Korea Development Bank Tokyo Branch

Wiki route

This entry sits under foreign-financial-institutions INDEX. Read it against Woori Bank Tokyo for peer / contrast context and banking index for the broader system / regulatory boundary.

TL;DR

Korea Development Bank Tokyo Branch is the Japan branch of Korea Development Bank listed in the FSA foreign bank branch list. As a Korean policy-bank / development-bank corridor, it handles project finance, shipping / aircraft finance, syndicated loans, trade finance, and cross-border corporate finance.

1. License / branch boundary

2. Operating model

KDB’s Tokyo branch page states that the branch was opened in 1991 after a Tokyo office that began in 1969. It describes the branch as important to KDB’s global business, providing project finance, ship and aircraft finance, syndicated loans, trade finance, and customized solutions to Korean companies in Japan, Japanese companies, and multinationals.

The page should therefore sit partly in foreign-bank branch analysis and partly in policy-finance adjacency.
