About Us

Overview

Mizuho Bank (Malaysia) Berhad (formerly known as Mizuho Corporate Bank (Malaysia) Berhad) (“Mizuho Malaysia”) was incorporated locally in Malaysia on November 29, 2010 and officially commenced operations in September 2011. It is part of the Mizuho Financial Group and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Mizuho Bank, Ltd., which is headquartered in Tokyo. With a long history of over 140 years and approximately 60,000 employees, the Mizuho group serves customers worldwide from offices in Japan and 38 other countries and territories in Asia-Pacific, the Americas, and Europe, Middle East & Africa.

To date, Malaysia and Japan have enjoyed a long standing and complementary relationship in trade and investment, especially since the 1980s when the Government of Malaysia decided to put an emphasis on its “Look East Policy”, which paved a greater avenue for collaborations between the two countries. Since then, there have been many Japanese investors that have made foreign direct investment in Malaysia. Mizuho Malaysia is dedicated to serving these bilateral economic and trade exchanges by providing sophisticated financial solutions and quality banking services. As recognition of our capabilities and strong commitment to support and aim to foster closer economic and cultural ties between Malaysia and Japan, Mizuho Malaysia was appointed lead arranger and successfully arranged a JPY2,000 billion Samurai Bond issuance by the Ministry of Finance, Malaysia in March 2019.

From our main office in Kuala Lumpur, Mizuho Malaysia provides a range of attractive and comprehensive financial services in corporate finance, trade finance, forex & derivatives, cash management, Islamic finance and advisory to multinationals and corporate clients in Malaysia.

Mizuho Malaysia is now progressing to the next level to expand our advisory services. The Mizuho group’s extensive global network enables Mizuho Malaysia to connect, support and assist our clientele on cross-border opportunities, building solid business foundations, strategies for business growth, as well as overseas expansion.

Our advisory services include assistance to establish a foothold in new markets by connecting and engaging reputable professional service providers in the areas of administrative, legal and tax advisory on the ground. In addition to promoting and facilitating foreign direct investment in Malaysia and Japan, Mizuho Malaysia provides business matching and alliance opportunities between corporates from both countries.
