MUFG 20 year anniversary
MUFG celebrated its 20 year anniversary since its establishment in 2005.

MESSAGE

In October 2025, MUFG celebrated its 20 year anniversary.

This is all thanks to the understanding and support of our customers and other stakeholders, as well as the efforts of our seniors and current MUFG colleagues. I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude.

Looking back over the past 20 years, MUFG has made the following three major strides toward becoming a major company with more than 150,000 colleagues worldwide.
・From Day One, building a solid Group foundation.
・Fortifying our global presence in response to changes in the environment.
・Keen focus on business models, digitalization, and cultural transformation.

An abiding commitment underpinning our activities has been to work together with our customers and other stakeholders to solve problems facing society.

Society will of course continue to evolve, sometimes in dramatic fashion.

Given that fact, and our stated purpose to be “Committed to empowering a brighter future,” we accept society’s expectation for MUFG to respond with flexibility to changes in the environment and contribute to the ongoing success of customers and society at large.

Based on the trust and credibility we have built over time, we will make the most of our global networks and the Group's comprehensive capabilities to enable a flourishing future and continued growth together with our stakeholders.

We ask for your continued support in the years to come.

Hironori Kamezawa
President & Group CEO

CONCEPT

Carrying our gratitude for the past 20 years to the transformation of the next 20.

HISTORY

Two decades ago, a bold vision brought us together ? rooted in unity, partnership and a shared purpose. We were a group of different entities, each with its heritage and identities. But together, we became something greater.

We became Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group - MUFG.

Today, MUFG is one of the world’s largest financial groups with 140,000 colleagues in 2,000 locations across 40 markets.

As we celebrate the achievements of the last 20 years, we will venture forward with greater enthusiasm and passion towards more decades of growth.

Driven by an unwavering pursuit of excellence, MUFG continues to evolve, while remaining steadfast in our commitment to earning your trust and empowering a brighter future.
