Ownership
listed on Tokyo Stock Exchange

Shinsei Bank's largest shareholder is the Japanese government (18.1%). The bank's complete shareholder structure can be accessed here.

Shinsei Bank is the successor of the Long-Term Credit Bank of Japan , which had a government monopoly on the issuance of long-term debt securities. Following the collapse of the Japanese asset price bubble in 1989, the bank was riddled with bad debts and the government nationalized it in 1998. LTCB was relaunched as Shinsei Bank (literally "Newborn") in June 2000, with new management and services. Shinsei Bank provides a full range of financial products and services to both institutional and individual customers. It is headquartered in Chuo, Tokyo.
