Our story

Founded in 2016, Cathay Bank was born from a simple idea: banking should be seamless, transparent, and accessible to everyone. What started as a small fintech startup in New York has grown into a trusted financial institution serving millions across the US and Europe.

We believe that technology should empower people, not complicate their lives. That's why we've built a bank that combines cutting-edge digital tools with the personal touch of traditional banking.
