Bank of China is the oldest mainland Chinese bank and was founded in 1912 by the government to replace Daqing Bank. In 1949, after the end of the Chinese civil war, the bank was effectively split in two; one half relocated to Taiwan and was privatised, while the rest remained on the mainland and known as Bank of China.
Bank of China has branches and operations on all five of the world’s continents, in countries such as Brazil, Japan, Australia, Russia, Hungary, Vietnam, Indonesia and the UK. The London office, established in 1929, was not only the first overseas operation for Bank of China but for any Chinese bank.
In 2007, the Financial Services Authority gave Bank of China permission to establish an official UK subsidiary – Bank of China UK.
Bank of China offers banking services to personal and business customers.
Business customers are assigned a dedicated relationship manager, who will learn the needs of the business and assist with your specific requirements.
