Tsukuba Bank

Wiki route

This entry sits under regional-banks INDEX (its domain route). Read it against Joyo Bank for the same-prefecture peer / contrast (Ibaraki lead regional bank vs second channel), and against the FSA plus banking for the supervisory / system boundary.

TL;DR

Tsukuba Bank, Ltd. (株式会社筑波銀行) is a regional bank (first-tier regional bank) headquartered in Tsuchiura City, Ibaraki Prefecture, holding a bank license under the Banking Act and listed in the FSA’s bank license list, with its head-office functions in Tsukuba City. It was formed in 2010 年 3 月 1 日 when Kanto Tsukuba Bank absorbed Ibaraki Bank by merger. Within Ibaraki Prefecture, Joyo Bank is large as the core bank of Mebuki FG, but Tsukuba Bank is a licensed regional bank operating company that is a separate legal entity. Its business is the standard regional-bank model of deposit-taking and lending to SMEs / individuals within Ibaraki Prefecture.

2. Operating model

Tsukuba Bank is a regional bank that, centered on Ibaraki Prefecture, handles retail deposits, SME finance, local business support, and regional-consulting services. It faces the same Ibaraki market as Joyo Bank, but Tsukuba Bank is organized as a standalone bank-license entity.
