2. Operating model
The Shizuoka Bank is a regional bank handling Shizuoka Prefecture’s retail deposits, SME finance, manufacturing main-bank relationships, cross-border / overseas support, and wealth-management services. Shizuoka Prefecture is not consolidated around a single dominant bank but is a competitive market in which Shimizu Bank, Suruga Bank, and Shizuoka Chuo Bank coexist, and within it this bank is the center in scale and transaction base. For the consolidation-pressure curve bearing on regional banks as a whole, see Regional bank consolidation pattern.
