Biography
A native of Hong Kong, Chan completed his education locally before obtaining an MBA from Northeast Louisiana University in the United States. His career commenced in the travel industry, after which he transitioned to banking in 1992, initially focusing on syndicated loans at Nanyang Commercial Bank. Subsequently, he joined Bank of China (Hong Kong). On 1 April 2011, he assumed the roles of board secretary and company secretary at BOC Hong Kong (Holdings).
In 2016, Chan was named vice-chairman of the Chinese Banking Association of Hong Kong, an organization formed by 32 mainland banks to shape banking policies and capitalize on opportunities presented by China's 13th five-year plan and the One Belt One Road initiative.
Chan replaced Ng Leung-sing in the Finance functional constituency during the 2016 Legislative Council election, receiving support from prominent banks such as Bank of China (Hong Kong), HSBC, Standard Chartered Bank, Citibank, and Bank of East Asia.
By December 2022, Chan remarked that requests for legislative fundraising were processed more swiftly because all legislators were "patriots," which removed opposition and filibustering tactics.
