Shinsei Bank's complete shareholder structure can be accessed here.

Shinsei Bank is the successor of the Long-Term Credit Bank of Japan, which had a government monopoly on the issuance of long-term debt securities. Following the collapse of the Japanese asset price bubble in 1989, the bank was riddled with bad debts and the government nationalized it in 1998. LTCB was relaunched as Shinsei Bank (literally "Newborn") in June 2000, with new management and services. Shinsei Bank provides financial products and services to both institutional and individual customers. Shinsei Bank became a member of the SBI Group in December 2021 and was renamed to SBI Shinsei Bank.

Accountability
Grievances

Shinsei Bank operates a complaints channel which can be accessed here.

Shinsei Bank is an Equator Principles signatory. While the Equator Principles have no official grievance mechanism, complaints relating to this bank's financing of Equator Principles projects can be filed through our own website www.equator-complaints.org.

This page evaluates SBI Shinsei Bank's responses to instances of alleged human rights violations linked to its finance, raised by civil society organisations. It is not intended to be exhaustive, but covers selected impacts raised by BankTrack and other civil society partners since 2016. For the full scoring methodology, see here. For more information about BankTrack's evaluation of bank responses to human rights impacts, see the 2021 report "Actions speak louder: assessing bank responses to human rights violations".
