A sterling reputation is hard-earned. It involves the synthesis of a countless number of little things, each one done very well indeed. Great banks do the right things right — over and over again.

Mizuho — Banking Beyond Limits presents the findings of a multi-year, independent study on the bank’s wholesale banking reputation. This first-of-its-kind research captures the perspectives of 4,039 key decision-makers from Fortune Global 500 and Forbes Global 2000 companies, offering an unparalleled look into how business clients perceive Mizuho. They evaluated Mizuho’s wholesale banking performance across six critical dimensions: client focus, external engagement, competitiveness, leadership and employee quality, innovativeness, and business model efficiency and effectiveness.

Reputations have immense economic value. Ultimately, business clients rely on their grasp of Mizuho’s reputation to justify their decisions. Credibility turns out to be the real currency of exchange.
