Japan's largest banking group outside the three megabanks, built on retail and small-business lending in Tokyo and Osaka after a state bailout.

Business Description

Resona Holdings is the parent of Resona Bank, Saitama Resona Bank and Kansai Mirai Financial Group. Unlike the megabanks it has no large overseas or investment-banking arm; earnings come from mortgages, small and mid-sized corporate lending, and a fee business in trust services, asset management and real estate that is unusually large for a Japanese commercial bank.

The group received a ¥1.96 trillion public capital injection in 2003 after an auditor forced a writedown of its deferred tax assets — one of the defining moments of Japan's banking crisis — and spent the following fifteen years repaying it, completing the process in 2015. That history shaped an emphasis on cost discipline and fee income over balance-sheet size. The holding company was established in 2001.
