We regard this Subsidiary Acquisition as an important strategic initiative toward establishing a competitive financial group centered on the securities business, as well as a historic step toward propelling the Group into its next stage of growth.”
Naoto Shimomura, President and Representative Director, Daiwa Next Bank: “Since commencing operations 15 years ago, Daiwa Next Bank has achieved steady growth as a gateway bank to the securities business.

The ideal partner for unlocking its full potential is ORIX Bank, with its sophisticated credit expertise and strong lending track record. By combining the strengths of the two banks, we are confident that a significant path has opened up for making full use of our deposit base.
