China Citic Bank Corp.'s (0998.HK) board has approved a plan to set up an online banking service with Chinese Internet search giant Baidu Inc. (BIDU) with a proposed registered capital of 2 billion yuan ($314.8 million).

The Chinese lender said Wednesday it plans to set up a direct bank called Baixin Bank Co. with Fujian Baidu Bo Rui Netcom Science and Technology Co., a unit of Baidu. The Chinese bank will hold a majority stake in the direct bank, which will offer investment products and lending services to customers online.

Separately, the board of China Citic Bank also approved a plan to set up China Citic Bank Asset Management Corp. with a proposed registered capital of CNY2.0 billion. The plan is awaiting regulatory approval.

Trade in shares of China Citic Bank, which halted Monday, will resume Wednesday.
