2 Regional Banks in Japan Japan s Financial System There are three types of financial institutions in Japan: the central bank (Bank of Japan), private financial institutions, and public financial institutions. Private financial institutions can be divided into two main types, namely, institutions that accept deposits and others. In addition, institutions that accept deposits can be further broken down into banks, cooperative financial institutions, and the federations of cooperative financial institutions. Regional banks are banks licensed under the Banking Law, as are city banks and member banks of the Second Association of Regional Banks (most of which were mutual banks and have been registered as banks since 1989), and play a main role as commercial banks in Japan. Whereas city banks offer banking services to relatively many large corporate customers, regional banks (and member banks of the Second Association of Regional banks) focus their business mainly on retail banking. (See diagram: Breakdown of Financial Institutions in Japan) Current Situation and Characteristics of Regional Banks Current Situation of Regional Banks As of March 31, 2008, there are 64 regional banks. Headquarters for regional banks are located in major and mid-size cities throughout the country, around which they have built major business bases. The majority of their loan customers, more than 80 percent, are local small and medium-sized companies and consumers. As for deposits, individual deposits account for approximately 70 percent of all the deposits. Characteristics of Regional Banks Main Financial Institution in Their Regions Regional banks have branch networks around their headquarters, and they function as the main financial service providers in the regions. Not only accepting deposits and financing, but also they are providing payment services to their customers through nationwide networks for ATMs and fund transfer. In addition, to meet the customers diversifying financial needs, they are offering securities services _ such as retail sales of government bonds and mutual funds _ and international services. They have also started to provide some insurance products and financial instruments intermediary services in line with recent progress of deregulation conducted by Japanese government. Regional Involvement Regional banks are making every effort to keep credit opportunities available constantly in the regions, and they are involved in numerous local community projects including sending their staffs, as well as joining volunteer activities to contribute to the regional society. These behaviors are based on their management principles Growing in step with the regional communities. In addition, they are contributing to financial stabilization of local public institutions, which include prefectural and municipal governments, by handling fiscal cash management as their designated financial institutions or through providing loans. Sound Management As regional banks business bases are in the specific regions, their keys for success are to win reliance from their customers in the regions. So they have given high priority for sound management for a long time. Recently, they have been trying to make their risk management techniques more highly sophisticated. They have been trying to use alternative channel such as Internet and to update IT infrastructure from the viewpoint of increasing efficiency of the operations.
