Mizuho Corporate Bank Head Office in Marunouchi, Tokyo

Mizuho Corporate Bank, Ltd. (株式会社みずほコーポレート銀行, Kabushiki-gaisha Mizuho Kōporēto Ginkō^?), or MHCB, is the corporate and investment banking subsidiary of Mizuho Financial Group, the second-biggest Japanese financial services conglomerate. MHCB was created in April 2002 by the transfer of the Dai-Ichi Kangyo Bank and Fuji Bank's corporate and investment banking division to the Industrial Bank of Japan.

Headquarters are in the Otemachi district of Chiyoda ward, Tokyo, Japan.

Backed by Mizuho Financial Group's credit ratings and financial solidity, MHCB is positioned as a major player in financial markets and among Japan's leading corporate and investment banks by market share.[1] The brokerage arm Mizuho Securities is a primary dealer in the U.S. Treasury securities market.

MHCB will open a branch in Wuxi, China in 2006 in a bid to support transactions with Japanese companies operating in the city. Mizuho will be the first foreign bank to have a branch in Wuxi.
