China Banking Corp. (China Bank) is set to open more branches this year amid rationalization and digital push.
Following the listing ceremony of its long-term negotiable certificates of deposits (LTNCD) in Makati, the Sy-led lender said China Bank will open eight more branches until December.
“We will open 12 branches this year. So far, we have opened four,” China Bank First Vice-President for Retail Banking Jose L. Osmeña, Jr. said Thursday. — Karl Angelo N. Vidal
