Biography
Chan was born and educated in Hong Kong. He received an MBA from Northeast Louisiana University in the United States. He started his career in a travel firm and entered banking in 1992, dealing with syndicated loans at Nanyang Commercial Bank before joining the Bank of China (Hong Kong).[1] He went on to become the board secretary and company secretary of the BOC Hong Kong (Holdings) on 1 April 2011.[2]
In 2016, Chan became the vice-chairman of the Chinese Banking Association of Hong Kong which was founded by 32 mainland banks with a presence in Hong Kong to spearhead banking policies and seek to create opportunities related to China’s 13th five-year plan and One Belt One Road objectives.[3]
In the 2016 Hong Kong Legislative Council election, he was elected without opposition in the Finance functional constituency for the Legislative Council of Hong Kong, replacing outgoing Ng Leung-sing to represent the banking sector. He was backed by his employer, Bank of China (Hong Kong), HSBC, Standard Chartered Bank, Citibank and Bank of East Asia.[1]
In December 2021, Chan was re-elected through the same constituency with 51 votes.[4]
In December 2022, Chan said that fundraising requests could move through the Legislative Council more quickly due to all lawmakers being "patriots," with no more dissent and filibustering.[5]
In December 2025, Chan was re-elected through the same constituency with 42 votes, only 9 votes more than his opponent, IP Tsz Kin.[6]
In January 2026, Chan lost to Starry Lee in the election of the president of Legislative Council by 5 votes[7]. One week later, Chan was elected as the president of House Committee of Legislative Council.
