BOCOM Leasing

BOCOM Leasing, also known in Chinese as 交银金租, is the financial leasing company wholly owned by Bank of Communications. Established in December 2007 with approval from the State Council, it was among the first five bank-affiliated financial leasing companies approved in China. The company is headquartered in Shanghai and describes itself as an extension of the financial brand and services of the century-old Bank of Communications. Its registered capital is RMB 20 billion, according to its company profile. The company provides financial leasing and operating leasing, with business organized around shipping, aviation and equipment leasing. Its work also covers transportation infrastructure, energy and power, equipment manufacturing, consumer and livelihood-related services, and other areas. The company says it is developing business in new infrastructure, new energy, technology and inclusive leasing, while maintaining a focus on serving the real economy. Its stated business philosophy is “真做租赁、做真租赁” (“genuine leasing, doing leasing for real”), and its development strategy emphasizes specialization, internationalization, differentiation and distinctive strengths. BOCOM Leasing reports that its business reaches 36 countries and regions across five continents. The company’s website describes a fleet of more than 430 vessels, an aircraft fleet of more than 320, total assets above RMB 450 billion and leasing assets above RMB 400 billion. These are figures presented on its website and may change over time. Its activities include financing and operating leases for aircraft, ships and equipment, as well as projects in infrastructure and energy. The company also identifies itself as chairing the China Banking Association’s financial leasing committee and the Shanghai Banking Association’s financial leasing committee. As a wholly owned subsidiary of Bank of Communications, BOCOM Leasing is part of a state-owned financial group rather than an independently listed company. Its public-facing materials frame its role around supporting national strategies and financing the real economy. The official company profile describes its current development as a transformation that consolidates its aviation and shipping leasing positions while expanding into newer fields. Official news items supplied here report, among other activities, ship deliveries and naming ceremonies, aviation-finance participation, and a 2025 announcement of a transition-finance ship-leasing transaction. The company remains active; the supplied evidence does not establish a separate consumer-facing product brand or a stock-market listing.
