Financial institutions are working to respond as much as possible when there are requests for grace periods for loan repayments or provisions for stop-gap funds, etc. from borrowers directly and indirectly affected by the disaster.

Grace periods will be given for non-payment of drafts and cheques which cannot be settled because of the disaster.

Financial institutions are also working to handle loan applications flexibly and quickly. For example, financial institutions are considering the situation of disaster victims, and will minimize the required documents for submission for loans.

For details, ask your financial institution.
