Société générale (English spelling)

Japanese: ソシエテ・ジェネラル(英語表記)Société générale
Société générale (English spelling)
A French deposit bank. It is one of the four major deposit banks in France, along with Crédit Lyonnais, the Bank of Commerce and Industry, and the Banque National de Paris (the successor to the Banque de Paris Discount Bank). Its head office is in Paris. It was founded in Paris in 1864 by influential Parisian bankers and industrialists who were in conflict with Crédit Mobilier, as a "mixed bank" that would handle all financial activities, including long-term industrial financing, in addition to regular banking. From the beginning, the bank actively opened branches and offices in Paris and the provinces, and by 1970 it had opened 47 branches, becoming the first French bank to complete a nationwide branch network.

Societe Generale [Société générale de Belgique]

The largest holding company in Belgium, it has formed a conglomerate with its headquarters in Brussels. It was established in 1822 by merchants and financiers in Brussels as a bank issuing bank to overcome currency confusion and facilitate foreign exchange transactions. When King William I of the Netherlands, who ruled Belgium at the time, approved it, he significantly amended the articles of incorporation, invested a large amount himself, and changed the company's character to that of a subcontractor for national finances. It also avoided the word "bank" in its name and changed it to "Société générale des Pays‐Bas pour favoriser l'industrie nationale" (Company for the Promotion of Industry in the Netherlands).
