The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi was itself a product of the 1996 merger between the Bank of Tokyo and Mitsubishi Bank — at the time the largest bank merger in Japanese history. This traveler's cheque series, printed by Toppan in Tokyo, was issued under that transitional identity before the institution rebranded again following the 2005 merger with UFJ Holdings to form BTMU.

Toppan's security printing division has long handled high-specification intaglio work, and traveler's cheques from this issuer are occasionally found with countersignature lines unused — redeemed but never actually signed, a processing anomaly at the point of encashment rather than a printing error.
