A foreign bank branch must establish one of the following means as its means of public notice:
publication in a daily newspaper that publishes information about current events; or
時事に関する事項を掲載する日刊新聞紙に掲載する方法
electronic public notice (meaning electronic public notice as defined in Article 2, item (xxxiv) (Definitions) of the Companies Act; the same applies hereinafter).
電子公告（会社法第二条第三十四号（定義）に規定する電子公告をいう。以下同じ。）
The provisions of Article 940, paragraph (3) (Public Notice Period of Electronic Public Notice), Article 941 (Electronic Public Notice Investigation), Article 946 (Obligation of Investigation), Article 947 (Cases Where an Electronic Public Notice Investigation is Unable to be Carried Out), Article 951, paragraph (2) (Keeping and Inspection of Financial Statements), Article 953 (Order for Improvement), and Article 955 (Statements in an Investigation Record Book) of the Companies Act apply mutatis mutandis when a foreign bank branch office issues public notice pursuant to the provisions of this Act or any other laws (other than a public notice pursuant to the provisions of the Companies Act) by an electronic public notice. In such a case, the term "preceding two paragraphs" in Article 940, paragraph (3) of that Act is deemed to be replaced with "Article 57-2, paragraph (1) of the Banking Act as applied when the foreign bank branch office is deemed to be a single bank pursuant to the provisions of Article 47, paragraph (2) of that Act", and any other necessary technical replacement of terms is specified by Cabinet Order.
会社法第九百四十条第三項（電子公告の公告期間等）、第九百四十一条（電子公告調査）、第九百四十六条（調査の義務等）、第九百四十七条（電子公告調査を行うことができない場合）、第九百五十一条第二項（財務諸表等の備置き及び閲覧等）、第九百五十三条（改善命令）及び第九百五十五条（調査記録簿等の記載等）の規定は、外国銀行支店が電子公告によりこの法律又は他の法律の規定による公告（会社法の規定による公告を除く。）をする場合について準用する。この場合において、同法第九百四十条第三項中「前二項」とあるのは「銀行法第四十七条第二項の規定により外国銀行支店を一の銀行とみなして適用する同法第五十七条の二第一項」と読み替えるものとするほか、必要な技術的読替えは、政令で定める。
