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.

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.

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.

  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.
