Sony Bank CONNECT is an app with the theme of "Anyone can enjoy it easily and with peace of mind. Connecting to a wider range of moving experiences." It will provide a function to display and enjoy the NFTs you own by connecting to the NFT marketplace "SNFT" operated by SNFT.

Sony Bank CONNECT will continue to expand its functions after release in the future by incorporating user requests. In addition, the company is currently working on developing a blockchain-based wallet, and will proceed with requirement definition and design in preparation for the release.
