Japan’s high-street banks are not just overstaffed. They are also over branched.

SBI Sumishin, an online bank set up by Softbank Group and Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Bank, has quickly become Japan’s most popular mortgage lender, and attributes mainly to costs that are a fifth of its _ (8) _ [inept] rivals. It has shaved interest rates on home loans to 1.17% a year, compared with an average for major banks of 1.28%, by _ (9) _ [organized] operations. The front-office _ (10) _ [disorders] of high-street banks can be stripped away, leaving only cash machines.
