Macau Chinese Bank
Chinese bank
The Macau Chinese Bank Limited (Chinese: 澳門華人銀行有限公司; Portuguese: Banco Chinês de Macau, S.A.) is a bank in Macau, China.
The bank was formerly known as Finibanco (Macau) (Chinese: 富利銀行有限公司). It was acquired by Winwise Holdings Limited, the subsidiary of Hongkong Chinese Limited, in 2002 and renamed The Macau Chinese Bank, Limited. In 2007, Value Convergence Holdings, a subsidiary of Melco International Development, signed an agreement to acquire 60% stake of Macau Chinese Bank. However, in 2008, Value Convergence Holdings declared to give up the acquisition because Monetary Authority of Macao did not agree it before the agreement expiry date.
In 2015 the Chinese state-owned Nam Yue Group acquired a 56% stake in the bank from Hongkong Chinese Limited in two tranches. Two other natural persons also acquired 24% stake of the bank.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Macau Chinese Bank” as chinese bank. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as chinese bank. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 11, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q6722694. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2002, 2007, 2008 and 2015.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
