31 Oct 2025 いわき信用組合 (Iwaki Credit Cooperative)Iwaki Credit Cooperative: lending halt for new clients after payments to anti-social forces JapanOrganisational requirements Order

Among other things, between 2004 and 2011 the credit cooperative had channelled loans taken out in the names of uninvolved people without their knowledge, and via shell companies, to a distressed large borrower group, thereby circumventing large-exposure limits; it had paid large cash sums to anti-social forces (hanshakai-teki seiryoku), carried out no suspicious-transaction assessments and given false reports and false statements to the supervisor. Besides a comprehensive business improvement order, lending to new clients was suspended from 17 November to 16 December 2025, combined with training of all staff away from day-to-day business and the immediate severing of ties with anti-social forces; it was the second order against the cooperative in 2025.

What organisations can take from it

When management and control functions jointly cover up breaches, only a rebuild of governance helps, and every false statement to the supervisor makes the consequences worse.

Relevance to training and awareness

Resisting demands from anti-social forces and truthful information to the supervisor

Missing or inadequate training played a role in the decision.
