Is that a credit card in your pocket or are you just happy to see me? POCKET CARD hopes it's the former. The Tokyo-based financial services company provides credit cards, smart cards, loans, leasing, life insurance, and travel services to customers through roughly 200 automated terminals and staffed locations across Japan. The company sells its services through former parent MYCAL Group's SATY and VIVRE fashion and food stores, but is rapidly expanding via non-MYCAL outlets. The company's credit cards are accepted at MasterCard locations in Japan and abroad. Sanyo Shinpan Finance Co. owns more than 50% of POCKET CARD's common stock; ITOCHU Finance Corp. is its second largest shareholder.
