Overview
This page is the execution checklist for expanding financial-regulators INDEX from a major-institution wiki into a registry-aware Japan financial institution map.
The current wiki already has a strong core: megabanks, major FG, regional-bank groups, policy finance, insurers, securities groups, leasing, payment, fintech, foreign Japan subsidiaries, and crypto exchange pages. It is not yet exhaustive against official license / registration lists.
Execution rule:
- Create standalone pages for systemically important institutions, listed financial companies, major operating subsidiaries, market infrastructure, and fintech/payment operators with public sources.
- Use registry / index pages for very large populations such as shinkin banks, credit cooperatives, prepaid issuers, and long-tail FIEA operators.
- Do not create company pages from non-public context. Every page must be sourceable from public registry, IR, disclosure, company profile, annual report, association list, or law / policy documents.

|---|---|---|

| [x] | Kyushu / Okinawa B2.7 | [[regional-banks/fukuoka-bank |
| [x] | Second regional long tail B2.8 | [[regional-banks/minato-bank |
Batch C: Securities, asset management, and FIEA operators
Start with operators that have public strategic significance. Do not attempt to write all 1,945 FIEA operators as standalone pages.
The company-page layer is now supported by six control pages: Japan securities license stack, Japan online brokerage competition, Japan best execution, SOR, and PTS, Japan PTS liquidity data guide, Japan underwriting market structure, and Japan market infrastructure map.
| Status | Target page | Institution | Source route |
|---|---|---|---|

| [x] | JapanFG/smd-am.md | 三井住友DSアセットマネジメント | SMFG / Daiwa / insurer shareholder platform. |
| [x] | JapanFG/daiwa-asset-management.md | 大和アセットマネジメント | Daiwa AM platform. |
| [x] | JapanFG/sbi-asset-management.md | SBIアセットマネジメント | SBI AM platform. |
Batch D: Insurance operating companies
Parent insurance HD pages are not enough for product/channel analysis. Add operating companies where public disclosure exists.
| Status | Group | Institutions to write or reconcile |
|---|---|---|
| [x] | Life insurers D1 | [[life-insurers/asahi-life |
| [x] | Life subsidiaries / specialty D2 | [[life-insurers/cardif-life |

| [x] | Specialty non-life extension D8 | [[non-life-insurers/dai-ichi-ipet-insurance |
| [x] | Specialty / foreign-affiliated non-life extension D9 | [[non-life-insurers/american-home-insurance-japan |
Batch E: Payments, cards, consumer credit, and remittance
This is the largest strategic gap after banks and insurance. Start from major consumer-facing platforms and registered funds-transfer / credit-card operators.
| Status | Segment | Institutions |
|---|---|---|
| [x] | Card issuers / acquirers E1 | [[card-issuers/smbc-card |
| [x] | Consumer finance / installment E1 | [[consumer-finance/smbc-consumer-finance |
| [x] | Consumer finance / installment E2 | [[consumer-finance/shinsei-financial |
| [x] | PSP / acquiring / gateway E1 | [[payment-firms/sb-payment-service |
| [x] | PSP / acquiring / gateway E2 | [[payment-firms/netstars |
| [x] | Wallet / funds transfer E2 | [[payment-firms/paypay |
| [x] | Cross-border remittance E2 | [[payment-firms/wise-payments-japan |
| [x] | Stablecoin / EPI adjacency E3 | [[payment-firms/jpyc |
Batch F: Crypto and digital-asset cleanup
The exchange namespace is strong, but the current FSA list has at least two direct missing operators.
| Status | Target page | Institution | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| [x] | exchanges/jp-exchange-finx-jcrypto.md | FINX JCrypto | FSA registered crypto asset exchange operator. |
| [x] | exchanges/jp-exchange-coinhub.md | COINHUB | FSA registered crypto asset exchange operator. |
| [x] | exchanges/INDEX.md | Registered-operator completeness table | Mark all 27 FSA operators and JVCEA membership class. |
| [x] | exchanges/jp-exchange-sbi-vc-trade.md | SBI VC Trade | Add EPSP / USDC electronic payment instrument cross-link. |
Batch G: Foreign bank branches and global financial institutions
Current wiki already covers several major US / European banks. The FSA list contains 57 foreign bank branches, so use a tiered approach.
