During a critical phase of rapid business expansion, Sichuan Rural Commercial United Bank (hereinafter referred to as "the Bank") has optimized its senior leadership team.
According to the latest information on the Bank’s official website, its leadership team has now expanded to 11 members. Among them, three newly appointed deputy presidents—promoted internally—have officially assumed their roles. Additionally, a "post-80s" financial talent recruited from a provincial-level city commercial bank has been nominated as another deputy president.
The Bank’s new leadership structure adopts a "one president with multiple deputies" model, achieving a generational mix of leaders born in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. This reflects a clear strategic approach combining internal promotions with external talent recruitment.
**Internal Talent Optimization: Three New Deputy Presidents Promoted This Year** Established through the restructuring of the Sichuan Provincial Rural Credit Cooperatives Union, the Bank officially commenced operations on January 29, 2024, with a registered capital of RMB 22 billion. It has inherited the management functions of the provincial rural commercial banking system.
The leadership team comprises Party Secretary and Chairman Ai Yubin, Deputy Party Secretary, Vice Chairman, and President Wang Tao, and Deputy Party Secretary and Director Tan Hongjie forming the core Party committee. The business management team includes Deputy Presidents Zheng Lixin, Jiang Lin, Du Lingyan, Xia Haochun, and Guo Jialian, along with nominated Deputy President Liu Junyu. Discipline inspection is overseen by Deng Ping, head of the disciplinary inspection team stationed by the Sichuan Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection.
Notably, Du Lingyan, Xia Haochun, and Guo Jialian—the three newly appointed deputy presidents—received regulatory approval this year. All three were promoted internally, bringing extensive operational expertise.
Du Lingyan specializes in corporate banking and regional management, having served as General Manager of the Corporate Business Department at the Provincial Union. Xia Haochun, with a fintech background, previously led the Information Technology Center. Guo Jialian brings institutional management experience, having served as Chairman of Luzhou Jiangyang Rural Commercial Bank and Director of the Zigong Office.
**Cross-Industry Talent Introduction: "Post-80s" Deputy President Nominee** Alongside internal promotions, the Bank recruited Liu Junyu, a "post-80s" executive from a provincial city commercial bank, as a nominated deputy president.
Born in May 1981, Liu graduated from Southwest University of Finance and Economics with a degree in accounting. His career spans roles at the Sichuan Provincial Department of Finance and Sichuan Bank, where he served as Board Secretary and chaired the City Commercial Bank Committee of the Sichuan Banking Association.
**Generational Diversity and Strategic Talent Reserves** With Liu’s appointment, the leadership now spans three generations: Chairman Ai Yubin (1960s), President Wang Tao (1970s), and Liu Junyu (1980s).
As Sichuan’s largest banking institution by assets (RMB 2.6 trillion), branch network, and workforce (48 rural commercial banks and nearly 40,000 employees), the Bank is advancing its "three pillar" strategy: rural, local, and inclusive finance.
To support growth, the Bank launched systematic talent expansion in 2024, optimizing senior management while bolstering grassroots and specialized roles. Recruitment drives include 1,500 campus hires for 2025 graduates, 847 tellers via social recruitment, and 250 tech-focused roles (100 campus, 150 experienced). In 2025, it announced plans to hire 847 tellers and 1,065 positions for 2026 graduates—216 tellers, 736 technical roles, and 113 IT positions, with 80% allocated to specialized fields.
