The bank also won the Best Service Award, Best Charity Promotion Award and Best Digital Finance Award, showing that its professional financial services and long-term promotion of charity have been recognized by the magazine and the public.

CTBC Bank has been engaged in wealth management for many years, during which it has developed a deep understanding of customer needs, Chen said.
Last year, the bank launched contactless wealth management services amid the COVID-19 pandemic, with wealth managers and expert teams advising customers online through a mobile app or videoconferencing, he said.
In addition, it used the CTBC Wealth Management Line account and other digital tools to provide customers with seamless services, while maintaining information security, the bank said.
In response to market turmoil, CTBC sped up market event notification and risk monitoring, and notified affected customers through newsletters, direct e-mails and wealth managers to protect their assets, it said.
CTBC in March last year launched its next-generation, goal-oriented intelligent wealth management service “Smart GO 2.0,” helping manage customer assets through the integration of big data, artificial intelligence (AI) investment strategies and automatic adjustment mechanisms, and solving customers’ investment problems through a hybrid model of human-machine cooperation, it said.
The bank also used an AI-enabled voice assistant to help nearly 4 million app users easily complete account checking and transfer services, it said.
In December last year, CTBC Bank gained approval from the Financial Supervisory Commission to launch wealth management programs for high net worth clients, becoming one of a few domestic banks providing new financial products or services to people with net investable assets and insurance product value exceeding NT$100 million (US$3.51 million).
The bank aims to provide overall financial planning for individuals, families and businesses, and offer more diversified products to help customers grasp the pulse of the global financial market and meet investment needs, it said.

Tan is to hold a banquet to celebrate Intel’s 40-year presence in Taiwan before Computex opens on May 20 and invite dozens of Taiwanese suppliers to exchange views
Application-specific integrated circuit designer Faraday Technology Corp (智原) yesterday said that although revenue this quarter would decline 30 percent from last quarter, it retained its full-year forecast of revenue growth of 100 percent. The company attributed the quarterly drop to a slowdown in customers’ production of chips using Faraday’s advanced packaging technology. The company is still confident about its revenue growth this year, given its strong “design-win” — or the projects it won to help customers design their chips, Faraday president Steve Wang (王國雍) told an online earnings conference. “The design-win this year is better than we expected. We believe we will win
Quanta Computer Inc (廣達) chairman Barry Lam (林百里) is expected to share his views about the artificial intelligence (AI) industry’s prospects during his speech at the company’s 37th anniversary ceremony, as AI servers have become a new growth engine for the equipment manufacturing service provider. Lam’s speech is much anticipated, as Quanta has risen as one of the world’s major AI server suppliers. The company reported a 30 percent year-on-year growth in consolidated revenue to NT$1.41 trillion (US$43.35 billion) last year, thanks to fast-growing demand for servers, especially those with AI capabilities. The company told investors in November last year that
