Sin Hua Bank (Traditional Chinese: 新華銀行) was a bank operated in Hong Kong. It was established in Beijing in 1914. It later moved its headquarter to Shanghai. It established its Hong Kong Branch in 1947. It moved its headquarters back to Beijing again in 1980. It merged (along with nine others) with Po Sang Bank in 2001 to form Bank of China (Hong Kong).
Between 1989 (after the Hong Kong branch of the Bank of China moved to the new Bank of China Tower) and 2001, its headquarters was located at the Bank of China Building in Central.

Famous quotes containing the words sin and/or bank:
“Rock of ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in thee!
Let the water and the blood,
From thy riven side which flowed,
Be of sin the double cure;
Cleanse me from its guilt and pow’r.”
—Augustus Montague Toplady (1740–1778)
“Life is a long Dardenelles, My Dear Madam, the shores whereof are bright with flowers, which we want to pluck, but the bank is too high; & so we float on & on, hoping to come to a landing-place at last—but swoop! we launch into the great sea! Yet the geographers say, even then we must not despair, because across the great sea, however desolate & vacant it may look, lie all Persia & the delicious lands roundabout Damascus.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