| Status | Priority | Institutions | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| [x] | P0 | [[foreign-financial-institutions/credit-agricole-bank-japan | クレディ・アグリコル銀行]], [[foreign-financial-institutions/natixis-japan |
| [x] | P1 | Korean-affiliated: [[foreign-financial-institutions/woori-bank-japan | ウリィ銀行]], [[foreign-financial-institutions/hana-bank-japan |
| [x] | P1 | Taiwan / China-affiliated: [[foreign-financial-institutions/bank-of-taiwan-japan | 台湾銀行]], [[foreign-financial-institutions/mega-icbc-japan |
| [x] | P2 strategic exceptions | [[foreign-financial-institutions/euroclear-bank-japan | Euroclear]], [[foreign-financial-institutions/clearstream-banking-japan |
| [x] | P3 corridor exceptions | [[foreign-financial-institutions/commonwealth-bank-japan | Commonwealth Bank]], [[foreign-financial-institutions/national-australia-bank-japan |
| [x] | P4 registry-only closure | [[foreign-financial-institutions/chang-hwa-bank-japan | 彰化商業銀行]], [[foreign-financial-institutions/taishin-bank-japan |
Batch H: Cooperative and community financial institutions
Do not create hundreds of pages one by one until registry indexes exist.
| Status | Target page | Scope |
|---|---|---|
| [x] | banking/shinkin-bank-registry-japan.md | 254 shinkin banks + Shinkin Central Bank; prefecture index and official-name registry rows. |
| [x] | banking/credit-cooperative-registry-japan.md | 143 credit cooperatives + Zenshin-kumi; prefecture index and official-name registry rows. |
| [x] | banking/rokin-bank-registry-japan.md | 13 rokin banks + Rokinren; labor-union finance map and official-name registry rows. |
| [x] | banking/ja-bank-system-japan.md | JA Bank / Norinchukin / prefectural Shinren / JA boundary. |
| [x] | banking/jf-marine-bank-system-japan.md | JF Marine Bank / fishery cooperative finance boundary. |
Batch I: Policy finance and public-credit adjacency
The policy-finance namespace already covers JFC, DBJ, JBIC, JICA, JOGMEC, NEXI, and Okinawa Development Finance Corp. Add the remaining institutions that matter for credit creation and public guarantees.
| Status | Target page | Institution |
|---|---|---|
| [x] | policy-finance/japan-housing-finance-agency.md | 住宅金融支援機構 / JHF |
| [x] | policy-finance/japan-credit-guarantee-system.md | 信用保証協会制度 / JFG |
| [x] | policy-finance/national-federation-credit-guarantee-corporations.md | 全国信用保証協会連合会 |
| [x] | policy-finance/agriculture-credit-guarantee-system.md | 農業信用保証 / 農業信用基金協会 |
| [x] | policy-finance/fisheries-credit-guarantee-system.md | 漁業信用保証 / 漁業信用基金協会 |
Batch J: Data QA and index control
Complete these before writing more than 20 new pages.
| Status | Task | Output |
|---|---|---|
| [x] | Download and normalize FSA registry Excel files into a temporary working table outside the public wiki. | Working copy created outside the public wiki; no local worksheet committed. |
| [x] | Match official names to existing wiki slugs. | Machine exact / alias lower-bound match completed; group-covered entries require human review. |
| [x] | Add a compact completeness table to this backlog. | See QA snapshot below; no personal data, no local path. |
| [x] | Add or update domain indexes after each batch. | JapanFG/INDEX.md and root [[INDEX |
| [x] | Run wikilink health check after each batch. | Changed-file wikilinks: 42 files ok after B1. |
| [x] | Update [[CHANGELOG | CHANGELOG]] for each batch. |
| [x] | Recount root [[INDEX | INDEX]] after each batch. |
Batch J QA snapshot (2026-05-20)
This table is a source-control checkpoint, not a final coverage claim. Machine match is an exact / alias normalization lower bound from current wiki titles and aliases. It understates coverage where the wiki intentionally uses a parent group page, a foreign-bank Japan umbrella page, or an index route instead of a legal-name page.
