Shanghai Pudong Development Bank partnered with Silicon Valley Bank in 2012 to create a separate Shanghai-based bank to lend to local technology startups.[4] It was the first Sino-American joint venture bank.[5]
In 2019, it was reported that the bank was under investigation for alleged money laundering and sanctions violations involving the North Korean regime.[6][7] The bank allegedly moved money for the Foreign Trade Bank of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea that was used to finance the country's nuclear and ballistic missile programs.[8]
