About First Financial Holding Co. Ltd
First Financial Holding Co., Ltd. was incorporated on January 2, 2003 with First Bank as its flagship entity through a 100 percent share swap. It is listed on Taiwan Stock Exchange under the stock code 2892.
Founded in 1899, First Bank was one of the three government-affiliated banks with the mission to allocate credit to underserved industrial and commercial businesses, finance national infrastructure, and serve as an underlying force of Taiwan's great economic advancement. In 1998, First Bank became the largest private-owned bank on the island after privatization. Since then it has been able to secure leadership positions in such selected areas as the corporate banking, SME business, home mortgages, mutual-fund distribution, trade finance, deposit and lending. It currently owns 189 branches at home and continues to invest in its global presence through 17 overseas branches and its US subsidiary of First Bank (USA).
With the historical groundwork well laid by First Bank, First Financial Holding Co. further diversified its business scopes into securities, property and casualty insurance and asset management on July 31, 2003, by acquiring First Taisec Securities Co., Ltd., Mingtai Fire & Marine Insurance Co., Ltd. and National Investment Trust Co., Ltd. On July 28, 2003, it successfully raised the equivalent of NT$17.3 billion fund through a global depository receipt program, the maiden issuance of Taiwanese financial institutions, which significantly shored up capital bases of the group and its subsidiaries.
