The COTA Bank (Chinese: 三信商業銀行; pinyin: Sānxìn Shāngyè Yínháng) is a commercial bank headquartered in Central District, Taichung, Taiwan.[1] By 2017, the bank had 30 branches in Taiwan, employed 1,100 people, and had NT$6.3 billion under management.[2] 16 of the branches are in Taichung, while the rest are in Taipei, Xinzhuang, Banqiao, and Nanbu.[3]

The bank was founded in 1915 as a private limited company named Taichung Credit Union (Chinese: 台中信用組合).[2] It primary clientele then was Japanese people living in Taiwan.[2] In 1999, the credit union was reorganized into a commercial bank.[3]

COTA Bank frequently received media attention for its management rights disputes and mergers and acquisitions.[2] Analysts said that COTA Bank experienced management rights disputes in 2017 two times within three years for several reasons.[4] Although its scope is not large, it over the years accumulated "a stable source of customers" in Taichung, Kaohsiung, Taipei, and other areas which gave it a stable profit, analysts said.[4] The barriers to entry to COTA Bank are low owing to its small share capital.[4] The largest shareholder in the bank in 2017 were Chuan Cheng Hat Company (Chinese: 全成製帽), which owned 15%; PJ Group [zh], which owned 9.6%; and Far Eastern Air Transport, which owned 4%.[4]
