Yasuda / Fuji Bank

Common card · No. 447207

The Yasuda Bank (Japanese: 安田銀行) from 1880 to 1948, then Fuji Bank (富士銀行) from 1948 to 2000, was one of the largest Japanese banks for much of the 20th century, together with Dai-Ichi Bank, Mitsubishi Bank, Mitsui Bank, and Sumitomo Bank. It was the main bank of the Yasuda zaibatsu until World War II, and afterwards of the Fuyo Group. By 1988 at the height of the Japanese asset price bubble, it had become the world's third-largest bank by total assets. The Fuji Bank combined with Dai-Ichi Kangyo Bank and the Industrial Bank of Japan in 2000 to form Mizuho Financial Group, and changed its name to Mizuho Corporate Bank in 2002 after transferring its retail banking operations to Mizuho Bank.
