Director-General Robert Lo Celebrates the Lantern Festival by attending the Opening Ceremony of First Commercial Bank’s Houston Branch in Downtown
The promise of prosperity is in the air during the Lantern Festival as one of Taiwan's most prestigious financial institutions opens a location in Downtown Houston.
Director-General Robert Lo of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Houston attended the Grand Opening Ceremony of First Commercial Bank’s Houston Branch today and unveiled the bank sign with Houston Branch Manager Ben Wu.
First Commercial Bank chose Houston for its first expansion into the Southern United States because of Texas' robust economic environment. The Downtown location is also the first branch of any Taiwanese bank to open in Texas.
Manager Wu said in his remarks that by adhering to the business philosophy of "Customer First, Service Foremost" the bank hopes to deepen cooperation and ties between the local business community and overseas Taiwanese community. In addition, the bank aims to provide quality financial products and services to customers by working with and drawing on its experiences from operating three branch offices and other subsidiaries in the US and living out its featured promise of "First Commercial Bank is always by your side."
Director-General Lo congratulated Manager Wu and his team for overcoming difficulties to establish the branch amidst the pandemic. He believes the opening of the branch office will help the post-pandemic recovery and further enhance economic ties and cooperation between Taiwan and Texas.
Mayor Sylvester Turner sent his congratulations with a proclamation that declared February 26th, First Commercial Bank's opening day, as First Commercial Bank Houston Branch Day!
