History
Wing Hang Bank was established in 1937 in Canton. The bank set up its first subsidiary in Macau in 1941. In 1973 Wing Hang Bank was acquired by Irving Trust, a US bank, which in 1988 merged with Bank of New York, which began gradually to sell out its share in the Hong Kong bank. In 2003 Wing Hang Bank was acquired by a medium-sized Hong Kong-based Chekiang First Bank (established in 1907 in Hangzhou). In late July 2014, Wing Hang Bank became a subsidiary of Singapore financial group Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation (OCBC) and changed its name to OCBC Wing Hang Bank. 2023, OCBC Wing Hang Bank Limited has changed its legal name to OCBC Bank (Hong Kong) Limited
