Aozora Bank, Ltd. is a Japanese financial institution headquartered in Tokyo. The bank provides banking and financial services to individual, corporate, institutional, and public-sector customers, with activities spanning deposits, lending, payments, foreign exchange, and other conventional banking services.
Its business also includes investment banking, asset management, structured finance, real estate finance, corporate restructuring support, and other specialized financial solutions. Aozora serves clients in Japan and conducts international business through overseas offices and relationships with financial institutions in selected global markets.
The bank traces its origins to Nippon Bond and Credit Bank, which was established in 1957. Following financial difficulties in the late 1990s and a period of temporary government ownership, the institution was privatized and renamed Aozora Bank in 2001. Aozora Bank is listed in Japan, and its American depositary receipts trade over the counter in the United States under the symbol AOZOY.
