  • Land Bank of Taiwan has joined the global voluntary carbon reduction initiative "Earth Hour" by turning off signage and exterior lighting at all its 149 branches nationwide. The lights will remain off for three consecutive evenings from Friday, March 21 to Sunday, March 23, 2025, demonstrating the bank's commitment to achieving net-zero emissions.   "Earth Hour" was launched by the World Wildlife Fund in Sydney, Australia in 2007, aiming to raise awareness about climate change issues through the simple act of turning off lights. The movement has now spread to over 190 countries worldwide. In addition to coordinating the lighting shutdown across its 149 domestic operations centers, the Land Bank is encouraging both employees and customers to participate in the initiative. The bank is also promoting the campaign through social media platforms, calling on all sectors to conserve energy and implement carbon reduction practices in daily life, working together toward sustainable development.   In response to Taiwan's 2050 net-zero emissions policy, the Land Bank has implemented both ISO14001 Environmental Management System and ISO50001 Energy Management System standards. The bank is taking a multi-pronged approach through greenhouse gas management, energy and water resource management, replacement of high-energy consumption equipment, and green building certifications. The bank continues to purchase green electricity and has installed rooftop solar power generation systems at its branch locations to increase renewable energy utilization. Last year, the bank's "Nangang Branch High-Efficiency Chiller Project" was registered as a voluntary greenhouse gas reduction offset project, receiving approval from the Ministry of Environment. This marks the first carbon rights project approved nationwide following amendments to the "Climate Change Response Act."   Upholding the principle of environmental sustainability, the Land Bank has also partnered with the Wetlands Taiwan Association and the Leopard Cat Association of Taiwan to strengthen environmental education at the grassroots level. Through these long-term efforts, the bank has received multiple recognitions, including the "Sustainable Finance Award" from the Joint Credit Information Center, as well as the "Sustainability Report Gold Award" and the "Social Inclusion Leadership Award" from the Taiwan Corporate Sustainability Awards (TCSA). The Land Bank aims to leverage its financial influence and dedication to social responsibility to create sustainable value in collaboration with all sectors, working toward a better future for our planet.   Contact: Cheng-Yu Liao Phone: 02-2348-3283

  • In order to capture opportunities in line with the New Southbound Policy, Land Bank’s general manager, Chih-Chien Chang, led a team to inspect the establishment of a new branch in Brisbane, Australia on December 23, 2024. The new branch was successfully opened today, marking the Bank’s 9th overseas branch.   According to the International Trade Administration, MOEA, Australia is one of the Taiwan’s top ten trading partners. Australia exports meat and agricultural products to Taiwan while Taiwan exports hi-tech products to Australia, fostering a mutually beneficial trade relationship. Investment between Taiwan and Australia has reached hundreds of billions of NT dollars, highlighting the strong and active economic ties between the two countries.   In response to market demand and business opportunities, the Bank applied to the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) to establish a branch in Brisbane, demonstrating its determination to expand its global market. The new branch also lays a foundation for the long-term cooperative relationship between Taiwan and Australia.   The Bank pointed out that the Brisbane Branch will initially provide corporate lending, deposit and foreign exchange services, while also developing diversified financial services such as trade finance. Aside from providing services to Taiwanese businessmen and Chinese enterprises, the Bank will also expand its services to Australian enterprises and multinational companies based in Australia. In the future, our Brisbane Branch will serve as an important bridge to facilitate economic and trade exchanges between Taiwan and Australia. The Brisbane Branch’s priority is to provide diverse financial solutions for local companies, foreign companies as well as the Chinese community, supporting business growth and the development of customers in Australia.   Land Bank currently has 148 branches in Taiwan and 9 overseas branches (Los Angeles, Hong Kong, Singapore, Shanghai, New York, Tianjin, Wuhan, Brisbane, and Kuala Lumpur), and is in the process of setting up a branch in Tokyo. As the Land Bank expands its overseas financial footprint, it strengthens its profitability in the international market.   Contact person: Pei-Chun Lai Tel: 02- 2348-3552

