Its international footprint includes branches and representative offices in key global financial centers such as Hong Kong, Singapore, London, New York, and Sydney. These overseas operations enable the bank to cater to cross-border trade financing, global treasury services, and yuan settlement for multinational corporations and overseas Chinese communities.
