Sapporo Shinkin Bank (integrated into Hokkaido Shinkin Bank in 2018)

Wiki route

This page preserves the historical Sapporo Shinkin route under cooperative-banks INDEX. For the operating institution after 2018-01-01, use Hokkaido Shinkin Bank and verify it against Japan shinkin bank registry. Compare Sapporo Chuo Credit Cooperative as a separate cooperative institution; for ordinary-bank comparisons in Hokkaido, see Hokkaido Bank and Hokuyo Bank.

TL;DR

Sapporo Shinkin Bank is not its current trade name. Sapporo Shinkin Bank, Hokkai Shinkin Bank, and Otaru Shinkin Bank merged on January 1, 2018, and became Hokkaido Shinkin Bank. The Financial Services Agency’s 2025-11-06 directory also includes Hokkaido Shinkin Bank (corporate number 3430005003118, head office 3-15-1 Minami 2-jo Nishi, Chuo-ku, Sapporo). Corrected the fact that the previous version described Sapporo Shinkin Bank as an active corporation and listed an unresolvable old domain. ^[Sources: https://www.shinkin.co.jp/hokkaido/bankatm/index.php; https://www.shinkin.co.jp/hokkaido/topinclude/pdf/news/291218gappeininka.pdf; https://www.fsa.go.jp/menkyo/menkyoj/shinkin.xlsx.]

Successor identity

Sources: The merger date and participating banks are based on Hokkaido Shinkin Bank’s official guidance/merger approval announcement, current corporate information is based on the Financial Services Agency directory, and KPIs with base date are based on Hokkaido Shinkin Bank’s official overview. ^[Sources: https://www.shinkin.co.jp/hokkaido/bankatm/index.php; https://www.shinkin.co.jp/hokkaido/topinclude/pdf/news/291218gappeininka.pdf; https://www.fsa.go.jp/menkyo/menkyoj/shinkin.xlsx; https://www.shinkin.co.jp/hokkaido/aboutus/02aboutus.php.]

Interpretation rule

• Do not connect Sapporo Shinkin Bank data before 2017 and Hokkaido Shinkin Bank data after 2018 as the same time series without annotation.
• Although post-merger branches carry the lineages of the 3 former shinkin banks, the current contracting and registered entity is Hokkaido Shinkin Bank.
• Do not publish Sapporo market rankings or claims such as “largest in Hokkaido” without a comparison of all shinkin banks on the same reference date.

[!info] Calibration status confidence: likely. On 2026-07-29, we reconfirmed the Financial Services Agency directory, Hokkaido Shinkin Bank’s official profile, and merger information. The prior version’s misidentification of an active entity was withdrawn, and this slug is retained for historical and successor-entity identification.
