Mr Mak Tak Cheung, Vice-principal of Ying Wa College, retired after 40 years of long-standing dedicated service to our Mother School in August 2020.  Due to the pandemic, we cannot get together to celebrate his retirement until now.  To express our gratitude, YWCOBA organized an appreciation dinner for Mr. Mak on 16 Sep 2021 at Hotel ICON by inviting over one hundred guests including YW school principals and vice-principals and past students from various years.  It’s a joyful and memorable night.

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。
