About SFU

Shanghai Finance University (SFU) is a public, four-year institution focused on preparing students for future professional careers in financial and economic management. SFU began in 1952 as Shanghai Banking Institute affiliated with the People’s Bank of China (PBC). It became Shanghai Finance Vocational College in 1987, and has operated under the joint jurisdiction of the Shanghai Municipal People’s Government and the PBC since 2000, with the former taking the lead role. In September 2003, it was granted full university status under the present name.
