(CNA, Taipei, May 19, by reporter Su Su-yun) After opening on May 1, Taipei Fubon Bank's Tokyo branch in Japan held a celebratory opening reception on May 18. The bank stated that the Tokyo branch will focus on corporate finance, offering services like syndicated loans, project finance, and trade finance. It will connect with the New Southbound markets, thereby improving the integration and real-time capabilities of its regional financial platform.
Taipei Fubon Bank held a ribbon-cutting ceremony and opening reception for its Tokyo branch yesterday, with Chairman Tsai Ming-hsing leading senior executives to Japan to preside over the event, demonstrating the high importance placed on the Tokyo branch and the Japanese market.
In a press release, the bank noted that with the recent restructuring of global industrial chains, the demand from multinational corporations for financial services has evolved from mere capital provision to seeking long-term partners who understand industries, are familiar with markets, and can provide comprehensive support. The Tokyo branch, with corporate finance at its core, will leverage the resources of the head office and Fubon Group to offer professional services such as syndicated loans, project finance, and trade finance, providing one-stop solutions.
Furthermore, Japan's financial market has a mature system with detailed requirements for corporate financing structures and risk management. The Tokyo branch will deepen its grasp of different industry cycles, capital structures, and market conditions through practical operations. Combined with the head office's diverse and flexible product lines and professional talent familiar with the local market, it will provide customized solutions and services for corporate clients.
The bank stated that its overseas business development is robust. By 2025, the pre-tax net profit and loan balance of its overseas branches had already ranked among the top 3 private banks in Taiwan. As of the end of the first quarter of this year, the overseas loan balance had grown by about 15% compared to the end of last year. The Tokyo branch will complete its overseas business footprint, bringing experience accumulated in different markets to Japan and transforming it into financial support that more closely meets the actual needs of businesses, thereby promoting a closer and more stable cooperative relationship between Taiwanese and Japanese industries.
Currently, Taipei Fubon Bank has branches in Hong Kong, Vietnam, and Singapore, with representative offices in Indonesia, Australia, and South Korea, and is actively preparing for the establishment of branches in Australia and India. The addition of the Tokyo branch is expected to strengthen regional operational capacity and propel overseas development into a new phase. (Editor: Chang Chun-mao)
