Agricultural Bank of China (OTCMKTS:ACGBF) is one of the largest state-owned commercial banks in the People’s Republic of China, offering a comprehensive range of financial services to corporate, retail and rural customers. The bank’s principal activities encompass corporate lending, trade finance, treasury operations, retail banking, wealth management and electronic banking. It supports agricultural development and rural financing while also serving the needs of urban enterprises and individual consumers through deposit-taking, loan issuance, payment services and investment products.
Originally established in 1951 to serve China’s agricultural sector, the bank was restructured in the late 1970s as part of nationwide financial reforms. In 2010, it completed one of the world’s largest initial public offerings, listing its shares on the Shanghai and Hong Kong stock exchanges. The offering helped bolster its capital base and fund expansion into new business lines, including asset management, insurance and international banking services.
Headquartered in Beijing, Agricultural Bank of China operates an extensive domestic network of branches and sub-branches covering both densely populated urban centers and remote rural areas. It has also built an international presence with representative offices and branches across Europe, North America, Asia and Oceania, enabling it to facilitate cross-border trade and serve multinational clients. The bank is governed by a board of directors and senior management appointed in accordance with regulations for state-owned financial institutions in China.
