(en) 伍宜孫（1900年－2005年5月11日），香港望族伍宜孫家族成員，永隆銀行創辦人，生父。伍宜孫1900年生於大清廣東順德杏壇鎮人。19歲便出外工作。1919年來香港，在一家上海人组織的當差。後轉入工作，由于勤敏幹練，得上司赏識，屢獲提拔，20岁便成老闆左右手。集資創辦了。伍宜孫的祖父先生早年在廣州設立，遠近聞名。後因世亂天災，家道日漸中落。伍宜孫童年備嘗艱苦，雖天資聰穎，但因為家境貧困，以致少年失學，年僅14歲便到香港做工。在既無祖蔭又無憑藉的情況下，只能從做起。伍宜孫矢勤矢慎，任勞任怨，從艱苦的環境中磨練自己。他為人謙遜勤奮，在繁瑣雜務之中領悟辦事之方，深得老闆的賞識，得到多方指點，20歲便擔任老闆的副手。1933年，在眾多友朋的信任支持下，籌集得資金四萬四千五百元，於同年2月25日在香港上環文咸東街創辦了，並於創業後第一年即獲利九千餘元。1930年代初，粵漢鐵路通車，伍宜孫認為暢達後，香港乃華南貿易中心，必定有不少外省客商前來經貿，於是聘請專人教授店員學普通話。1937年中國抗日戰爭爆發後，大批各省人南來貿易，由於永隆銀行的同事能講普通話，吸引了各外省人相率來顧，業務因此大增。在其後數十年的經營事業中，伍宜孫以“發展不忘穩健，服務必盡忠誠”為訓，銳意擴展，雖然經歷了抗日戰爭、國內革命戰爭，以及香港出現的多次銀行擠提危機，永隆銀行始終根基穩固，並不斷發展壯大。1956年註冊為有限公司，伍宜孫任董事長，1960年改稱銀行，1980年成為上市公司。永隆銀行經歷了60餘年的艱苦歷程，位處香港這個世界金融中心而巍然屹立。至1997年，永隆銀行除總行外，港九新界共有34間分行，在廣州設有代表辦事處，在美國及開曼群島設有分行。永隆銀行除一般外，尚經營保險、信託、信用卡、、證券及期貨買賣、外幣及股票孑子展、安排及參與銀團借貸款、代售信託基金等業務，成為香港一問實力雄厚、享譽 (zh)
