TOKYO -- Japan will move all applications and filings from banks, insurance companies and other financial institutions online by the end of March 2022 under Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga's push to digitize the government.
Japan lags in embracing digital forms, particularly in its financial sector. In contrast, the U.S. let small businesses file for federal coronavirus relief loans online. The U.K. allows a wide range of documents to be submitted online through the FCA Connect platform.
