On this page

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:

  1. Create standalone pages for systemically important institutions, listed financial companies, major operating subsidiaries, market infrastructure, and fintech/payment operators with public sources.
  2. Use registry / index pages for very large populations such as shinkin banks, credit cooperatives, prepaid issuers, and long-tail FIEA operators.
  3. 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] banking/credit-cooperative-registry-japan.md 143 credit cooperatives + Zenshin-kumi; prefecture index and official-name registry rows.

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 synced after A/F and B1; Batch J recorded in financial-regulators INDEX.
[x] Run wikilink health check after each batch. Changed-file wikilinks: 42 files ok after B1.
[x] Update CHANGELOG for each batch. A/F, B1, and Batch J recorded with JST time, scope, validation, and remaining work.
[x] Recount root INDEX after each batch. Root domain table sum = 538 and filesystem count = 538 after B1; Batch J does not add entries. Post-Wave-13 refresh (2026-05-25): JapanFG headline now 620 entity entries, filesystem .md count = 621 incl. INDEX / backlog / non-entity surfaces.

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 Saitama Resona Bank, already covered in B1. Maintain boundary links; no new second-regional standalone gap unless FSA list changes.
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, account-to-account payment route, merchant bank-account direct acquiring route, bank API / electronic payment agency route, bank API incident / fraud controls, and card security / authentication controls. Refresh when FSA shikin_idou.pdf changes; standalone pages only for strategic exceptions.
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; card role split and BNPL / credit-purchase boundary now route role and product classification. Refresh when METI lists change; standalone pages only for major issuers, acquirers, PSPs, BNPL, auto-finance, or consumer-credit exceptions.
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 SBI VC Trade. Maintain stablecoin / EPI cross-links.
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.
  1. Batch A: market infrastructure, because it unlocks securities, IPO, TDnet, settlement, clearing, and PTS links.
  2. Batch F: two missing crypto operators and registered-operator completeness table, because it is small and makes the crypto surface clean.
  3. Batch B1: bank operating companies for megabank / trust / internet-bank boundaries.
  4. Batch J: registry QA snapshot, because A/F + B1 already added more than 20 pages and future batches need a coverage control table.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. Batch B2 + H: regional-bank pages and cooperative-finance registry indexes. B2.1-B2.8 and H shinkin / shinkumi / rokin registry routes are completed.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
