The Bank of Saga, Ltd

The Bank of Saga is a regional bank whose primary business base comprises Saga and Fukuoka prefectures in northern Kyushu at the western tip of the Japanese archipelago. The Bank benefits from both this region's location in close proximity to Japan's Asian neighbors and Fukuoka Prefecture's position as Kyushu's economic center. The Bank of Saga's history began with the stablishment of the Imari Bank in 1882 and continued through the merger of a number of banks, mainly in Saga Prefecture, to its establishment as The Bank of Saga in 1955. The Bank, which celebrated the 50th anniversary of its foundation in July 2005, currently enjoys an overwhelming market share in its home prefecture. Our fundamental management policy calls for maintaining close relationships with customers in our region and for ensuring sound management. This policy underpins our efforts as a regional bank to support the promotion and development of local industries and to help ensure the people of our local community a good standard of living, as well as to offer high-quality services that satisfy our customers. We introduced our 11th medium-term management plan in April 2004 with the objective of establishing a familiar image of the Bank as “Sagin-san” ( a way of referring to The Bank of Saga with affinity or affection ) among our customers. As of March 31, 2005, the Bank's balance of deposits (including negotiable certificates of deposit) stood at ¥1,737,247 million (US$16,176 million) on a non-consolidated basis and its total assets at ¥1,891,204 million (US$17,610 million). It had 1,579 full-time employees serving customers through a network of 113 branches.
