Welcome to First Commercial Bank

Established in 1899

First Commercial Bank is the outgrowth of merger of the Savings Bank of Taiwan (established in 1899), Chia-I Bank (established in 1905), The Commercial and Industrial Bank of Taiwan (established in 1910), and Hsin-Kao Bank (established in 1916). Of these four banks, the Savings Bank of Taiwan and The Commercial and Industrial Bank of Taiwan were previously jointly owned by Chinese and Japanese, while Chia-I Bank and Hsin-Kao Bank were originally owned entirely by Chinese in Taiwan. The Japanese eventually controlled the managements, and the amalgamation took place in its final form in 1923.

Renamed as First Commercial Bank of Taiwan in 1949

After Taiwan was restored to the Republic of China in 1945, the Bank was taken over from the Japanese. Though facing many new problems, it continued its operations and steady growth. In 1949, the Bank was renamed the First Commercial Bank of Taiwan. It has continued to expand on a broad scale under the guidance of the Government and the Board of Directors and with the assistance of the dedicated staff, and above all, the unceasing patronage of the customers. The rate of progress has steadily risen in the last decade as Taiwan trade volume accelerated. For Simplification and internationalization, the name was shorten to first Commercial Bank in 1976.
