Its business is the standard regional-bank model of deposit-taking and lending to SMEs / individuals in northern Hyogo Prefecture (the Tajima area).

2. Operating model
The Tajima Bank is a regional bank that, centered on northern Hyogo Prefecture (the Tajima area), handles retail deposits, SME finance, local tourism / agriculture finance, and regional relationship banking. Unlike the second regional banks Minato Bank, Kansai Mirai Bank, and Ikeda Senshu Bank, it is positioned as a local-community banking anchor at a distance from the major-bank market of Osaka and Kyoto. Trends in the keiretsu reorganization of Kansai regional banks can be referenced via Regional bank consolidation pattern.
