The origin of the name of the station is due to the presence of a ground of Yokohama Specie Bank in front of the station, which was later used by Tokyo Bank, its successor, but was closed due to asset restructuring when it became Tokyo Mitsubishi Bank and later Mitsubishi UFJ Bank, and the site was redeveloped by the Mitsui Fudosan group into a high-rise condominium complex called Park City Musashikosugi.
