Financial Chapter – Alumni Speaker Series

日期：2021年8月26日(四)
時間：晚上7至8時
形式：網上會議
主題：虛擬銀行，香港發展之路乃「虛」乃「實」？

講者：
Frank Chow (1987), Head of Cyber Security, Ping On OneConnect Bank
Edmund Lai (1988), DGM, Deputy Head of Consumer Banking Division, China Construction Bank Asia
Simon Lee (1998), Head of Internal Audit, ZA Bank
Ken Chan (2003), Manager, Corporate Digital Innovation Team, Hang Seng Bank

主持：Wilson Cheung (1999), Director, Compliance Advisory, Deloitte

簡介：
虛擬銀行(Virtual Bank)是金管局發展本港「新型銀行」(Neo bank)的重要措施之一。2019年，金管局共發出8個虛擬銀行牌照，至今一眾虛擬銀行亦已正式營運了。虛擬銀行推出創新的科技、產品及運作模式，有人認為對傳統銀行帶來衝擊，但也有人認為虛擬銀行在高監管成本、近乎飽和的商業銀行市場中前境黯淡，究竟虛擬銀行係顛覆銀行界，還是逆境求存？

四位分別來自虛擬銀行及傳統銀行的英華校友嘉賓講員，以及主持人，將與我們一起剖析虛擬銀行崛起之機遇及面對的挑戰、傳統銀行之優勢及變革，探討銀行業未來之趨勢和發展。

【利是封】收利是的通常較著眼於利是的「內涵」， 但派利是者則希望利是有內涵之餘，「外表」也可以特别一些、吸引一些，在佳節團聚時製造話題，更添喜慶。繼年前「英華」利是封大受歡迎之後，校友會今年再接再厲，再推出利是封?，不但火速售罄，而且更獲校友一致好評！日前很多校友已經順利收到了。????這個别緻的利是封叫好叫座，得力於籌委小組的心思、安排及努力，功不可沒?

祝願牛年會為大家帶來新氣象，疫情也快些過去，好讓在校的師弟們，可以盡快回復正常的校園生活，精采更勝我們往日在校的時光！

p.s. 就算唔團拜都要派利是，而派利是係一個傳統嘅「動作」，「內涵」要連利是封一齊派先至夠傳統☺️