  • To create a financial friendly environment, two new features were added to all Land Bank ATMs in December 24, 2024 - “Cross-bank cardless cash withdrawal with QR code” and “Talking ATMs for the visually impaired” which offered more convenient financial services for cross-bank customers and the disadvantaged.   Over the past year, the Bank has been upgrading its UI/UX interface languages, intelligent customer services, push OTP authentications, cross-bank cardless withdrawals with QR Code and talking ATMs. We are proud to announce that all of our ATMs have now been fully upgraded.   To meet the needs of migrant works and tourists, our ATMs support multiple languages: Japanese, Korean, Indonesian, Thai, and Vietnamese. To also strengthen the Bank’s intelligent customer service QR-Codes and OTP authorization services, customers experiencing problems while using the ATM can receive assistance upon scanning the QR Code for the Bank’s online intelligent customer service. Our ATMs can also be used to apply for OTP authentication, enabling quick verification of the customer and making our financial services more user friendly.   We have also introduced two useful features on the ATM - cross-bank cardless cash withdraw with QR-Code and talking ATMs. When customers withdraw cash from an ATM, after selecting Cardless Cash Withdraw and QR-Code option, they can scan their QR-Code and enter their cardless withdrawal pin within two minutes. This saves the user’s time as they no longer need to enter the financial institution code, withdrawal serial number and amount. Our talking ATMs (with deposit feature) allow the visually impaired to make deposits by selecting the Voice Deposit option and inserting their cash into the ATM, easily completing the process.   Pursuant to international standards, the FSC has developed the “Financial Inclusion Indicators for Taiwan”, setting specific benchmarks for accessibility, usability, and quality of financial services. Measurement indices include: the ratio of accessible ATMs, ratio of multi-lingual ATMs, as well as the promotion of bilingual model branches, fair treatment of customers, and dispute resolution mechanisms.   In line with FSC’s policy in meeting the needs of different ethnic groups and nationalities, over 60% of our branches are bilingual (Chinese and English) and we offer forms in Chinese and English, our branch signboards are in Chinese and English, and our staff speak both languages. Our target is to have all branches bilingual by the end of 2027 in order to provide fully diversified and friendly financial services.   At Land Bank, our priority is to create a friendly financial space and treat all customers fairly. We are committed to the systematization of processes, enhancing the conciseness of content of contracts, diversification of cross-industry alliances, and specialization of staff. At the same time, we continue to introduce accessible service counters, accessible ATMs, talking ATMs, sign language interpretation, and waive service charges for cross-bank withdrawals for our customers with disabilities. Dedicated to protecting the rights of vulnerable customers and preventing fraud and financial exploitation, we took the initiative to raise fraud awareness and offer user-friendly Standard Form Contracts and appropriate workflow management measures.   Our years of hard work in this area have been affirmed through winning the FSC's “Fair Treatment of Customers Assessment in the Financial Services Sector” award for six consecutive years, as well as the “TCSA Social Inclusion Leadership Award” for three consecutive years. Over the years, we have assimilated the fair treatment principle into our business DNA to construct a more inclusive and friendly financial space. In doing this, we hope that our customers will have a warm and convenient financial experience, hence establishing a sustainable ecosystem that promotes the prosperity of the bank, society, and the environment.   Contact person: Pei-Chen Hsu Tel: 02- 2348-3852

  • In support of sustainable finance and government policies, the Land Bank of Taiwan collaborated with the Leopard Cat Association of Taiwan (LCAT) from September to November 2024. Together, they organized the "Leopard Cat’s Day" outreach program at six elementary schools across Miaoli County, aiming to raise awareness about natural resource conservation and environmental protection. Additionally, the Bank donated 200 packages of “friendly rice” to local social welfare organizations in Miaoli, integrating social welfare with its environmental initiatives.   Since 2020, the LCAT has partnered with the National Property Administration to adopt a critical leopard cat habitat in Tongxiao, Miaoli. Through regular patrols, ecological monitoring, guided tours, and conservation education, the LCAT has remained committed to protecting these endangered species. The leopard cat, listed as an endangered species under Taiwan’s Act on Wildlife Conservation, primarily inhabits low-altitude areas that overlap with human activity zones. In recent years, the National Property Administration has collaborated with various organizations to map leopard cat habitats and connect marginal public lands for conservation. By allowing environmental groups to adopt these lands, the government aims to improve land management while advancing conservation efforts.   