BEA China

The Bank of East Asia Limited ("BEA") was founded in Hong Kong in 1918 and is currently the largest independent local bank in Hong Kong. As early as 1920, BEA recognized the huge development potential of the mainland market and established its first branch in Shanghai, maintaining uninterrupted business in the mainland for over 90 years. With more than 90 years of experience in the mainland, BEA offers customers one-stop banking services, serving as your key to successfully exploring the Chinese market.

In March 2007, BEA was officially approved by the China Banking Regulatory Commission to establish a foreign-funded legal entity bank in the mainland. The subsidiary bank is named The Bank of East Asia (China) Limited ("BEA China") and officially commenced operations on April 2, 2007.

Headquartered in Shanghai Pudong, BEA China inherits BEA's extensive mainland banking and financial business network, providing a wider range of banking and financial products and services to a broad customer base, particularly mainland residents.

BEA China is one of the foreign-funded legal entity banks in the mainland with the most extensive network. Headquartered in Shanghai, it currently operates 128 outlets across 40 mainland cities, including the Shanghai head office, 29 branches, and 99 sub-branches.
