Hang Seng Bank (China) Limited (‘Hang Seng China’) today announced that it has received approval from the China Banking Regulatory Commission to commence preparation work for establishing a branch in Xiamen, Fujian Province. 

The Xiamen branch will be the second branch set up by Hang Seng China in the West Coast Economic Zone, the first being Fuzhou branch.

“Strategically located, Xiamen is of great importance to the West Coast Economic Zone. Benefiting from increasing economic and trade exchanges in Fujian, the city’s financial services sector can anticipate continued progress and prosperity,” said Mrs Sit. “Confident about prospects for local as well as regional development, Hang Seng China is committed to bringing customer focused services to Xiamen.”