| Registry | FSA as-of date | Official count | Machine match lower bound | Coverage decision | Next action |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Banks: city / trust / other | 2026-04-01 | 35 | 34 | Mostly covered after B1 plus specialty-trust reconciliation; sbi-shinsei-trust-bank and jsf-trust-bank now have standalone routes, while BNY Mellon Trust is handled inside bny-mellon-japan to separate a duplicate custody umbrella page. | Refresh only when the FSA bank-license list changes or a trust-bank route needs deeper KPI / disclosure precision. |
| Foreign bank branches | 2026-05-13 | 57 | 57 | Registry/index route completed via foreign-bank-branches-japan-index; all 57 rows have standalone / umbrella wiki routes after P2 strategic exceptions, P3 corridor promotions, and the P4 registry-only closure. | Refresh the registry index when FSA ginkou.xlsx changes; no registry-only rows remain, so future standalone changes should follow source changes or deeper strategic questions. |
| Regional banks | 2026-01-01 | 61 | 61 | First-regional bank license surface closed at standalone / intentional existing-anchor level after B2.1 Hokuriku / Hokkaido, B2.2 Tohoku / Fidea, B2.3 Kanto, B2.4 Chubu, B2.5 Kansai / Chugoku, B2.6 Shikoku, and B2.7 Kyushu / Okinawa. | Maintain boundary links; no new first-regional standalone gap unless FSA list changes. |
| Second regional banks | 2026-05-02 | 34 | 34 | Second-regional bank license surface closed at standalone / intentional existing-anchor level after B2.2 North Japan / Sendai / Kirayaka / Fukushima / Daito, B2.3 East Japan / Tokyo Star / Kanagawa / Tochigi / Taiko, B2.4 Shizuoka Chuo / Aichi / Nagoya, B2.5 Momiji / Tomato, B2.6 Tokushima Taisho / Kagawa / Ehime / Kochi, and B2.8 second-regional long tail. The same FSA sheet also has an Other row for [[megabanks/saitama-resona-bank | 埼玉りそな銀行]], already covered in B1. |
| Bank holding companies | 2026-05-01 | 31 | 31 | Current-name route completed with cci-group; hokkoku-fhd remains the historical / old-name bridge, and Kyushu parent boundary is already covered by existing kyushu-fg route. | Maintain current-name redirects and refresh when FSA bank-holding-company list changes. |
| Shinkin banks + Shinkin Central Bank | 2025-11-06 | 255 | 255 | Registry/index route completed via shinkin-bank-registry-japan; do not create 254 standalone pages by default. | Refresh registry index when FSA workbook changes; standalone pages only for strategically material exceptions. |
| Credit cooperatives + Zenshinkumiren | 2026-02-20 | 144 | 144 | Registry/index route completed via credit-cooperative-registry-japan; do not create 143 standalone pages by default. | Refresh registry index when FSA workbook changes; standalone pages only for central / strategically material exceptions. |
| Rokin banks + Rokinren | 2023-08-14 | 14 | 14 | Registry/index route completed via rokin-bank-registry-japan. | Refresh registry index when FSA workbook changes; standalone pages only if a labor-bank entity needs deeper analysis. |
| Financial instruments business operators | 2026-04-30 | 1,945 | 1,945 | Registry route completed via financial-instruments-business-operators-japan-index; material brokers, AMs, PTS, FX, and listed/publicly material operators have route anchors; license / brokerage / best-execution / PTS liquidity data / margin trading / securities finance / short-selling / stock-loan / stock-lending / prime brokerage / underwriting / infrastructure control pages are now linked. | Refresh when FSA kinyushohin.xlsx changes; standalone pages only for strategic exceptions. |
| Life insurers | 2026-04-13 | 41 | 41 | FSA 41 life-insurer surface closed at standalone / intentional group-anchor level after D1, D2, and D7. | Maintain name-change checks; do not add duplicate pages for parent/operating company boundaries already resolved. |
| Non-life insurers | 2026-04-01 | 57 | 37 | Major, direct / digital, specialty, reinsurance, pet-insurance, outdoor/platform, telco-linked, travel, rental-housing, foreign-affiliated, and product-specialty D3-D5/D8-D9 pages completed; remaining long-tail non-life insurers need registry/index treatment or strategic exception review. | Refresh when FSA songai.xlsx changes; next useful step is a non-life registry index or foreign reinsurer / P&I carrier map, not blanket company-page generation. |
| Insurance holding companies | 2026-04-01 | 15 | 14 | D6 completed for Anicom HD, NTT docomo non-life HD, Rakuten Insurance HD, and Dai-ichi Life Group name update. Current FSA holding-company list does not require an ipet-holdings standalone route. | Remaining HD gaps requires checking only when group strategy needs standalone coverage. |
| Trust companies | 2026-03-31 | 38 | 38 | Registry route completed via trust-companies-japan-index; all 38 rows now have standalone or existing group wiki routes after priority A / B / C promotion, and 0 rows remain registry-only. | Refresh when FSA sintaku01.xlsx changes; future work should focus on source URL drift refresh or report-source precision rather than raw registry completion. |
