Summary:
In times of need, EBC stands with Tainan and affected communities—supporting emergency relief, rebuilding, and resilience.
In response to the devastating aftermath of Typhoon Danas, we at EBC Financial Group (EBC) have donated USD10,000 to Tainan's official disaster relief fund. Our contribution reflects our commitment to standing with affected communities and supporting meaningful recovery efforts.
The typhoon made landfall on 6 July, bringing heavy rains and strong winds that severely impacted communities across Tainan. Thousands of homes were damaged or flooded, while public infrastructure faced widespread disruption. Prolonged power and water outages added to the strain on residents. The storm also caused an estimated NT$1.6 billion (approx. USD49 million) in agricultural losses and over NT$260 million (approx. USD8.9 million) in damage to education facilities, with recovery efforts still ongoing.
Our contribution is being directed to the city's Social Assistance Fund to support residents in restoring vital services and rebuilding their communities.
"We stand with the people of Tainan as they recover from the widespread damage caused by Typhoon Danas," said David Barrett, CEO of EBC Financial Group (UK) Ltd. "We hope this contribution reaches those who need it most, and helps communities move forward."
Committed to Real Impact, Not Just Presence
Our donation reflects our wider approach to corporate responsibility across the globe: prioritising practical, community-driven support in moments that matter.
This effort follows our continued involvement in social initiatives, including recent support for underprivileged childcare communities in Thailand and partnerships focused on financial education and well-being. Through these initiatives, we underscore our commitment to contributing beyond business and creating long-term social value in the regions we serve.
As the affected areas begin its recovery in the wake of the aftermath of Typhoon Danas, we reaffirm our commitment to contributing meaningfully to the communities we serve—both through our financial services and through initiatives that support resilience, stability, and long-term well-being.
We will continue to monitor developments in local communities and remain open to supporting future recovery and community-driven efforts as needs evolve on the ground.
