The introduction of acts and regulations in the financial sector is often regarded as an onerous constraint by financial institutions, which must comply with regulations within a limited time frame, at the least possible cost, yet still retain their unique competitive flavour.

Calls for improved data protection in the commercial and fi­nancial services domain have caused the enactment of data protection acts throughout the world, and Asia is no exception.

With personal data protection acts at various stages of legislation and enforcement in Asia, this has important implications on banks and ­financial institutions, who must:

1) Understand how the law impacts their operations, data systems and respective customers
2) Find competitive methods to comply with regulations at effective costs

Key areas of discussion include:

• Implications of data protection regulations in Asia on consumer banking, direct marketing, cross-selling and CRM.
• New challenges brought about by the introduction of data protection acts in various countries on Asian banks.
• Steps financial institutions can take to comply with data protection regulations while maintaining the competitive edge.

• Data Management & Governance
