Types of Banks - CSV
Japanese banks are broadly classified into ordinary banks under the Banking Act (city banks, regional banks, second-tier regional banks, internet banks, etc.) and cooperative financial institutions (credit unions, credit associations, labor banks, etc.). Under the supervision of the Financial Services Agency, each plays a distinct role in supporting Japan's financial system. City banks operate nationwide targeting large corporations, regional banks focus on local communities, internet banks provide digital-native services, and cooperative institutions aim for mutual aid among members.
