Shizuoka Bank Ltd

A regional bank headquartered in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan, Shizuoka Bank serves individuals, businesses, and public institutions with everyday banking, loans, leasing, and foreign exchange. It was formed in 1943 when two local lenders — the Shizuoka 35th Bank and Enshu Bank, whose roots reach back to 1877 — merged under a wartime "one-prefecture, one-bank" policy. A fun detail: its head office in Shizuoka City, built in 1931, is a designated Japanese Important Cultural Property.
