What sets Bank of China apart
Bank of China U.S.A. is the oldest Chinese bank in the United States: its New York branch opened in 1981, the first Chinese bank to establish operations in the country, and the bank describes itself as the largest Chinese bank in the U.S. today.
In 2016 the New York branch was designated the first RMB (Chinese renminbi) clearing bank in the U.S., and its RMB settlement, clearing and trading network is the franchise it leads on. It operates here as a corporate and institutional banking branch – corporate banking, financial institutions, trade services and commodities finance – rather than a retail or markets business. For an early-career applicant that shapes the decision: BOC U.S.A. posts roles individually through its iCIMS careers portal rather than running a published rotational graduate or summer-analyst class, so the distinctive draw is China–U.S. cross-border and RMB exposure, and an application is targeted at a specific opening rather than a cohort program.
