| In 1962, Cathay
Bank opened for business with the mission of providing financial
services to the growing but underserved Chinese-American
community in the greater Los Angeles area, thus becoming the first
Chinese-American bank in Southern California. Recognizing that the
community it served was part of a more diverse one, Cathay Bank
adopted the motto "An Open Door for All." Its rapid expansion
was fueled by successive waves of immigration, burgeoning trade
between America and Asia, and the economic development of the surrounding
community. Since its inception, when it only had $550,000 in capital,
Cathay Bank has thrived and is now part of a publicly traded financial
institution with stockholder equity of approximately $971 million
and total assets of $10.4 billion. Its service network extends from
the West Coast to New York and Massachusetts on the Eastern Seaboard,
north to the state of Washington, and south to Texas. Overseas,
it has a presence in the three important commercial centers in
the Asian-Pacific Rim-Taipei, Shanghai,
and Hong Kong.
Cathay Bank, with years of history
and experience, is committed to providing a broad spectrum of personal
and commercial financial services.
