In addition to providing Bank of East Asia (BEA) (China) with a foothold in central China, the Wuhan branch will enable the bank to capture opportunities arising from economic development in the area. With nearly 90 years of operating experience in China and a network on the mainland, BEA (China) believes that it is well-positioned to contribute to the ongoing development of Wuhan and Hubei Province.

The chairman of BEA (China), David Li, said: The opening of Wuhan branch reflects our commitment to expanding our network on the mainland. Not only is the branch the first to be opened by BEA (China) since its establishment, it is also our first outlet operating in central China. Wuhan branch will serve the diverse banking and financial needs of our customers in Wuhan and throughout Hubei Province.
