The Shanghai Commercial and Savings Bank (simplified Chinese: 上海商业储蓄银行; traditional Chinese: 上海商業儲蓄銀行; pinyin: Shànghǎi Shāngyè Chúxù Yínháng) is a bank headquartered in Taipei, Taiwan.
History
In 1954, the bank was allowed to establish its head office to prepare for the operation of business.
It was not until June 1965 that the bank was approved to start its operation in Taiwan with a capital of NT$15 million. Chen was the chairman, and the bank acted conservatively.
The Savings Department and Kaohsiung Branch were set up in 1966 and 1971, respectively.
