Established on May 20, 1946, Bank of Taiwan (BOT) is the flagship, wholly government-owned bank of Taiwan. Initially performing many central banking functions, it transitioned into a purely commercial bank following the establishment of the Central Bank of the Republic of China (Taiwan) in 1961. Today, BOT operates as a leading financial institution in Taiwan, offering a full suite of services including retail banking (deposits, loans, credit cards), corporate banking, foreign exchange, international trade financing, and wealth management to individuals, businesses, and government entities. With an extensive domestic network and numerous overseas branches, its mission is to support Taiwan's economic development and serve the public's financial needs.
