The new CEO has served in a variety of roles in organisations such as China CITIC Bank International, Standard Chartered, and GE Capital (HK).

Hong Kong-based ZA Bank has appointed Ronald Lu as chief executive and executive director.

Lu is succeeding Rockson Hsu who has stepped down as CEO and executive director of ZA Bank to pursue new opportunities, the firm said in a statement yesterday. 

Lu joined ZA International, the parent company of ZA Bank, as chief strategy officer in February 2022, and later became chief risk officer of ZA Bank. He has more than two decades of experience in banking and finance, ranging from risk management, sales and marketing to developing fintech products.

Prior to joining the ZA family of firms, he was CEO of Airstar Bank. He has also served in senior management roles in various global and local financial institutions, including GE Capital (HK), China CITIC Bank International, Standard Chartered, and PrimeCredit.
