The predecessor of BOC Macau was “Nam Tung Bank (Macao)”, established by the patriotic businessman Mr. Zhuang Shiping on June 21, 1950, with Mr. Ke Lin serving as its first Chairman. On New Year’s Day 1987, “Nam Tung Bank (Macao)” was officially renamed as Bank of China Macau Branch (hereinafter referred to as the Branch), becoming the ninth overseas branch of Bank of China. On November 21, 2022, Bank of China (Macau) Limited (hereinafter referred to as the Subsidiary) commenced external operations, establishing a new dual-license operating structure of “Branch + Subsidiary” in Macao. Together, they provide more efficient financial services to Macao society and the general public.

BOC Macau steadfastly follows the path of financial development with Chinese characteristics, fully implements the strategic deployment of the Central Financial Work Conference, and focuses on delivering the “five major priorities” in financial work. As a key node in the Bank of China Group’s global strategy under the new circumstances, BOC Macau shoulders critical responsibilities, including serving as the note-issuing agent for Macau pataca, the agent bank for the government treasury, the Chairman bank of the Macao Association of Banks, the clearing bank for Hong Kong dollar and US dollar interbank bills, and the RMB clearing bank in Macao. In the local market, the combined market share of the Branch and the Subsidiary in core businesses such as deposits, loans, and profits accounts for approximately 40%, maintaining the top ranking for an extended period.

While achieving high-quality development, BOC Macau actively fulfills its social responsibilities and provides strong support for Macao’s education, sports, culture, and public affairs. In 2020, the Macao SAR Government conferred upon BOC Macau the “Silver Lotus Honour Medal”, the highest honor awarded to enterprises in the SAR to date. This marked the second time the bank received such a prestigious honor, following the “Industrial and Commercial Merit Medal” awarded in 2010, reflecting broad recognition from the government and society of the Bank of China brand and its services. In recent years, BOC Macau has consistently received accolades from international authoritative institutions such as The European, Euromoney, and World Finance, continuously enhancing its brand influence.

For over seven decades, BOC Macau has remained true to its founding principles of patriotism and love for Macao, actively integrating into the national development landscape, supporting the Macao SAR Government in administering law-based governance, and cultivating political talent for the region. In the 2025 Legislative Assembly elections, three employees were successfully re-elected, one of whom serves as Vice President of the Legislative Assembly, making BOC Macau the only enterprise in Macao with employees serving in the Legislative Assembly. Additionally, multiple employees concurrently hold positions as members of the Executive Council, Economic Development Commission, Supervisory Committee of the Monetary Authority of Macao, Advisory Committee of the Monetary Authority of Macao, and Talent Development Committee of the Macao SAR Government. Over 10 employees serve as members of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) at various levels on the mainland, and more than 150 employees hold concurrent roles in over 180 local associations.

At the beginning of the 15th Five-Year Plan period, BOC Macau will continue to serve as a pivotal pillar in the Bank of China Group’s global strategy under the new circumstances. The bank will actively contribute to building a strong financial nation, promote financial culture with Chinese characteristics, support the Macao SAR Government in law-based governance, and leverage financial strength to help realize the vision of a “Rule-of-Law Macao”, “Dynamic Macao”, “Cultural Macao”, and “Happy Macao”. BOC Macau remains committed to making greater contributions to Macao’s economic and social prosperity and stability, and to ensuring the steady and long-term success of the distinctive “One Country, Two Systems” practice in Macao.