This year, from late September to mid-November, the Bank and LCAT hosted conservation education activities at six Miaoli elementary schools: Ciau Wen, Wugu, Jian-Guo, Jhunan, Nanhe, and Wuhu Elementary Schools. These activities introduced students to the leopard cat, its survival challenges, as well as conservation efforts, while underscoring the importance of environmental sustainability. To further demonstrate its commitment, the Bank distributed 200 packages of naturally farmed “friendly rice” to the Miaoli Family Support Center, providing families with safe, healthy food while supporting eco-friendly farming practices that benefit leopard cat habitats. This initiative brings together collective efforts to implement tangible actions in environmental conservation while showcasing the Bank’s passion for social responsibility and care.   As Taiwan’s only fully state-owned bank, Land Bank of Taiwan is deeply committed to sustainability and social care. Beyond initiatives such as youth badminton summer camps and public welfare education, the Bank collaborates with organizations like the LCAT, Wetlands Taiwan, and I Wan Jan Puppet Theater to bring sustainable environmental and cultural education to schools. The Bank also supports disaster relief efforts, such as offering recovery loans for families and enterprises after the April 3 Hualien Earthquake, and has issued sustainability bonds to fund green and socially beneficial projects, fostering Taiwan’s development while fulfilling its corporate social responsibility.   Contact Person: Chu-lin Li Contact Number: 02-2348-3287

  • In strong support of Taiwan’s silicon wafer industry, the bank has arranged a seven-year ESG-linked syndicated loan for Wafer Works, totaling NTD2.76 billion. The loan was oversubscribed by 184%, reflecting the confidence of domestic banks in Wafer Works' operations. On October 15, 2024, the bank’s General Manager, Chih-Chien Chang, represented the syndicate in signing the credit agreement with Wafer Works' Chairman, Ping-Hai Chiao.   Since 2019, the Executive Yuan has promoted the “Three Major Programs for Investing in Taiwan.” As of August 2024, 1,518 companies have been approved under these programs, with total investments reaching NTD2.3 trillion, creating 153,000 jobs. This initiative has driven investments in Taiwan’s silicon, AI, and electric vehicle industries, with companies like Wafer Works enthusiastically responding.   Wafer Works, the world’s sixth-largest silicon wafer supplier and one of the top three providers of low-resistivity heavily-doped wafers, has repeatedly applied under the “Three Major Programs for Investing in Taiwan.” This year, the company increased its investment by NTD17.3 billion to establish a new plant in the Erlin campus of the Central Taiwan Science Park, targeting the 12-inch wafer market for automotive power devices and power management chips to boost revenue.   In addition to offering comprehensive R&D, manufacturing, and sales services for semiconductor silicon wafers, Wafer Works is also a model of environmental sustainability. The new Erlin plant will include solar power systems, reclaimed water, and waste recycling facilities, aligning its green manufacturing goals with the bank’s commitment to green finance.   To support Wafer Works' continued investment in Taiwan, with a focus on environmental sustainability, the bank proactively took the lead as the arranger for this syndicated loan, inviting eight other financial institutions to participate: Taiwan Cooperative Bank, First Commercial Bank, Bank of Taiwan, Hua Nan Bank, Chang Hwa Bank, Taipei Fubon Bank, Taiwan Business Bank, and Entie Commercial Bank. Initially, the loan amount was set at NTD2.3 billion to refinance existing loans, but due to strong participation from the banks, the final amount reached NTD4.24 billion, demonstrating the banks' confidence in Wafer Works' business prospects.   Furthermore, to encourage Wafer Works to implement green manufacturing, the bank incorporated ESG sustainability measures into the loan terms. By meeting specific targets, the company will be eligible for preferential interest rates, fully embodying the principles of green finance.        In 2024, under the theme “Leading Green Finance, Spreading Wings for Sustainability and Prosperity,” the bank has actively pursued credit agreements with leaders in the circular economy and sustainable energy industries. The bank has promoted sustainable loan programs such as “Low-Carbon Transition and Smart Upgrades Loans,” “Green Building Financing,” and “Renewable Energy Equipment Loans – Green Power, Green Profits Marketing,” helping enterprises seize green energy opportunities. The bank aims to guide corporate partners and individual clients toward sustainability, creating a financial ecosystem where banks, society, and the environment thrive together.   Contact: Tzu-Chen Yang Tel.: 02-2348-3391
