Sumitomo Bank was a major Japanese bank, founded in 1895; Sakura Bank was a descendant of Mitsui Bank, another major Japanese bank founded in 1876, but with operations dating back to 1683. SMBC is the second largest bank of Japan and also holds branches in the United States, Canada and Europe. Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group (SMFG) was established in December 2002 through a stock transfer as a bank holding company SMBC became a wholly owned subsidiary of SMFG.
