'''Well Link Bank Co., Ltd.''' ({{Zh|s=立橋銀行股份有限公司}}; Portuguese: {{Lang|pt|Banco Well Link, S.A}}；commonly refer as '''Well Link Bank''') is a fully licensed commercial bank in Macau. Founded in 1996, it was acquired by the Hong Kong-based Well Link Financial Group in April 2017 and subsequently changed to its current name. Currently operating seven branches in Macau, it is the only bank in the region that provides services 365 days a year.
== History == In 1996, the Portuguese bank Banco Espírito Santo established Banco Espírito Santo do Oriente, S.A. in Macau to engage in wholesale banking, serving as its sole branch in the Far East. In 2014, following a crisis and subsequent bankruptcy of Banco Espírito Santo, the Portuguese government created Novo Banco to take over the majority of its operations; consequently, Banco Espírito Santo do Oriente was renamed Novo Banco Asia.
In April 2017, a consortium led by Well Link Financial Group acquired the unit from Portugal's Novo Banco for MOP 1.5 billion (approximately EUR 175 million)<ref>{{Cite web |date=2017-05-07 |title=Green light for Novo Banco Asia |url=https://www.macaubusiness.com/green-light-novo-banco-asia/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230412034916/https://www.macaubusiness.com/green-light-novo-banco-asia/ |archive-date=2023-04-12 |access-date=2023-04-09 |website=Macau Business |language=en-GB}}</ref>. The bank was officially renamed Well Link Bank in October of the same year.
In July 2018, the first branch, Nape Branch, was established.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Exmoo News |title=立橋銀行皇朝分行 上周開業 |url=https://www.exmoo.com/article/70739.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230414092147/https://www.exmoo.com/article/70739.html |archive-date=2023-04-14 |access-date=2023-04-09 |website=Exmoo News}}</ref>
