Taiwan First Commercial Bank ready to open its Macau branch 台灣第一銀行落戶澳門 (台湾第一银行落户澳门)

One of Taiwan's largest privately owned banks, First Commercial Bank, has chosen to open a new branch in Macau. The Monetary Authory in Macau has recently licensed the bank to open its branch.

The branch will be up and running on April 2010 if everything goes well. It will be the second Taiwanese bank to have opened up a branch in Macau after Bank Sinopac. The Macau branch will serve the small to medium-sized Taiwanese firms in the city and neighboring Shenzhen and Dongguan.


台灣第一銀行表示, 已取得澳門金融管理局核准函, 台灣第一銀行將以澳門作為內地金融版圖的前哨站。 澳門分行預估最快2010年四月營運。 台灣第一銀行將是繼永豐銀行第二家成功入澳的台灣銀行。

第一銀行成功申請澳門分行執照後, 已積極尋找分行據點、人員及蒐集當地法規資訊, 待系統設備完成鋪設就可營運, 提供澳門當地與鄰近深圳、東莞等地台商金融服務。

據了解, 台灣國泰世華銀行也希望申請澳門分行執照。
