Driving Innovation To Shape Our Future
Financial services are at the cutting edge of innovation, and Nomura is undergoing a digital transformation to ensure we remain a leader.
Technology at Nomura supports our Investment Banking and Global Markets divisions. Our data-driven approach aims to create a sustainable, technology-powered organization that benefits both the bank and clients, and equips our workforce with the skills to fully harness the benefits of innovation.
Technology works with and designs cutting-edge information technology and risk management systems – tools that often provide us with a critical, split-second advantage over our competitors. The work spans from infrastructure support and deployment to the in-house development of complex modeling software and applications.
We focus on delivering global platforms and solutions that support growth, such as our blockchain platform for tokenized digital securities, and our leading custodial services for digital assets.
We also seek to enhance operational efficiency by standardizing, streamlining, and automating applications and tools, and by building a flexible client service system using cloud technology.
Safeguarding Nomura and our clients is paramount. We develop and deploy robust cybersecurity measures while maintaining seamless user experiences.
At the Nomura SRI Innovation Center in Silicon Valley and across our network, we continuously monitor new technologies to boost productivity and create valuable customer solutions. Our regular hackathons foster collaboration and showcase innovations such as generative AI.
