TL;DR

Tomato Bank, Ltd. (株式会社トマト銀行) is a second regional bank headquartered in Okayama City, Okayama Prefecture, holding a bank license under the Banking Act and listed in the FSA’s bank-license list. Its lineage is the Kurashiki Mujin founded in 1931 年, which in 1989 年 converted from the Sanyo Sogo Bank into an ordinary bank and took its current trade name — Okayama Prefecture’s only second regional bank. Its business is the standard second-regional-bank model centered on Okayama Prefecture, deposit-taking and lending to SMEs / individuals, and it is treated as a local peer of the first regional bank bank of china.

2. Operating model

Tomato Bank is a second regional bank that, centered on Okayama Prefecture, handles retail deposits, SME finance, local consumer banking, and regional relationship services. Whereas the first regional bank bank of china is the primary regional-bank anchor within the prefecture, Tomato Bank is organized as the second-regional-bank exact-name anchor. In neighboring prefectures it forms a Chugoku-region peer set with Tottori Bank and Hiroshima Bank. For the Chugoku regional-bank consolidation context, see Regional bank consolidation pattern.
