2. Operating Model

The branch is not a Japanese domestic bank subsidiary; it is a foreign-bank branch that connects Korean and Japan customers, remittance flows, deposits, and business banking activity through Woori’s home-market network.

The FSA list is the primary license source, while JBA’s bank database provides the Japan banking-code / contact context for public users.
