<strong>Bank nears approval: FSC</strong>
Web-only Next Commercial Bank Co (將來商業銀行) is likely to gain regulatory approval to begin operating by the end of the year, Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) Chairman Thomas Huang (黃天牧) said yesterday at a meeting of the Legislative Yuan’s Finance Committee. The bank still needs to address some issues after an inspection in April regarding its information system purchase, Huang said. Two other Internet-only banks, Rakuten International Commercial Bank Co (樂天國際商銀) and Line Bank Taiwan Ltd (連線商業銀行), launched earlier this year, with 60,000 and 459,000 users respectively as of Tuesday, FSC data showed.
