The story

JTI (Japan Tobacco International) is the international arm of Japan Tobacco Inc., operating across 130+ markets with approximately 46,000 employees. The company is primarily a consumer goods / tobacco manufacturer and distributor with no embedded finance products offered to end users. Its finance infrastructure is corporate treasury-focused: a 2024 SAP-based treasury transformation (OneTreasury) consolidated global cash management and FX operations across three treasury centres. Veriff is confirmed as a third-party identity verification vendor, likely used for age/identity verification purposes given JTI's regulated product portfolio.
