The Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission issued a reminder: The word "bank" cannot be used casually

The China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission issued the "Risk Tips on the Irregular Use of the Word "Bank"" and pointed out that in the near future, through daily monitoring, I will find that there have been many cases of irregular use of the word "bank" in some places without the approval of the CBIRC and its dispatched agencies. Some localities use the word "bank" to name certain public projects, and do not use the word "bank" in publicly issued work plans and other documents, including the use of names such as "Two Mountains Bank" and "Food Bank" to name relevant ecological resources operation and development platforms, and the use of the word "bank" in a conspicuous position on business premises.

The CbRC requires that all localities should promptly rectify and correct the irregular use of the word "bank". Regulatory departments at all levels should do a good job of publicizing the interpretation of the law, combine supervision with law enforcement, and coordinate and promote the work of standardizing the use of the word "bank" in accordance with law.
