CTBC Bank (中信銀行), which has held the ISO9001 quality management system certification for many years, said on Thursday that it recently obtained ISO10002 customer complaint management system certification and ISO10004 customer satisfaction management system certification, indications of the bank’s efforts in improving financial services and enhancing customer services.
These certifications show that the bank has attached great importance to customers and is actively moving to comply with international service standards, CTBC said.
CTBC Bank chairman James Chen (陳佳文) and vice chairman Austin Chan (詹庭禎) attended the ISO certification ceremony on Thursday at the CTBC Financial Park (中國信託金融園區) in Taipei’s Nangang District (南港), which was hosted by DNV Business Assurance Co (立恩威) general manager David Hsieh (謝振瑋) and observed by CTBC Financial independent directors Sam Yang (楊聲勇), Lau Cheung-chun (劉長春) and Christine Jih (季崇慧). DNV is one of the leading providers of accredited management systems certification.

The ISO10002 customer complaint management system provides a comprehensive process and guidance for handling customer complaints, while the ISO10004 customer satisfaction management system helps companies to establish effective methods and tools for monitoring and improving customer satisfaction, Hsieh said.
The system can also help companies improve the design of customized products and operating procedures, Hsieh added.
“Obtaining the ISO10002 and ISO10004 certifications will help the company improve customer trust and satisfaction and encourage corporate innovation,” Hsieh said.
CTBC has refined its processes and services, introduced innovative thinking, redesigned financial service processes and created a new customer experience, Chen said, adding that since the bank obtained the ISO9001 quality management system certification, it has worked to integrate its cross-department functions.
From document procedures to process design and control measures, all must comply with international standards, while subsequent implementation results and satisfaction surveys would be handed over to the coordinating unit for safekeeping, he said.
In addition, the bank has improved its tracking to comply with international standards, enhance customer satisfaction and brand trust, and achieve sustainable operations, he added.
Finally, Chen thanked the front-line staff for their efforts and encouraged all colleagues to work hard to improve customer services, handle complaints and understand customer needs, so as to provide financial services that are ubiquitous, comprehensive and attentive to customers.
Meanwhile, CTBC Bank has strengthened its efforts to provide services that are friendly to elderly people and the disadvantaged. This year, Chan led independent directors at CTBC Financial and CTBC Bank to experience the work of frontline customer service colleagues, and go to local branches to inspect the implementation of customer services for visually impaired, hearing impaired and physically challenged people.
They also reviewed the anti-fraud mechanism that helps to identify abnormal trading behaviors to ensure the safety of customer assets.
The financial firm would continue to provide better quality and diversified financial services, implement corporate social responsibilities and exert financial influence, it said.
GROWING CONCERN: Some senior Trump administration officials opposed the UAE expansion over fears that another TSMC project could jeopardize its US investment Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC, 台積電) is evaluating building an advanced production facility in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and has discussed the possibility with officials in US President Donald Trump’s administration, people familiar with the matter said, in a potentially major bet on the Middle East that would only come to fruition with Washington’s approval. The company has had multiple meetings in the past few months with US Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff and officials from MGX, an influential investment vehicle overseen by the UAE president’s brother, the people said. The conversations are a continuation of talks that
With an approval rating of just two percent, Peruvian President Dina Boluarte might be the world’s most unpopular leader, according to pollsters. Protests greeted her rise to power 29 months ago, and have marked her entire term — joined by assorted scandals, investigations, controversies and a surge in gang violence. The 63-year-old is the target of a dozen probes, including for her alleged failure to declare gifts of luxury jewels and watches, a scandal inevitably dubbed “Rolexgate.” She is also under the microscope for a two-week undeclared absence for nose surgery — which she insists was medical, not cosmetic — and is
Nintendo Co hopes to match the runaway success of the Switch when its leveled-up new console hits shelves on Thursday, with strong early sales expected despite the gadget’s high price. Featuring a bigger screen and more processing power, the Switch 2 is an upgrade to its predecessor, which has sold 152 million units since launching in 2017 — making it the third-best-selling video game console of all time. However, despite buzz among fans and robust demand for pre-orders, headwinds for Nintendo include uncertainty over US trade tariffs and whether enough people are willing to shell out. The Switch 2 “is priced relatively high”
