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.

Nanya Technology Corp (南亞科技) yesterday said the DRAM supply crunch could extend through 2028, as the artificial intelligence (AI) boom has led the world’s major memory makers to dramatically reduce production of standard DRAM and allocate a significant portion of their capacity for high-bandwidth memory (HBM) chips. The most severe supply constraints would stretch to the first half of next year due to “very limited” increases in new DRAM capacity worldwide, Nanya Technology president Lee Pei-ing (李培瑛) told a news briefing. The company plans to increase monthly 12-inch wafer capacity to 20,000 in the first half of 2028 after a
Property transactions in the nation’s six special municipalities plunged last month, as a lengthy Lunar New Year holiday combined with ongoing credit tightening dampened housing market activity, data compiled by local land administration offices released on Monday showed. The six cities recorded a total of 10,480 property transfers last month, down 42.5 percent from January and marking the second-lowest monthly level on record, the data showed. “The sharp drop largely reflected seasonal factors and tighter credit conditions,” Evertrust Rehouse Co (永慶房屋) deputy research manager Chen Chin-ping (陳金萍) said. The nine-day Lunar New Year holiday fell in February this year, reducing
Zimbabwe’s ban on raw lithium exports is forcing Chinese miners to rethink their strategy, speeding up plans to process the metal locally instead of shipping it to China’s vast rechargeable battery industry. The country is Africa’s largest lithium producer and has one of the world’s largest reserves, according to the US Geological Survey (USGS). Zimbabwe already banned the export of lithium ore in 2022 and last year announced it would halt exports of lithium concentrates from January next year. However, on Wednesday it imposed the ban with immediate effect, leaving unclear what the lithium mining sector would do in the
