About This Series

The Banque Sino-Belge series of China Foreign Banks in the World Currency contains 18 distinct entries.

It opened its Shanghai branch in mid-June 1902, and shortly thereafter added branches in Beijing, Cairo, London, Paris, and Tianjin, and helped found the Banque du Congo Belge (French: Bank of the Belgian Congo; see Belgian Congo B201). The primary business of the bank in China was long-term loans to Chinese railways.
