Overview
Taipei Star Bank is the English-language identity associated in the supplied evidence with 瑞興商業銀行 (Ruixing Commercial Bank), also commonly called 瑞興銀行. Its institutional history begins on October 25, 1917, when the 台北稻江信用組合 (Taipei Daojiang Credit Cooperative) began operating in Taipei's Dadaocheng area. The organization subsequently changed names and legal forms several times, moving from a credit cooperative to a commercial bank. The bank's official history records its formal conversion to a commercial bank in 2007, first under the name 稻江商業銀行; it became 大台北銀行 in 2009 and 瑞興商業銀行 in 2013. The bank's services, as represented on its official website, include banking for individuals and businesses, mortgage-related services, online account opening, foreign-exchange information and hedging resources for small and medium-sized enterprises, fund-investment access, payment collection, and digital banking services. Its homepage also features deposit products, policy-related loan information, corporate-governance material, and notices for customers. These offerings position it as a locally oriented commercial bank rather than a diversified international banking group. The supplied reference material describes the institution as a small commercial bank in northern Taiwan. Its predecessor's cooperative origins are reflected in the historical account and in a branch footprint concentrated around Taipei, with a limited presence elsewhere in northern Taiwan. The official history records the establishment of trust and overseas-banking departments in 2009 and 2010, respectively, and a 2018 collaboration with EasyCard Corporation to issue a co-branded financial card. In 2023, the board approved establishing a sustainable-development working group and committee. The evidence does not identify a current parent company, controlling owner, founder, chief executive, or current stock-market listing status. The official history does state that the bank publicly issued shares and applied to register for emerging-stock trading in 2007; this alone does not establish its present listing status. The bank's official website remains active and provides customer, corporate-governance, sustainability, recruitment, and branch-information sections.
History
The institution now known as 瑞興商業銀行 (Ruixing Commercial Bank), also called 瑞興銀行 and identified in the supplied reference as Taipei Star Bank, traces its origins to October 25, 1917. On that date, 台北稻江信用組合 (Taipei Daojiang Credit Cooperative) began operating in Taipei's Dadaocheng district. The official history identifies its early address as a location on what is now Dihua Street. In 1945, following the end of Japanese rule in Taiwan, it was renamed 稻江信用組合. In 1947, it became 台北市第一信用合作社 and established its head-office address at 133, Section 2, Yanping North Road, Taipei. In 1965, it was reorganized as a limited-liability credit cooperative. The organization undertook a corporate-identity project in 1990 and received recognition from the Central Deposit Insurance Corporation for its corporate-identity work in 1991. The official chronology records a Taipei City government award in 1992, computerization of the cooperative's operations and adoption of universal-teller operations in 1994, and a corporate restructuring project in 1999. In 2001, its board approved convening the first shareholders' meeting for conversion to a commercial bank and revising related proposals. Members voted in 2004 to change the cooperative's name to 有限責任台北市第一信用合作社. A formal application to convert into a commercial bank was submitted to Taiwan's Financial Supervisory Commission in September 2006. Approval followed in May 2007, and the conversion took effect on July 1 that year under the name 稻江商業銀行. The bank's official history further records a public share issuance in October 2007 and an application in December to register its shares for trading on Taiwan's emerging-stock market. Fitch assigned the bank domestic long-term rating A-(twn) in 2008, according to the chronology. The bank continued to develop its services and organization. It established a trust department in April 2009 and an overseas-banking department in August 2010. It was renamed 大台北銀行 on January 1, 2009, then 瑞興商業銀行 on October 21, 2013. The official history records subsequent Fitch rating announcements, including long- and short-term domestic ratings and outlooks, over several years. It notes a negative outlook in May 2020 and stable outlooks in later listed assessments. In October 2018, the bank worked with EasyCard Corporation to issue what its history describes as Taiwan's first EasyCard financial card. The official chronology also records a centenary celebration in October 2017. In December 2023, the board approved forming a sustainable-development working group and committee. The bank's current official website presents retail and business banking services, digital channels, customer notices, corporate-governance information, sustainability information, recruitment, and branch-location resources. The supplied evidence does not establish a current parent company, controlling owner, founder, named executive, or present-day stock-listing status.
