Dai-Ichi Kangyo Bank
The Dai-ichi Kangyo Bank, Limited, abbreviated as DKB (第一勧銀, Dai'ichi Kangin), was one of the largest banks in the world during the latter third of the 20th century. It was created in 1971 by merger of Dai-Ichi Bank, Japan's oldest bank, and Nippon Kangyo Bank, a state financial institution that granted long-term loans to industry and agriculture.
