Bank of Korea
The Bank of Korea, the so-called "Korean bank" of Japan, was actually a Korean bank established by Japanese imperialism in Seoul in November 1909 (it was also called Seoul at that time, and was renamed "capital" since 1910). In 1910, Korea was illegally annexed by Japan, and the use of the title "Korea" was banned.

brief introduction
It was renamed "capital" bank, and its head office was established in "capital", with a total initial capital of 2.5 million yen. The president is appointed by the Japanese government, which owns three tenths of the shares. The governor of Japan in North Korea is appointed to directly control and supervise the bank. At the same time, the manager is given the power to issue currency. In essence, the Bank of Korea has become the Central Bank of Japan's colonial rule over the Korean Peninsula and the official Bank of Japan in the name of the colony.
Bank of Korea's early activities were limited to the Korean Peninsula. In 1913, chief financial officer of Japan's Tibet Province, Mr. Shengtian Zhuji, took the post of the second president, and put forward the policy of "xianman economic integration". The bank successively opened 26 branches in Shanghai, Shenyang, Dalian, Fushun, Changchun, Tianjin, Beijing, Qingdao, Jinan and other places in China. In November 1916, the Bank of Korea obtained the privilege of the former Yokohama Zhengjin bank to act as an agent for the treasury business in Northeast China, and the amount of banknotes issued in Northeast China greatly exceeded that of Yokohama Zhengjin bank. The total capital of the bank expanded rapidly, reaching 80 million yen at the highest time.
After the outbreak of World War II, Japan's power in the Northeast increased, and the Bank of Korea expanded to 13 branches in the northeast. In 1917, the Japanese government reorganized its financial system in Northeast China, and decided to transfer the issuing right of gold bills and Treasury agency business of Zhengjin bank to the Bank of Korea, which became the "central bank" and commercial and financial center of Japan in Northeast China.
Change and dissolution
On December 3, 1936, in order to strengthen its financial system in Northeast China, the Japanese government reorganized Korean bank, Zhenglong bank, Manchuria bank and their branches in Northeast China into Manchuria Industrial Bank, which was jointly invested by the puppet government and Japan.
