The Dai-Ichi Bank (Japanese: 第一銀行, lit. 'First Bank'), known from its establishment in 1873 to 1896 as Dai-Ichi Kokuritsu Bank (lit. 'First National Bank') was a major Japanese bank headquartered in Tokyo. Founded and developed for several decades by Shibusawa Eiichi, it expanded into Korea as early as 1878, and became that country's dominant bank as well as its bank of issue in the early 1900s, before handing over that role to the newly established Bank of Korea in 1909.
