BOC, which has signed a strategic investment and co-operation agreement with RBS, said yesterday in a press release that the deal still needs to be approved by relative government departments and regulators.

According to the strategic programme, the two banks will enter into broad co-operation in areas including credit cards, wealth management, corporate banking and personal lines of insurance.

In addition, they intend to establish a close co-operative relationship in major banking managerial areas, including corporate governance, risk management, financial management, human resources management and information technology.

RBS will appoint a representative to serve on the BOC board of directors.

George Mathewson, chairman of RBS, said the bank's board believes the size and growth of 皇冠体育app represents an important opportunity.

"We have been developing our relationship with Bank of 皇冠体育app over the last 18 months, and have been impressed by the strengths of the business and its compatibility with RBS," he said.

The combination of BOC's brand, distribution and customer base with RBS's product and operational strengths and experience will be powerful in the Chinese market, he said.
