銀行は、第十条第二項第八号の二に掲げる業務（次条第二号から第四号までを除き、以下「外国銀行代理業務」という。）を営もうとするときは、当該外国銀行代理業務の委託を受ける旨の契約の相手方である外国銀行（次条第二号から第四号までを除き、以下「所属外国銀行」という。）ごとに、内閣府令で定めるところにより、あらかじめ、内閣総理大臣の認可を受けなければならない。
Notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding paragraph, for each foreign bank group (meaning a group consisting of a foreign bank and the foreign bank's subsidiary companies that are foreign banks or of any other persons specified by Cabinet Office Order), a bank may perform foreign bank agency services that has a foreign bank that belongs to that foreign bank group as the principal foreign bank, by obtaining an authorization.

In such a case, the bank must file a notification with the Prime Minister, pursuant to the provisions of Cabinet Office Order in advance, for each principal foreign bank that is involved in the relevant foreign bank agency services.
