"Post-80s" Wang Liang officially takes the helm, SuNong Bank enters the "new leadership" era

With the issuance of a regulatory approval letter, Sunong Bank has officially entered its own era of a “new boss.”

Recently, the Suzhou Financial Regulatory Branch formally approved the appointment qualifications of Wang Liang as a director and president of Sunong Bank. Born in 1982, this “post-80s” president is not only a seasoned veteran with years of deep involvement in Jiangsu’s banking industry, but also returns to Sunong Bank with a wealth of executive experience gained while serving in multiple rural commercial banks.

What kind of chemical reaction will Wang Liang bring to this publicly listed bank rooted in Wujiang and radiating across Suzhou?

Deeply Rooted in Jiangsu

According to publicly available information, Wang Liang, the newly appointed president of Sunong Bank, is a typical “post-80s” young executive. He was born in February 1982 and holds a postgraduate degree.

Looking across Wang Liang’s career, it can be summarized as “a wealth of experience, deep cultivation in Jiangsu, and solid professionalism.”

He began working in 2008. In the early stage, he gained experience at the Suzhou branch of CITIC Bank, and worked across multiple core business segments, including risk management, credit management, human resources, international business, and investment banking, and also has grassroots management experience as a branch president.

After that, Wang Liang fully focused on the Jiangsu rural commercial bank system. He has long served at Sunong Bank (including its predecessor, Wujiang Rural Commercial Bank), holding positions such as general manager of the Investment Banking Department, general manager of the corporate banking department of the Suzhou and non-local business headquarters, chief of Financial Markets Headquarters and Investment Banking Department, and general manager of the Integrated Risk Control Department, among other key roles. He has a deep understanding of Sunong Bank’s internal operations and business framework.

In addition, he has “gone out” to accumulate even richer executive experience, serving successively as a member of the CPC committee and vice president of Jiangnan Rural Commercial Bank, and as a member of the CPC committee and vice president of Yangzhou Rural Commercial Bank. Now, he returns in the role of deputy party secretary, and was ultimately approved to officially assume the presidency of Sunong Bank.

It is worth noting that after being appointed as president in November 2025, at the 13th meeting of the seventh board of directors held in February 2026, Wang Liang was also appointed as Sunong Bank’s Chief Compliance Officer.

200 Billion-RMB Rural Commercial Bank

What Wang Liang takes over is a publicly listed bank with fairly solid fundamentals.

Sunong Bank’s 2025 third-quarter report shows that as of the end of September 2025, Sunong Bank’s total assets reached RMB 226.75B, up 5.96% from the beginning of the year; total deposits were RMB 182.3B, and total loans were RMB 137.97B, both maintaining a steady growth rate of around 7%. In the first three quarters of 2025, the bank generated operating income of RMB 3.22B; net profit attributable to shareholders of the parent company was RMB 1.71B, up 5.01%.

In terms of asset quality, as of the end of September 2025, the bank’s non-performing loan ratio was only 0.90%, and its provision coverage ratio was 355.85%, indicating sufficient risk-mitigation capacity. In addition, the bank’s lending is mainly concentrated in the Suzhou area (72.15%); its emphasis on cultivating the local real economy is particularly distinctive.
