The bank was founded on 25 February 1933 by Dr. Wu Yee-sun, who owned a majority stake in the bank. It was listed in Hong Kong from 1980 to 2009 until it was acquired by China Merchants Bank. It currently employs over 1,900 people and has assets over HKD 300 billion.

In 2008, China Merchants Bank purchased 53.12 percent of Wing Lung Bank's equity and became the largest shareholder of the bank. Dr. Ma Weihua (China Merchants Bank's president) and Dr. Zhang Guanghua (China Merchants Bank's vice president) were appointed as the chairman and Vice Chairman of Wing Lung Bank respectively.^[2]

It was delisted from the Hong Kong Stock Exchange after 16 January 2009.^[3] In May 2009, Wing Lung Bank adopted the corporate identity of China Merchants Bank.

The Los Angeles branch, located in Alhambra, California, features the largest glass Tile mural in North America, measuring 34.5 feet (10.5 m) tall by 129.5 feet (39.5 m) wide.
