Wiki route
This page keeps the existing route under cooperative-banks INDEX but corrects the legal entity to Fukuoka Hibiki Shinkin Bank. Read it with Japan shinkin bank registry and Shinkin Central Bank, the sector’s central financial institution, and distinguish it from Kitakyushu Bank, a separate ordinary bank.
TL;DR
There is no corporation named ``Kitakyushu Shinkin Bank’’ in the Financial Services Agency’s current list of Shinkin banks. The current Shinkin Bank headquartered in Yahatahigashi Ward, Kitakyushu City is Fukuoka Hibiki Shinkin Bank (corporate number 8290805003979). Its official history is that it started out as the Yawata Shomin Bank, which was established in 1924, and in 2001 it merged with the Wakamatsu Shinkin Bank, changing its name to the Fukuoka Hibiki Shinkin Bank, and in 2003, it merged with the Shin-Kitakyushu, Moji, Chikjo, and Nogata Shinkin Banks. The previous version’s fictitious corporate names and unresolvable domains have been withdrawn. ^[Sources: https://www.fsa.go.jp/menkyo/menkyoj/shinkin.xlsx; https://www.fukuokahibiki.co.jp/info.php; https://www.fukuokahibiki.co.jp/about/disclosure2024.php.]
