A Battle of Professionalism and Acumen

“Financing Talent” Comes Though at the Second IB Financial Consultants Tournament

The Second IB Financial Consultants Tournament was held in Shanghai from October 12-14. More than 200 elite participants from 76 teams in 35 branches of the Industrial Bank battled it out at the event to demonstrate their Financial Intelligence Quotient (FQ). Following a bitter contest, the tournament eventually had its winners: the “Top Ten Golden Financial Teams and Top Ten Golden Financial Consultants of the Industrial Bank”. The victors not only demonstrated the professional standard and services of IB's financial consultants, but also embodied IB's governing policy of “running the bank with expertise” and its service tenet of “Managing your finances and promoting your business” with first-rate talent and expertise.

In the thirty years since the reform and opening-up drive began, disposable incomes and notions of investment and financing have increased along with the rapid development of China's economy. This has brought about the rapid development of wealth management business in domestic banks. However, the complicated microscopic economic situation and financial environment spell both opportunities and dangers to the wealth management business of domestic banks. In retail banking, the Industrial Bank is committed to a stable, progressive and creative style of business. The bank has established a team of financial consultants with the capacity provide professional services and respond to the market quickly. It has also established a comprehensive range of financing services including cash management, asset consultation, investment financing and risk prevention, and boasts a series of popular and competitive products such as “Daily Wanlibao”, “IB Metal” Personal Trading of Precious Metals, “Intelligent Notice Deposit”, “Bank-UnionPay Link Online Fund Trade” and “EZ Invest” automatic investment plan (AIP). In the Financing Capability Report of Domestic Commercial Banks for the first half of the year recently published by Puyi Wealth, IB ranks in the top three in terms of profitability.

“Financing changes life” was the theme of the tournament. “Changing customers' lives” by continually creating value and increasing wealth is the objective and core value of IB's retail financing business. In order to provide customers with more professional financing services, the bank has continued with the construction of its retail financing service system and the development of its specialist and logistical teams over recent years. According to IB, it will further bolster its professional teams and pool wisdom and creativity so as to better seize market opportunities, effectively prevent market risks, create value for customers and share the wealth brought about by the rapid development of China's economy.
