Does not appear to meet WP:GNG, I can't find any coverage other than some brief mentions in the context of a 2020 fraud scheme where the bank was impersonated. I tried searching in Chinese as well and couldn't find any significant coverage, although my ability to do so is somewhat limited and a fluent editor may have more luck. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 00:11, 20 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Have you tried Hong Kong Public Libraries newspaper archive ? https://mmis.hkpl.gov.hk. May need an afternoon for me to read the news article from the search result. Matthew hk (talk) 00:29, 20 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I wasn't aware of that resource. I tried searching just now but unfortunately didn't find anything usable in the first several pages of search results in English. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 00:34, 20 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. One of the few locally incorporated licensed banks. 219.77.116.215 (talk) 17:17, 24 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Relisted for further discussion, as finding sources appears to be complicated. That said, the lone "keep" argument as of this relisting is not going to carry weight.

The {{expand language}} tag has been added. 219.77.116.215 (talk) 11:45, 1 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I had reviewed the sources at the zhWiki article before creating this nomination, so that tag being added doesn't really change anything about my original assessment. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 16:11, 12 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Google Scholar had some promising-looking hits, but paywalled. I'm leaning keep because the name drops are usually including Tai Yau for making conclusions about HK's overall banking system. HK is a huge int'l banking hub, but when it's a mom-and-pop deal, I think Cantonese is necessary to get beyond a stub. I thought this SCMP Article was of some interest.

Keep. Notable history. 14.0.180.53 (talk) 07:17, 12 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: The two keep !voters rationales are rather lacking, but some commenters imply there are promising sources. Perhaps a third relist will result in some more concrete thoughts.
