Competitive map (Shikoku’s 4 prefectures)
| Prefecture | Main regional bank | Holding company |
|---|---|---|
| Ehime | **Iyo Bank** / Ehime Bank | Iyogin HD / standalone second-regional |
| Tokushima | The Awa Bank / Tokushima Taisho Bank | standalone / tomony-hd |
| Kagawa | Hyakujushi Bank / The Kagawa Bank | standalone / tomony-hd |
| Kochi | Shikoku Bank / The Kochi Bank | standalone / standalone |
