Taiwan Cooperative Bank, the second largest bank in the island, started its first mainland branch in the city of Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, last year. The lender plans to launch more branches on the mainland and it is also preparing branches in Vietnam and Australia, said Lin Wen-Lung, executive vice president of the bank.
