Japan's Financial Services Agency has confirmed that two of the country's regional finance bureaus have requested financial-sector measures for areas damaged by Typhoon No. 24 and heavy rain from a front. The agency's notice, posted September 7 and updated September 9, 2026, groups two separate bureau requests under one heading rather than detailing new measures of its own.
The Kyushu Finance Bureau made its request on September 7, covering Kagoshima Prefecture. The Tokai Finance Bureau followed on September 9 with a request covering Aichi Prefecture, and the FSA's page carries an update dated the same day.
The FSA notice does not spell out what the two bureaus asked lenders to do, or which institutions the requests were addressed to. Those details, if they exist, sit in the two linked bureau documents, which are not reproduced in the notice reviewed here.
What the notice does supply is a contact channel. It lists weekday telephone reception from 10am to 5pm on 0570-016811 (03-5251-6811 from IP phones), and directs general questions about financial administration to the agency's Financial Services User Consultation Office. The page also names the Bank and Securities Supervision Bureau's General Affairs Division Supervision and Investigation Office as a listed contact.
For lenders with branches in Kagoshima or Aichi, the practical takeaway is narrow: two prefectures each have a dated finance-bureau request tied to a named typhoon and accompanying heavy rain, filed September 7 and September 9, 2026 respectively. The FSA's own notice does not publish the requests' operative terms, so institutions and their compliance teams will need to consult the underlying Kyushu and Tokai bureau documents directly for the specifics.
