BEST BANK
Chinatrust Commercial Bank

BEST EQUITY HOUSE

BEST DEBT HOUSE
Chinatrust Financial Holding

As Taiwan’s overbanked market starts to undergo much-needed consolidation, the Taiwanese government is aiming to develop a few regional banking champions. Top of the list of candidates will be Chinatrust Commercial Bank, Taiwan’s ninth-largest bank by assets but probably its best managed, and the winner again of the best bank in Taiwan award.

Chinatrust is a full-service retail and corporate banking business with a leading position in retail finance, especially credit cards, as well as debt financing.
