MELBOURNE Bank of China was formally established in February 1912 following the approval of Dr. Sun Yat-sen. From 1912 to 1949, the Bank served consecutively as the country’s central bank, international exchange bank and specialist foreign trade bank, and fulfilled its commitment to serving the public and developing China’s financial services sector. Prudent management and progressive reforms resulted in many significant achievements across the Bank’s diversified business operations. After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, with a long history in acting as the state-designated specialist foreign exchange bank, Bank of China became China’s important opening-up window to the world and the key foreign exchange financing channel. Transformed from a specialist foreign exchange bank into a state-owned commercial bank in 1994, Bank of China began a joint stock restructuring in 2003, which resulted in Bank of China Limited being incorporated in August 2004 and listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and the Shanghai Stock Exchange in June and July 2006 respectively, becoming the first Chinese commercial bank listed in domestic and overseas capital markets.
As the most international and diversified bank in China, Bank of China provides a comprehensive range of financial services to customers across the Chinese mainland, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan and 31 overseas countries and regions. The Bank’s core business is commercial banking, including corporate banking, personal banking and financial markets services. BOCI, one of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, is the Bank’s investment banking arm. BOCG Insurance and BOC Insurance run the Bank’s insurance business. BOCG Investment, a wholly owned subsidiary, undertakes the Bank’s direct investment and investment management business. BOCIM, its controlling subsidiary, operates the Bank’s fund management business. BOC Aviation is in charge of the Bank’s aircraft leasing business.
Bank of China has upheld the spirit of “pursuing excellence” throughout its near hundred-year history. It is widely recognised within the industry and by its customers for its prudent operations, principle of integrity and customer-centric business concepts. With historical opportunities now arising, Bank of China will actively promote its innovative, transformative and cross-border approaches to development and remain focused on its goal of becoming a premier international bank.
