Guangdong Development Bank (simplified Chinese: 广东发展银行; traditional Chinese: 廣東發展銀行; pinyin: Guǎngdōng Fāzhǎn Yínháng, abbreviated: 广发行) is a bank based in Guangzhou, Guangdong in People's Republic of China. The bank was established in September 1988 as a joint stock commercial bank.
Guangdong Development Bank is a mid-size national bank with more than 500 branches in China. Based in the Guangdong province bordering Hong Kong, GDB has assets of $47.9 billion, 12 million consumer customers, 9 million bank cardholders, 16,000 small and medium-sized business customers and 12,474 employees. Its problems seem to lie in weak capitalization and a history of bad loans.
Citigroup has a 20% stake, while IBM holds 4.74%, keeping the two American companies below the 25% threshold for overall foreign ownership. China Life and State Grid each owns 20%, CITIC Trust, 12.85% and Puhua will hold the remaining 8% of the equity sold.
