Commercial bank with 110 U.S. and Asia locations serving cross-Pacific business growth
East West Bank operates a 1,000+ person retail and commercial banking network across the U.S. and Asia, with 110 branches serving mid-market and enterprise clients. The tech stack is traditional banking (SWIFT, Encompass, Actimize for AML) layered with cloud infrastructure (Azure, Terraform, CloudFormation) and analytics tools (Power BI, Tableau, Looker), but hiring is heavily finance-skewed (166 finance roles vs. 5 engineering) — indicating operations and compliance automation, not product or platform innovation, drive technology spend.
East West Bank is a Nasdaq-listed commercial bank headquartered in Pasadena, California, operating since 1973. The bank serves businesses and individuals seeking cross-Pacific market entry, with expertise in real estate, entertainment, private equity, venture capital, high-tech, and aviation. Revenue comes from three core lines: commercial banking (credit, transaction structuring, lending), retail banking (deposits, branch-based consumer products), and wealth management. Active projects center on branch profitability, client acquisition, compliance automation, and loan underwriting process optimization, reflecting a retail-led expansion model rather than wholesale platform development.
Core banking: SWIFT, Encompass (origination), Actimize (AML). Cloud: Azure ExpressRoute, Terraform, CloudFormation, Ansible. Analytics: Power BI, Tableau, Looker. Network: Cisco Meraki, Juniper Mist, SD-WAN, MPLS.
