Awarding Chen with the Digital Transformation Leader Award recognizes his role as a key player in the bank’s digital transformation, it said.
To meet customers’ expectations, Chen not only transformed the overall banking service experience, but also integrated the organization to improve efficiency, creating an agile and innovative digital concept and environment, while leading his colleagues to work together, it added.
Chen said banks must always provide services that are readily available.
“From the perspective of customers, providing a good digital financial experience and completely transforming existing businesses is what we must do,” he said.
“In addition, CTBC has a diversified organization, with various units responsible for the front, middle and back offices, where the working habits and personality traits of technology and finance talent are quite different. Therefore, the role of the president is to allow everyone to collaborate smoothly, to provide colleagues of different cultures with the greatest flexibility, and to keep them united to work together toward a common goal,” he added.
The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated customer demand for digital finance, and CTBC said its vision for digital transformation includes two major goals: digital end-to-end services and banking everywhere.
To achieve the digital end-to-end goal, the bank redefined and redesigned its financial service process, and constructed a smooth, efficient and valuable customer experience based on the perspective of customers.
To reach the goal of banking everywhere, it adopted a cross-industry alliance strategy, providing financial services in daily life, so customers do not need to go to physical branches and can use the bank’s services anytime and anywhere.
CTBC’s online loan platform, which won the Operational Excellence and Transformation Award, is to make customer needs its core focus, and optimize customer service, application review and operation procedures, with the aim of establishing a complete database system and striving to develop more personalized services.
Nvidia Corp CEO Jensen Huang (黃仁勳) today announced that his company has selected "Beitou Shilin" in Taipei for its new Taiwan office, called Nvidia Constellation, putting an end to months of speculation.

China yesterday announced anti-dumping duties as high as 74.9 percent on imports of polyoxymethylene (POM) copolymers, a type of engineering plastic, from Taiwan, the US, the EU and Japan. The Chinese Ministry of Commerce’s findings conclude a probe launched in May last year, shortly after the US sharply increased tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles, computer chips and other imports. POM copolymers can partially replace metals such as copper and zinc, and have various applications, including in auto parts, electronics and medical equipment, the Chinese ministry has said. In January, it said initial investigations had determined that dumping was taking place, and implemented preliminary
Intel Corp yesterday reinforced its determination to strengthen its partnerships with Taiwan’s ecosystem partners including original-electronic-manufacturing (OEM) companies such as Hon Hai Precision Industry Co (鴻海精密) and chipmaker United Microelectronics Corp (UMC, 聯電). “Tonight marks a new beginning. We renew our new partnership with Taiwan ecosystem,” Intel new chief executive officer Tan Lip-bu (陳立武) said at a dinner with representatives from the company’s local partners, celebrating the 40th anniversary of the US chip giant’s presence in Taiwan. Tan took the reins at Intel six weeks ago aiming to reform the chipmaker and revive its past glory. This is the first time Tan
CUSTOMERS’ BURDEN: TSMC already has operations in the US and is a foundry, so any tariff increase would mostly affect US customers, not the company, the minister said Taiwanese manufacturers are “not afraid” of US tariffs, but are concerned about being affected more heavily than regional economic competitors Japan and South Korea, Minister of Economic Affairs J.W. Kuo (郭智輝) said. “Taiwan has many advantages that other countries do not have, the most notable of which is its semiconductor ecosystem,” Kuo said. The US “must rely on Taiwan” to boost its microchip manufacturing capacities, Kuo said in an interview ahead of his one-year anniversary in office tomorrow. Taiwan has submitted a position paper under Section 232 of the US Trade Expansion Act to explain the “complementary relationship” between Taiwan and the US