| Funds transfer service providers | 2026-04-30 | 83 | 83 registry-routed | Registry route completed via funds-transfer-service-providers-japan-index; material wallet / remittance / PSP routes now include PayPay, Merpay, au PAY, Rakuten Edy, Kyash, SmartBank, Seven Payment Service, Wise, Revolut, PayPal, Payoneer, Western Union, SBI Remit, Travelex, Airwallex, Netstars, Recruit MUFG Business, JAL Payment Port, JPYC, NTT docomo FG watch route, [[payments/account-to-account-payment-japan | account-to-account payment route]], [[payments/merchant-bank-pay-account-direct-acquiring |
| Credit purchase / card operators | 2026-04 month-end | 241 comprehensive / 138 individual / 275 card-number contract operators | registry-routed | Registry route completed via credit-purchase-card-operators-japan-index; major card issuers, consumer-finance, auto-finance, PSP, and wallet-adjacent operators have material wiki routes; [[payments/japan-card-issuer-acquirer-processor-split | card role split]] and [[payments/japan-bnpl-credit-purchase-boundary |
| Crypto asset exchange operators | 2026-04-01 | 27 | 23 | Manual exchanges/INDEX.md completeness table is the source of truth after Batch F. | Keep exact-name aliases improving over time; no immediate standalone gap from the FSA 27 list. |
| Electronic payment instrument service providers | 2025-03-04 | 1 | 1 | Complete via [[exchanges/jp-exchange-sbi-vc-trade | SBI VC Trade]]. |
| Third-party prepaid issuers | 2026-04-30 | 803 | 803 | Registry route completed via prepaid-payment-instrument-issuers-japan-index; jurisdiction counts and material wiki routes fixed, full row-level source remains FSA workbook. | Refresh when FSA daisan.xlsx changes; standalone pages only for material wallet/card/retail exceptions. |
Recommended execution order
- Batch A: market infrastructure, because it unlocks securities, IPO, TDnet, settlement, clearing, and PTS links.
- Batch F: two missing crypto operators and registered-operator completeness table, because it is small and makes the crypto surface clean.
- Batch B1: bank operating companies for megabank / trust / internet-bank boundaries.
- Batch J: registry QA snapshot, because A/F + B1 already added more than 20 pages and future batches need a coverage control table.
- Batch C: securities and asset-management operators; FIEA registry, securities license stack, online brokerage, best-execution / SOR / PTS, PTS liquidity data, margin trading / securities finance, underwriting, and market-infrastructure control maps are completed.
- Batch E: payment / card / funds-transfer operators. E1-E3 and Batch K extension are completed at material-page / registry-control level; continue only for strategic exceptions.
- Batch D: insurance operating companies. D1-D9 completed for life-insurers, major / direct / specialty non-life insurers, pet / outdoor / telco-linked / travel / rental-housing / foreign-affiliated specialty insurers, and insurance holding-company anchors; FSA 41 life-insurer surface closed at standalone / intentional group-anchor level. Continue with registry/index or precision work rather than duplicating life-insurer pages.
- Batch B2 + H: regional-bank pages and cooperative-finance registry indexes. B2.1-B2.8 and H shinkin / shinkumi / rokin registry routes are completed.
- Batch G + H + I: foreign branches, cooperative-system gaps, and policy-finance adjacency. Batch G foreign-bank branch surface is closed at all-57-row route level via foreign-bank-branches-japan-index, P2 strategic exception pages, P3 corridor exception pages, and P4 registry-only closure pages. Batch H cooperative-system gaps are routed via ja-bank-system-japan and jf-marine-bank-system-japan, and Batch I public-credit adjacency is routed via japan-housing-finance-agency, japan-credit-guarantee-system, national-federation-credit-guarantee-corporations, agriculture-credit-guarantee-system, and fisheries-credit-guarantee-system. Future foreign-bank work should be refresh / precision work, not raw list completion.
- Completed strategic control gaps: account-to-account payment route, merchant bank-account direct acquiring detail, bank API / electronic payment agency route, bank API incident / fraud controls, card issuer / acquirer / processor split, card security / authentication controls, BNPL / credit-purchase boundary, best-execution / SOR / PTS detail, PTS liquidity data guide, margin trading / securities finance route, short-selling / stock-loan controls, stock lending route, prime brokerage / institutional financing, trust-bank custody map, master trust / custody landscape, regional bank API route, TOB process, acquisition finance, and activist investor playbook. Next candidates are source URL drift refresh, a non-life insurer registry index, foreign reinsurer / P&I carrier map, or deeper report-source precision.
