　　 The 21st Century Economic Reporter Zhang Xin reports from Beijing

Recently, the Heilongjiang Regulatory Bureau of the State Administration of Financial Supervision and Administration issued two notices on the termination of examination of administrative licensing matters of Longjiang Bank Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Longjiang Bank"). According to the announcement, Longjiang Bank had previously submitted the application for qualification review of two persons to the regulatory authority, but on the premise that the regulatory authority has not yet replied, Longjiang Bank voluntarily withdrew the application, which is rare in the personnel approval of the financial regulatory authority.

One is the application of Longjiang Bank for "Request for Instructions on Examining Sun Chengyu's Qualifications" (Long Yin Cheng [2024] No. 28) submitted to the regulator. The announcement shows that Longjiang Bank has withdrawn the application on its own initiative because the application materials did not accurately describe the punishment of the candidate. The other is the application for Liu Qian's qualification review submitted by Longjiang Bank to the regulator. The announcement only states that Longjiang Bank took the initiative to apply for termination of the review, but does not specify the specific reasons. Heilongjiang Supervision Bureau of the State Administration of Financial Supervision and Administration of the People's Republic of China said that the supervision decided to terminate the review procedures for the above two matters in accordance with the Provisions of the CBRC on Administrative Licensing Implementation Procedures.

Longjiang Bank and the regulatory announcement did not disclose the position or resume of Sun Chengyu and Liu Qian who submitted the qualification review. However, according to Article 78 of the Measures for the Implementation of Administrative Licensing Matters for Chinese funded Commercial Banks of the China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission (CBRC Order No. 5, 2022), the qualifications of the following personnel shall be subject to the qualification approval:

1. Chairman, Vice Chairman, Independent Director, other members of the Board of Directors and Secretary of the Board of Directors of Chinese funded commercial banks;

2. President, Vice President, Assistant President, Risk Director, Compliance Director, Chief Auditor, Chief Accountant, Chief Information Officer and senior managers at the same level of Chinese funded commercial banks, heads of internal audit departments and financial departments, General Manager (Director), Deputy General Manager (Deputy Director), Assistant General Manager of the Head Office's Business Department, Branch President, Vice President, Assistant President, The general manager, deputy general manager, assistant general manager of the branch level franchised institution, the head of the branch business department, the president of the managed branch, the head of the branch of the franchised institution and other senior managers;

3. Chairman, Vice Chairman, President (General Manager), Vice President (Deputy General Manager) and Chief Representative of overseas institutions of Chinese funded commercial banks hired by Chinese funded commercial banks from China;

4. Other personnel who do not hold the above positions, but actually perform the duties of directors and senior managers listed in the first three paragraphs of this article, and those who have decision-making power or important influence on the operation management and risk control of the head office and branches must obtain the qualification permit.

Since the beginning of this year, Longjiang Bank has terminated its examination on another matter. At the beginning of this year, because some electronic application materials were not stamped with official seal, which did not meet the format requirements of the application materials, Longjiang Bank took the initiative to withdraw the Application for Change of Business Name of Longjiang Bank Harbin Nanyang Sub branch (Long Yin Ha Cheng [2023] No. 122). On January 23, the regulator said that it had decided to terminate the review procedure for the matter in accordance with the Provisions of the CBRC on Administrative Licensing Implementation Procedures.
