Shoko Chukin Bank Management Reform Plan (Medium-term Management Plan)

As a plan to implement the "Shoko Chukin Bank Management Reform Plan", which was submitted to the competent ministry on May 22, 2018, Shoko Chukin Bank formulated and publicly announced the "Shoko Chukin Bank Management Reform Plan" on October 18 of the same year.

Along with this plan, Shoko Chukin Bank is developing the "Comprehensive financial services business to support management", providing improved value to SMEs and small and medium enterprises associations from a truly long-term, customer-oriented perspective.

Measures and Support regarding Management Issues Faced by SMEs

For SMEs with low productivity who are in need of management reform, business revitalization, and business succession as well as SMEs which are unskillfully advancing high-risk ventures, based on the challenges faced by the customers, we cooperate and collaborate with regional financial institutions to provide solutions to help our customers solve their problems while focusing on the following areas:

Initiatives in four areas of focus

Shoko Chukin Bank has positioned its business prospects evaluation as a starting point for its comprehensive financial services business to support management. In order to deepen the relationship of mutual trust with customers, understand the businesses and grasp the potential for future growth, we conduct interviews based on the situation and understand sales channels, and utilize the systematically accumulated information to make judgments when determining credit limits or providing solutions.

Business Prospects Evaluation

Via business prospects evaluations, we precisely comprehend customers' challenges, and based on their needs, refinance leading to drastic solutions, and improve financial CF through temporary overdrafts according to working capital requests and long-term bullet repayment financing, as well as deal with core business support leading to the improvement of business CF through business matching.

Structure to Facilitate the Business Model

Establishing a Sustainable Financing Process

  • Supply channel reconstruction based on changes in customer needs.
  • Securing the necessary procurement by using the three pillars of recruitment bonds, corporate deposits, and retail deposits.
  • Recruitment bonds declined from 4.5 trillion yen to 3.5 trillion yen.
  • Due to corporate deposits accumulation, the procurement balance for FY 2021 is secured at 9 trillion yen.

Streamlining Management

  • While maintaining nationwide networks, we plan to redistribute resources to areas of focus and optimize costs.
  • In order to streamline operations and management, thoroughly and quickly, we established a full-time cross-sectional team.

Condition Maintenance

  • Towards an organization where compliance is the highest priority.
