HUA NAN BANK

Following the retrocession of Taiwan to China on October 25, 1945, Mr. Lin Hsiung-cheng, as Chairman of the Commercial Association of Taiwan, was selected as Taiwan Province representative to participate in the ceremony that reinstated the R.O.C. capital. He also carried out the important mission of seeking support from the R.O.C. authorities to ensure the continued viability of Hua Nan Commercial Bank. He passed away on November 27, 1946. On February 22, 1947, the Bank held a shareholders' meeting, during which Mr. Liu Chi-kuang was nominated by the board to become Chairman... On May 3, 1947, the Bank merged with Taiwan Trust Company, the latter becoming the Bank's newly-formed Trust Department, and increased capital to 25 million Old Taiwan dollars... By June 1948 more than 60 branches staffed with high caliber employees had been established throughout Taiwan. The Bank thus became well-known and highly regarded as a sound and solid financial institution.
