Mizuho completes European reorganization into a universal bank
Mizuho Financial Group announced that Amsterdam-based Mizuho Bank Europe, a subsidiary of Mizuho Bank, has merged with Frankfurt-based Mizuho Securities Europe, a subsidiary of Mizuho Securities. As the surviving entity, Mizuho Bank Europe has successfully commenced operations under its new universal bank structure, offering a fully integrated banking and securities business, as of April 7, 2025.
In the Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) region, Mizuho focuses on primary market business and has recently gone through a period of transformation towards a Corporate and Investment Banking model, optimizing its entity/operating structure. In the EU, with its transition to a universal bank model, Mizuho Bank Europe will be better able to provide comprehensive financial services and meet its valued clients’ expectations.
Mizuho has reorganized its footprint in the EU into four offices in Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Madrid, and Paris. As a result of the reorganization, all transactions booked in the Brussels, Dusseldorf, Milan, and Vienna offices have been transferred to Mizuho Bank Europe offices in other locations.
In responding to the changes in economic environments and the diversification of client needs, this transformation ensures an agile and sustainable business model. Mizuho will continue to expand its service capabilities on a global basis and will remain committed to strengthening its presence and competitiveness in EMEA’s financial markets.
