By Kao Shih-ching / Staff reporterA total of 101 Taiwanese employees of nine Taiwanese banks remain in China due to a lockdown, transport restrictions or other reasons, the Financial Supervisory Commission said yesterday. Three employees of Fubon Financial Holding Co (富邦金控) subsidiary Fubon Bank (China) Co Ltd (富邦華一銀行) returned to Taiwan before the Lunar New Year, she added. There are 88 Taiwanese staff of six banks still in those cities, commission data showed. Bank of Taiwan (台灣銀行) and Hua Nan Commercial Bank (華南銀行) also have eight employees each in Fuzhou, the data showed. As most Taiwanese banks’ operations in China are concentrated on corporate banking services, their employees have less contact with local consumers than those of Chinese banks, she said.
