## Geographic presence

BOC Hong Kong Holdings’ principal operating base is Hong Kong. Its geographic business footprint also includes the Chinese Mainland, Southeast Asia and other overseas markets; in some of these markets, the group works with Bank of China entities, so this broader reach does not necessarily represent locations operated directly by the group [5](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P141328971)[10](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P161439208)[13](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P161439210).

The group identifies a Southeast Asian presence through BOC Thailand and BOC Malaysia, and branches in Ho Chi Minh City, Manila, Jakarta, Phnom Penh, Vientiane, Brunei and Yangon [14](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P161439244). Its 2026 interim reporting notes growth in income from Southeast Asian-related businesses, but does not provide a geographic revenue breakdown or employee distribution by location [15](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P161439242).

## Company history

Bank of China established its Hong Kong presence in September 1917, providing the historical roots of the group’s Hong Kong banking operations. On 1 October 2001, Bank of China consolidated the businesses of 10 of its 12 Hong Kong banking entities into Bank of China (Hong Kong) Limited (BOCHK). BOC Hong Kong (Holdings) Limited was incorporated on 12 September 2001 and listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on 25 July 2002, with BOCHK as its principal operating subsidiary. [5](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P141328971)[W1][W2]

A major milestone followed on 31 December 2003, when BOCHK was appointed Hong Kong’s renminbi clearing bank. In 2016 and 2017, the group expanded selected regional operations through acquisitions in Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia, while completing the disposals of Nanyang Commercial Bank and Chiyu Banking Corporation. In 2025, BOCHK agreed to acquire BOC International Limited’s private-banking business; the acquisition was completed in January 2026. [W3][W4][W5][W6][W7][W8][W9]
