This article argues that instead of the cultural attributes and/or informal financial institutions, formal financial institutions, such as the ethnic banks studied here, are responsible for the business success of Asians abroad. However, ethnic banks have different development trajectories depending on their respective ethnic communities. Korean American banks are notably different from Chinese American banks in terms of growth, profitability, and banking strategies. Although both ethnic banks exercise relationship banking strategies in their loan portfolios, their deposit compositions are very different and cause significant differences in financial performance. The focus on business loans and high rates of non-interest deposits allow for higher growth rates in Korean American banks. Therefore, relationship banking does not adequately explain the differences of ethnic banks. This research attempts to understand the underlying factors in choosing banking strategies by mainly focusing on the unique examples found in Korean and Chinese immigrant societies. For Chinese Americans, the heterogeneity of their population composition and foreign influence dominate their bank structures. On the other hand, Korean American homogeneity and business orientation are distinctly different. The influence of Korean capital is not significant when compared to overseas Chinese capital. Key Words： Ethnic banking, Korean Americans, Chinese Americans, Relationship banking 1. Introduction Korean Americans have demonstrated significant 1) economic accomplishments despite their relatively 1) Research Backgrounds and Purpose short immigration history.

As of 1997, Asian Business success of Asians abroad is often and Pacific Islander (API) owned businesses explained by certain cultural attributes and/or numbered 912,960 nationwide (4.4% of all informal lending circles (such as Hui in Chinese businesses in U.S.). Among minority-owned and Kye in Korean) that have traditionally been businesses, APIs are behind Hispanics (almost prevalent within Asian American communities 1.2 million), but ahead of African Americans (Geertz, 1956; Light, 1972; Light and Bonacich, (823,499) and Native Americans (197,300), despite 1988; Light and Gold, 2000). However, such the fact that the API population is less than preconceived notions belie today's reality of one-third of African Americans and Hispanics. Chinese and Korean American ethnic banks. Among APIs, Korean owned businesses have Recently, research was collected showing the higher average sales and receipts ($339,000) development of Latino, African American, and when compared to all three minority groups Asian ethnic banks (Li and Dymski, 2002; Li, (Native Americans - $174,000, Hispanics - $ Yu, Dymski and Chee, 2001).

These companies for every 1,000 Asian adults, nearly researchers also indicate that Chinese banks are twice the rate of Hispanics and more than three primary conduits for savings. This allows for times the rate of African Americans (1997 credit flows that provide Chinese ethnic banks Economic Census http://www.census.gov/epcd/mwb97/ an opportunity to play an entrepreneurial role. us/us.html). However Li, Yu, Dymski and Chee (2001) and While there has been much research on Ahn (2003) were able to explain neither the Korean immigrants in the US in the fields of uniqueness of Korean American banks, nor the history, sociology, and anthropology, a notable cause of the differences between Korean and absence is found in the field of economics.

This research the existing studies on economic performance attempts to clear up the cause of the differences have focused mainly on case studies confined to between Korean and Chinese banks.
