What ACOM does

Major Japanese consumer finance company offering unsecured personal loans, part of Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group.

Earns interest on unsecured personal loans at rates that Japanese law caps, so profit depends on credit losses and the cost of funds. Guarantee fees from banks that sell personal loans under its underwriting add a steadier line. Overseas units in Southeast Asia are a smaller extension. MUFG is the controlling shareholder.

In one line: Japan's consumer-lending equivalent of a subprime personal-loan lender.
