Mizuho Financial Group, Inc.

Mizuho was born on September 29, 2000 with the establishment of Mizuho Holdings, Inc., joining the three predecessor banks, The Dai-Ichi Kangyo Bank, The Fuji Bank and The Industrial Bank of Japan. It is currently composed of Mizuho Financial Group, Inc. (holding company) and its subsidiaries and affiliates, which work together to provide full-financial services for retail and corporate & institutional customers.


Mizuho is listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange (First Section) and the New York Stock Exchange. It has the largest customer base in Japan and a broad global network of 117 offices, which covers 38 countries with a focus on Asia. The group employs more than 58,000 people and has the total assets of 193 trillion yen, loan balance of 73 trillion yen and deposit balance of 120 trillion yen (as of September 30, 2016).


We create lasting value by bringing fruitfulness for each customer and the economies and the societies in which it operates, as stated in its corporate philosophy. This is what makes us invaluable. Based on the above corporate philosophy, we pursue a new business model as a “financial services consulting group.” This is supported by our commitment to the “customer first” principle and operational excellence as we leverage on our advanced risk management framework and financial intermediary functions.


We are fundamentally committed to maintaining close and long-term relationships with the customers and to building the future with them as the most trusted financial partner in overcoming economic and social challenges.


As market needs are becoming increasingly diverse and complex with the changing times, pursuing the “customer-first” principle means anticipating changes and identifying not only the present needs but also potential needs that customers themselves may not be aware of. In providing timely solutions that best suit each customer, we combine our three core financial services--banking, securities and trust—with asset management and research & consulting functions. With full-financial services and consulting know-how, we confidently offer a range of high-quality services that require not only financial but also business expertise.


The above principle is supported by our pursuit of "operational excellence." In addition to business process improvement, we are actively engaging in financial innovation (FinTech, etc.) that can significantly improve customer experience.


Through these efforts, Mizuho will raise its profile in the financial market. It will build a sustainable basis for growth in order to increase its corporate value and fulfill even greater social missions than ever before.
