Who we are

Mizuho Americas is the financial institution that combines seemingly disparate things—Japanese culture and American talent, considered risk mitigation and a creative approach, local market knowledge and global reach—to act faster, see further and adapt better in every decision, every day.

Our parent company—Mizuho Financial Group—came together in late 2002, merging three of the largest banks in Japan. With our backing as a financial powerhouse in Asia and our growing presence across the Americas, we’re able to meet local market needs with a combination of truly customized care and approximately $2.1 trillion in assets. The result is a hybrid style of thinking and execution, that’s entirely our own.

 

Bright people with big ideas

From top to bottom, our teams bring together industry expertise and diverse perspectives. It makes for a refreshingly respectful and responsive group of people who care about their clients and can confidently navigate the changing business landscape.
