About Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (Europe) S.A., Sucursal en España

Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (Europe) S.A., Sucursal en España is the Spanish branch of ICBC (Europe) S.A., a Luxembourg-authorized credit institution ultimately owned by Industrial and Commercial Bank of China Limited. Operating from Madrid, it is oriented toward corporate and institutional clients engaged in Spain–China trade and investment, providing corporate current accounts and deposits, bilateral and syndicated lending, trade finance instruments (letters of credit, collections, guarantees, standby LCs), cash management, cross-border payments, foreign exchange and RMB/EUR services, and treasury products. It processes euro payments within SEPA and executes international transfers via correspondent banking networks. The branch does not maintain a nationwide retail presence in Spain and does not publicize a broad consumer offering; onboarding is relationship-driven and subject to EU KYC/AML requirements. Pricing, interest rates, and credit limits are typically tailored and not standardized publicly. As an EU branch of a Luxembourg bank, prudential supervision and deposit protection are anchored in Luxembourg: the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier is the home supervisor, and eligible deposits are covered by the Luxembourg deposit guarantee scheme (Fonds de garantie des dépôts Luxembourg) up to €100,000 per depositor, while Banco de España acts as host authority for market conduct and local operations. The branch is subject to EU banking rules (CRR/CRD), AML/CFT and sanctions frameworks, and GDPR. Accounts and services are typically available in euro and, where relevant, Chinese renminbi, with processing aligned to standard European banking calendars. The limited physical footprint and corporate focus imply constrained options for cash services, consumer cards, or retail digital banking, so prospective clients should verify the availability of specific products, tariff schedules, and applicable deposit protection before onboarding.
