Nōrin Chūō Kinko ( Japanese 農林 中央 金庫 , German " Central Agriculture and Forestry Bank ", short: kurz 中 金 , Nōrinchūkin , English The Norinchukin Bank ) is a Japanese company with headquarters in Tokyo . The company operates as a credit institution in the banking sector.
The bank was founded in 1923 as Sangyō Kumiai Chūō Kinko ( 産業 組合 中央 金庫 , German "Cooperative Central Bank") as a quasi-state institute; a year later, a law of its own ( 農林 中央 金庫 法 , Nōrin Chūō Kinko-hō ; revised 2001) allowed her to offer financial services to cooperatives in the fields of fishing, agriculture and forestry. As a result, it now has the legal form of a "special legal person of private law" ( 特別 民間 法人 , Tokubetsu Minkan Hōjin ). In 1943 the bank took on its current name.
