What Sumitomo Mitsui Financial does

Japan's second-largest bank, providing retail and corporate banking plus securities (SMBC Nikko) and leasing.

Earns mostly from the lending spread, with fees from securities, leasing, cards and consumer finance. It has been buying into overseas lenders and brokers, including Indonesia's BTPN and Vietnam's VPBank, and a growing stake in the US investment bank Jefferies, to offset slow domestic loan demand.

In one line: Japan's Bank of America.
