金融庁、みずほに立ち入りへ　システム障害、集中検査で解明

　みずほ銀行で相次いだシステム障害を受け、金融庁が同行と親会社のみずほフィナンシャルグループ（ＦＧ）に対し、月内にも集中検査を行う方針を固めたことが１７日、分かった。立ち入って問題が発生したシステムの稼働記録などを精査し、約２週間に４度の障害が立て続けに起きた原因の究明を急ぐ。
　金融庁は検査の結果を受け、処分などの対応を詰める。同庁は障害時の顧客対応の遅れも問題視しており、業務改善命令などの重い処分が避けられない情勢だ。（2021/03/17-11:30）

Japan's Financial Services Agency will conduct an on-sight intensive inspection as early as this month at Mizuho Bank, which has suffered a system failure four times in about two weeks, it was learned on Wednesday.
   The agency will scrutinize system operation records to find out the causes of the breakdowns, informed sources said. Mizuho Financial Group Inc. , the parent of the Japanese megabank, will also be inspected.
   The FSA will consider whether to impose an administrative punishment on Mizuho Bank after looking into the results of the inspection.
   Since the agency takes seriously Mizuho Bank's failure to deal with affected customers promptly, the bank will likely face a severe punishment such as a business improvement order.
   The FSA has ordered Mizuho Bank and Mizuho Financial to submit by the end of this month a report on the system glitches, including explanations on their causes and measures to prevent any recurrence.
