Business Model & Revenue
The bank earns net interest income from the difference between yields on loans and securities and the cost of deposits and borrowings. Fees from deposit accounts, wealth services, trade finance and other activities add noninterest revenue. Loan growth, credit quality, deposit mix and interest rates drive results. Deposits fund much of the balance sheet, while capital and liquidity rules constrain lending and distributions.
Key Facts & Market Position
Cathay's market identity is linked to cross-border and Asian-American commercial relationships, supported by multilingual teams and offices in selected business hubs. Commercial real estate forms a significant part of lending, creating exposure to property values and borrower cash flow. Regulation, underwriting discipline and stable relationship deposits are important to its competitive position.
