients with ASEAN operations. Masahiro Matsumoto, senior fellow, global head of transaction banking, said: “MUFG Unity marks a major milestone in our Asia growth strategy. We have combined the power of our ASEAN partner bank network with MUFG’s global capabilities to offer clients a truly differentiated cash management solution. This is a testament to our relentless focus on innovation and our commitment to being the preferred house bank for our clients across the region.”

Belinda Han, head of transaction banking for APAC, added: “The launch of MUFG Unity demonstrates our deep understanding of the needs of our clients, who seek simplicity, speed, and comprehensive coverage. MUFG Unity delivers all three, empowering them to manage regional liquidity efficiently and confidently. I am proud of the cross-border collaboration that made this possible.”

“This platform is the result of one of MUFG’s most ambitious, cross-functional initiatives to date. With over 200 project members across nine countries, we have delivered a solution that brings together the best of MUFG and our partners. MUFG Unity positions us at the forefront of transaction banking innovation in Asia,” said Douglas Wood, head of transaction banking product for APAC.

As part of its mid-term business plan to focus on capturing growth opportunities, MUFG is committed to "enhancing the resilience of its Asian platform". Within the transaction banking business, MUFG aims to further broaden its solution offerings by leveraging its extensive network to become a global connector in the payments industry, linking businesses and markets across the world.
