At the third China Cross-border Finance and Industry Supply Chain Overseas Exchange Conference and "Golden Rudder Award" ceremony held in Beijing on June 25, 2026, CBHB stood out from multiple rounds of expert reviews with its rapid growth and outstanding performance in the field of cross-border finance, winning the "Best Cross-border Financial Growth Bank" award. The award was jointly initiated by "Trade Finance" magazine, China Trade Finance Network, and the China Trade Bank 50 People Forum, focusing on five core dimensions including industry leadership and product innovation. As an important supporting event of the Fourth China International Supply Chain Promotion Expo, the event, with the theme of "Empowering Industrial Supply Chains with Cross-border Finance," brought together government experts, commercial banks, and representatives of leading domestic and foreign enterprises. Strategic Layout to Build Foundation for Cross-border Service Quality Enhancement In recent years, CBHB has solidly promoted the "9531" strategic deployment, aiming to transform into the "Nine Major Banks," accelerate the construction of the "Five Factories," and deepen the "Three System Reform" as a guarantee. In the field of cross-border finance, CBHB has continuously improved its onshore, NRA, FT accounts, and Hong Kong branch four-in-one account service system relying on the development pattern of "the head office and domestic branches as the main body, with the Hong Kong branch and Free Trade Zone branch as the two wings." At the same time, anchoring its three-dimensional positioning of "solution expert + product expert + service steward," CBHB quickly responds to enterprises' demands for cross-border settlement, financing support, exchange rate hedging, compliance consultation, and other full-chain services through the efficient linkage mechanism between the head office and branches, striving to become a trusted financial partner for Chinese enterprises' overseas journey. On the infrastructure level, in 2025, CBHB was approved as a direct participant of the Cross-border Interbank Payment System (CIPS) for RMB, becoming the first legal entity bank in Tianjin to receive this qualification, significantly improving the efficiency and coverage of cross-border RMB settlement. In May 2026, the FT account system of CBHB Tianjin Branch was officially launched, becoming the first local legal entity bank in Tianjin to complete the online launch of the FT account system, simultaneously launching the "Cross-border Free Trade Connection" product system to provide enterprises with one-stop cross-border financial services covering deposits, loans, exchanges, and transactions. The successive establishment of CIPS direct participation and FT account system has provided solid support for the enhancement of CBHB's cross-border financial capabilities, accelerating business growth - the total international settlement volume exceeded 100 billion US dollars in 2025, and the coverage of cross-border corporate customers both domestically and internationally continues to expand and optimize, becoming an important financial platform for serving Chinese enterprises to "go global" and connect domestic and international dual cycles.
