Elaine Yeh, Esq. is currently the Chief Compliance Officer of Far Eastern International Bank (FEIB).

Ms. Yeh has nearly 30 years of practical experience in the financial industry. In her previous role as a senior lawyer at Tsar & Tsai Law Firm in Taiwan, she has assisted various financial institutions in reviewing documents relating to financial products and handling merger and acquisition (M&A) agreements, investment disputes, worker-employer agreements, corporate matters, and tax disputes for 6 years. She has also served as the legal affairs officer, the money laundering reporting officer, the chief compliance officer and the corporate governance officer at various financial institutions, including HSBC, CTBC Financial Holding (CTBC), Chinatrust Commercial Bank, Taishin Bank, and TFIT (now Cathay United Bank), and assisted CTBC with cross-border and cross-industry M&A and investments to expand its business territory in Asia.

In recent years, with the rapid development of financial technology, Ms. Yeh has had the opportunity to learn about Blockchain, Virtual Assets, Virtual Assets Service Provider (VASP), and Peer to Peer (P2P) lending industries while serving at FEIB.  When seeing these emerging industries as business opportunities for the bank, she also found the challenges and difficulties they brought in anti-money laundering and fraud prevention. Even so, Ms. Yeh has taken a leading role in helping the bank develop these businesses while also establishing sound control mechanisms for existing and potential risks hereof.
