China Bank scores 3-peat in governance

China Banking Corporation (China Bank) was named Best Bank for Corporate Governance Philippines 2018 and Best Investor Relations Bank Philippines 2018 by UK-based financial portal and print magazine Global Banking & Finance Review for the third year in a row.

“Good corporate governance is the cornerstone of our business, and as a listed company, investor relations is crucial to our success,” said China Bank President William C. Whang.

He added that, “we are grateful to be recognized anew for our efforts in these fields, which we are driven to excel in to continue earning and deserving the trust and confidence of our stakeholders.”
