Commercial bank

I think it is short for "商業銀行" which is "commercial bank" in English.

According to the following URL, it is the same as 普通銀行:

Of course, it could be as Duncan suggests short for 商銀信用組合

I think Duncan's is more likely, but with Japanese abbreviations you never know.
neutral Duncan Adam : Yes, that does seem the obvious translation, but unless the context suggests otherwise I ewould think it refers to credit unions, which are specifically *not* banks. Hard to say without context though!

credit union

As far as I am aware, shogin are always credit unions for Korean residents of Japan - they are not officially banks. Depending on context, you might use the term 'shogin' in your translation, as many of them use this in their English name, e.g. "Hiroshima Shogin".

agree casey : Good possibility.

It seems 'shogin credit cooperative' is frequently used by the DICJ, but 'credit union' sounds more familiar to me in English.
