About Bank of China London Branch

Established in 1929, the Bank of China London Branch is the first-ever Chinese financial institution to set up in a global financial center. Its history in the UK is a perfect illustration of the international journey undertaken by China’s modern financial services industry. Over the past 95 years, Bank of China has been steadily expanding in the UK and has become the first choice for both Chinese “going out” clients and local UK clients seeking to establish relationships with China. The Bank today operates branches in the City of London, London Chinatown, Manchester, Birmingham and Glasgow. To implement Bank of China Group’s globalization strategy, the Bank has established the EMEA Syndication Center, London Commodity Business Center, London Trading Center and Debt Capital Market Center. Bank of China London Branch has, moreover, become the main product and customer service center for the Bank of China Group across the whole EMEA region. As one of the mainstream foreign banks in the European market, Bank of China London Branch will continue to support local business and expand international business, while serving as a bridge for trade, commerce, friendship and cooperation between China and the UK.
