The number of people using bank stores in Japan is decreasing in Japan, due to the declining population and the spread of Internet banking.

Under these circumstances, "Resona" decided to make every Wednesday a non-business day from the 8th of next month at a branch office in Akiruno, Tokyo's "Resona Bank".

It is aimed at maintaining the store network efficiently by working at the other shops in the vicinity.

It is unusual for large banks to set up holidays on weekdays, so consider "Resona" to expand to other stores such as "Resona Bank" and "Saitama Resona Bank" while looking at the situation To do that.

bank holidays are limited to Saturdays, Sundays, holidays, year-end and New Year holidays with laws and regulations, but this time we will transfer the account of the current account to another branch so that there will be no impediment to the business transactions It was approved by the Financial Services Agency.

Meanwhile, the Financial Services Agency is planning to widely accept holidays on weekdays by revising nearby laws and ordinances so that regional financial institutions and others can easily maintain a retail network, It is also expected that institutions will increase.
