Bank of China Limited (Incorporated in China)

Bank of China Limited (Incorporated in China) is registered as an international branch in Sandton, South Africa, so it carries its own LEI while its accounts belong to the head office named below.

The LEI has been on record for 6 years, since 14 Nov 2019. That is about 1 year earlier than the median LEI in South Africa, which dates from 2020 — an early adopter by local standards.

Annual re-validation is 291 days overdue: it fell due 13 Dec 2025. An LEI that is not re-validated lapses, which does not invalidate it but marks the reference data as unverified.

The record has not changed since we began archiving it on 6 Jul 2026. Any future change to name, status, address, ownership or renewal date will be captured here, because GLEIF publishes only the current state and superseded values are otherwise lost.

The entity is registered with Corporate Registers under registry number 2000/008434/10, and the LEI itself is issued and maintained by Strate (Pty) Ltd, one of the Local Operating Units accredited by GLEIF.

The LEI registration is lapsed, and the entity status (active) records whether the legal entity itself still exists. The two are independent: an LEI can lapse while the company trades on, and it can stay issued after the company has been dissolved.
