Anurag Mathur, Head of Retail Banking and Wealth Management at HSBC Bank (Singapore) shared, "Our business has grown exponentially and, to sustain this trajectory, we need laser-like focus on delivering excellent customer service.”
For this the bank has to generate deep customer insights, design and deliver unique products and propositions, and have the agility to meet changing customer needs. It also requires having the right structure and people in place. With these these three hires the bank has already started putting the right people in place. How these leaders will direct the team will determine HSBC Singapore's growth and success in the near future.
With a booming banking and finance sector in the country, the bank has many opportunities to tap on. However, the competition is also fierce. Recently, even Standard Chartered announced its plans to expand in the Singapore market. Banks like UBS already have a good market share in the country. The new leaders have to focus on creating an exceptional experience for their customers, if they wish to stay ahead in the market.
