Competition and cooperation in an intensifying battlefield

The rise of the domestic banks and rapid commoditisation of transaction banking services should be creating areas for collaboration, but it is not

If the competition in transaction banking continues the way it does in Asia, surely commoditization and consolidation would be the natural consequences.The industry in this region needs to look two steps ahead to avoid such a fate, and even further, if they consider the potential cannibalisation by non-bank players. Yet, the key pillars of a mature industry, such as the use of shared utilities, the subscription to common standards, the impact of new technologies and the potential of non-industry competitors are hardly discussed, let alone put into the strategies of individual banks, who act as if they alone will capture market share and dominate the space. Quite obviously they can't, and soon the cost of replication and over-capacity in the market place will pick the losers. The time to start this conversation and build the pillars of a sustainable industry, where players can focus on creating their own value differentiation while cooperating on common platforms and standards in the areas where there can be no differentiation, is now. There are enough examples of collaborations that are creating innovation and value for individual enterprises exist around the world. There are also ample areas for further collaboration in Asia.

This dialogue starts with where we are today, and attempts at answering where we should want to be as a community that can result in creating
and growing trustful communities for better customer experiences, market acceptance and eventually market leadership.

We also look beyond, to processes and organisational improvements, implementation of liquidity risk strategy, which pose important data management challenges that need to be tackled bottom-up.  Needs for data at multiple levels of aggregation are significant to support daily cash and liquidity management:

• Reliable stress tests
• Complying with regulatory reporting
• Enhancing liquidity services to customers
• Developing alerts based on specific thresholds

Strategies to move to customer-centric productisation and pricing.

base, in order to stay competitive in the market. In this session we discuss how innovative product strategies, service excellence and Relationship based Pricing will help banks to adopt a unique customer centric framework, and drive success in addressing global and regional customer needs.

Supply Chain Management assessing low interest rates and low inflation.

A result of the explosive growth in global trade is a dramatic shift in transaction formats in the international trade marketplace, which affects
both ends of the supply chain. Leading to increased supply chain management, specifically, there has been a noticeable and ongoing transition from traditional letters of credit (LCs) to open account trading. The slow pace of penetration of open account trading must speed up if Asia is to continue to grow, how can this be achieved? How can FI's prepare for low interest rates and low infl ation impacting global treasury operations

• Achieving simplicity and cost optimization through standardization
• How can banks strengthen trade and supply chain finance
  
• sharing risk and leverage credit
• making more-proactive business decisions

08:30 – 09:30
Transaction banking is not keeping up with the way Asia is changing today.

The rise of intra-regional trade, currency volatility and the changing face of Asian corporations require a completely new set of priorities
If inflation is of a real concern, if trade between neighboring countries in the Asia Pacific region is clearly on the increase, how then are these
factors incorporated into the strategies and product capabilities of the transaction bank? The rapid growth of Asian economies is blurring the lines between middle markets and SMEs, so that infrastructure built to serve one type of customers has to be extended to serve others. Increased transportation access are forcing domestic manufacturers and services to become more regional, and closer to their consumption points. The traditional follow-the-client model is unsatisfactory. Banks are bound by national borders, the customers think regionally. Entire economies are shifting in economic activities from manufacturing to services, and wholly new consumption and people migration patterns have been emerging that even the large MNCs have had to remodel in serve better.

This session will attempt to identify first the breath-taking elements of a changing Asia that transaction banks have to take cognizance of. It will
then look at how inadequate the current transaction bank can be to serve this changing marketplace. From the gaps, we will identify the bold
strokes that should define what needs to be done to remain relevant in this part of the world.

Many banks rely on large numbers of fine-grained services that tend to be domain specific. Interoperability around payments can be particularly
troublesome because of the vast ecosystem of different services involved in the many ways that money changes hands. While RTGS and SWIFT
volumes have remained broadly flat in the region over the past few years, volumes for electronic low-value payments are rising rapidly in most
markets. With high payments and the issues surrounding liquidity management any institution managing this effectively with the right tools has become essential, and with the rise of the mobile in other areas how will corporate mobile banking develop?

In this session we will discuss the developments in the national payments infrastructure, payment hubs, increasing interoperability between countries for both for high and low value payments. We will also look at the strategic direction the region's banks are taking with their paymentsrelated products, services and systems.

What should bankers live for
A 1-on- 1 interview with Michael Bernard DeNoma, Chairman, Chinatrust Commercial Bank one of the more aggressively growing Pan-Asian franchises.

On March the 28th 2011 Mr. Michael Bernard DeNoma completed the cross-country marathon dubbed "the Protect the Children 400 Km Ultra- Marathon". Mr. Michael Bernard DeNoma ran the 400km ultra-marathon from Kaohsiung to Taipei as Part of China's Silk Road Run to help raise
awareness on the issues of water shortages. When Mr. DeNoma is not running marathon's for great causes he has expanded the Chinatrust
Commercial Bank franchise to become a truly greater China institution. Chinatrust Commercial Bank has 145 domestic and 75 overseas outlets
and is the Taiwanese bank with the most extensive international network.

Mr. DeNoma is more closely associated with causes like the ICMEC and his work with 'Light Up A Life' campaign. This has not prevented the
Chinatrust Commercial Bank from growing many folds since he became chairman.

• Who is this man and where is he taking the bank?
• What can we learn from him about what matters and what doesn't in growing a franchise?
• What is his real impact on the institution and how will his achievements be measured?
• In a world where bankers have been closely associated with greed what does it mean to care?
