First Commercial Bank and China Construction Bank strike deal

The Taiwanese lender has already opened a branch in Shanghai and a financial leasing company in Suzhou.

First Commercial Bank, a subsidiary of Taipei-based First Financial Holding Co., announced Tuesday that it has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with China Construction Bank (CCB) from mainland China to facilitate "comprehensive business cooperation."

First Commercial Bank said that with the increased trade exchanges across the Taiwan Strait, the amount of letters of credit (LOCs) from China has surpassed 20 percent of all the LOCs it receives, and that it will continue its business expansion in China.
