Operating the Largest Number of Currency Exchange Machines in Japan, with Increased Usage Post-COVID
ActPro launched the SMART EXCHANGE business in June 2016. As of January 2024, the company operates over 500 machines domestically and internationally, boasting the number one market share in Japan and are globally recognized.
During the challenging times of the COVID-19 pandemic, when overseas travel became difficult and many manned currency exchange offices closed, the advantages of unmanned operation gained attention.
The pandemic increased the demand for unmanned machines due to travel restrictions and closures of manned exchange offices.

Forrester: Three Years Into GenAI, Enterprises Are Still Chasing Its True Transformative Value2.4.2026 16:00:00 CEST | Press Release
