Resona Bank in Osaka

Resona Holdings, Inc. ( Japanese 株式会社 り そ な ホ ー ル デ ィ ン グ ス , Kabushiki-gaisha Risona Hōrudingusu ) is a Japanese company with headquarters in Tokyo and Osaka . The company is listed on the Nikkei 225 stock index. The company heads the Resona Group , the fourth largest banking group in Japan.

Resona Holdings was incorporated as Daiwa Bank Holdings, Inc. on December 12, 2001 as a result of the consolidation of Daiwa Bank , Kinki Osaka Bank and Nara Bank . After the acquisition of Asahi Bank on March 1, 2002, the company was renamed Resona Holdings, Inc. on October 1, 2002.

At the beginning of 2003 the company ran into liquidity bottlenecks. These problems rocked the financial system across the country in Japan. On May 17, 2003, the Japanese government decided to give the Resona Group financial aid, which effectively nationalized the company. The Japanese government became the majority shareholder in Resona Holdings . The company's management board at the time was dismissed.

Back in 1995, Daiwa Bank had a financial scandal when financial broker Toshihide Iguchi lost around $ 1.1 billion through financial speculation.
