Seven Bank ATMs Expand to FamilyMart Stores Across Japan, June 02

FamilyMart began installing Seven Bank ATMs on June 1, 2026, starting with a store in Tokyo’s Minato Ward. The partnership will replace approximately 16,000 existing ATMs across FamilyMart locations by 2030. Once complete, Seven Bank will operate around 44,000 ATMs nationwide, surpassing Japan Post Bank as the nation’s largest ATM network operator.

How the Partnership Came Together

Seven Bank and FamilyMart’s parent company, Itochu Corporation, signed a basic agreement in September 2025. The formal ATM installation contract was finalized in March 2026. FamilyMart previously used ATMs from Japan Post Bank and E-Net, but those machines offered limited functions. The new partnership reflects Seven Bank’s strategy to expand beyond Seven-Eleven stores after becoming independent from Seven & i Holdings in June 2025.

What the New ATMs Offer Customers

The green-branded “FamilyMart ATM” provides standard cash withdrawal and deposit services. Users can charge cash to digital payment apps and e-money services directly at the machine. Seven Bank’s +Connect service allows account opening, address changes, and identity verification through facial recognition and My Number card scanning. The ATM design matches FamilyMart’s brand colors to help customers recognize the service. Customers can also receive government subsidies and complete bank-related procedures at the ATM.

Why This Matters for Seven Bank’s Growth

The 16,000-machine rollout will give Seven Bank a total ATM network of approximately 44,000 units, surpassing Japan Post Bank’s roughly 31,000 machines. The expansion taps into FamilyMart’s 16,400 store network and 30 million FamilyPay app users, creating new revenue streams from transaction fees and financial services. Seven Bank launched a campaign offering free ATM fees for new account holders who maintain a balance of 100,000 yen or more at month-end, qualifying them for unlimited free after-hours withdrawals.

Timeline and Scale of Rollout

FamilyMart plans to complete the installation across all stores within approximately four years, by 2030. The rollout began in Tokyo and will expand nationwide. FamilyMart President Tatsuo Odani called this “an important first step toward a new phase of growth” at the launch ceremony. Seven Bank President Matsuhashi Masaaki described the expansion as “a passing point” in the bank’s broader strategy to expand financial services beyond convenience store ATM networks.

Final Thoughts

Seven Bank’s expansion into FamilyMart marks a shift toward nationwide ATM dominance in Japan. With 44,000 machines planned by 2030, the bank gains direct access to millions of FamilyMart customers and new revenue from financial services.
