Bank of China Limited, succursale de Genève

Bank of China Limited, succursale de Genève is the Geneva branch of Bank of China Limited and operates in Switzerland as a foreign bank branch authorized and supervised by FINMA. It focuses on corporate and institutional banking rather than mass‑market retail, serving companies active in trade and investment between Switzerland/Europe and Greater China. Core services typically include multi‑currency current accounts (commonly in CHF, EUR, USD and CNY/RMB), cross‑border payments via SWIFT, domestic CHF clearing via SIC, foreign exchange and liquidity management, documentary trade finance (letters of credit, collections, guarantees) and corporate lending such as working capital and import/export finance. Onboarding follows Swiss anti‑money‑laundering and know‑your‑customer standards, requiring documentation on corporate structure, beneficial owners and source of funds; acceptance criteria and timelines vary by client risk profile, industry and transaction patterns. Pricing is relationship‑based and usually provided case by case, with limited public tariff information. As a bank branch in Switzerland, it participates in the Swiss deposit protection scheme (esisuisse) for eligible deposits booked in Switzerland up to CHF 100,000 per client; coverage conditions and exclusions follow Swiss law and esisuisse rules. The branch is subject to Swiss regulatory reporting, including tax transparency under CRS/AEOI and applicable Swiss sanctions and compliance requirements. This entity is distinct from Bank of China (Suisse) SA, a separate Swiss‑incorporated subsidiary headquartered in Geneva that focuses on private banking and wealth management.
