Managing the lending upsurge: What banks need to know about controlling asset health and credit extension

China has had a record half year of lending, spurred by government pressure to keep the economy moving. Such rapid credit extension in an uncertain market is giving way to rising default anxiety among banks. At the same time, misused lending capital is believed to be contributing to capital market and property bubbles and escalating market risk. How are banks seeking to manage lending flows and new and evolving challenges for balance sheets?

Maximising branch and e-channel investments at a time of escalating budget and business pressures

Banks across China are focusing on channel construction, investing heavily into branch optimisation and e-channel growth. But are they really getting the most out of their investments? Amongst questions banks must consider are how to establish a seamless client view across different channels, how different retail sub-departments should interpret and handle client information via different channels and how to provide an integrated, reliable, high quality and profitable client experience.

Beyond segmentation: understanding customer behaviour and how best to serve them

Banks in China are making important client segmentation advances, but client analysis is still very rudimentary and remains in its preliminary stages. From building up front line sales staff capabilities to back office process improvements, how can a bank better understand their customers, serve them better and build more profitable, long-lasting primary relationships?
