Domestic banks

According to Article 20 of the Banking Act, banks are divided into three types: commercial banks, professional banks, and trust and investment companies. The type or specialization of a bank, except for those established by the government, should be indicated in its name. In the past, there was a category of savings banks, but since commercial banks and professional banks can also engage in savings business, this category was never established and was deleted in the 2000 amendment.

After the implementation of the Trust Enterprise Act, all trust and investment companies in Taiwan have exited the market; the only professional banks still in operation are those established by the government, while private ones have all been transformed into commercial banks.

Professional banks

According to Article 88 of the Banking Act, professional banks are classified into six types: industrial credit, agricultural credit, export-import credit, small and medium enterprise credit, real estate credit, and regional credit. In the past, there were industrial banks and regional credit banks, but they have either transformed or expanded beyond their original regions, becoming commercial banks.

Agricultural Bank of Taiwan is established under the Agricultural Finance Act, not the Banking Act; its supervisory authority is the Agricultural Finance Bureau, Ministry of Agriculture, not the Banking Bureau of the Financial Supervisory Commission.

Mainland China banks After the Ma Ying-jeou administration took office, it opened up operations for mainland China banks (also referred to as "mainland-funded banks") in Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen, and Matsu. Due to the special political situation across the Taiwan Strait, the legal status and restrictions of mainland China banks are generally similar to those of foreign banks. However, in addition to complying with the Banking Act, they must also adhere to cross-strait regulations such as the Relations between the People of the Taiwan Area and the Mainland Area Ordinance and the Regulations Governing Financial Business and Investment between the Taiwan Area and the Mainland Area.

Asset size This list is compiled based on financial statistics published by the Banking Bureau of the Financial Supervisory Commission, integrating data from branches in Taiwan and domestic banks under the same holding group. Since some foreign banks do not separately disclose financial data for their branches in Taiwan or such data is not publicly available, they are not included in this ranking. These include: Bank of China, Bank of Communications, and China Construction Bank.
