PROFILE |
 |
Shinsei Bank hopes to be born again. Formerly Long-Term Credit Bank of Japan, Shinsei (which is Japanese for "new birth)" is one of the top three credit banks in Japan (after Industrial Bank of Japan and Aozora Bank). Shinsei traditionally focused on financing Japan's large industrial firms but has become interested in cultivating its retail business. As Japan's economy worsened, the government nationalized it in 1998, then sold it to an international group led by US-based Ripplewood Holdings in 2000; Shinsei is the first major Japanese bank to come under foreign control. The group plans to take over the failed Tokyo Sowa Bank in order to expand its branch network.
