Banking in Taiwan
Just to prove that government in Taiwan isn’t all legislative fighting and intra-party power struggles, yesterday legislators were debating one of President Chen’s promised reforms - Changes to the banking sector:
Legislators from the Kuomintang yesterday urged the government to stop intervening in Taiwan’s financial services market and allow the market to develop naturally.
The remark was made in a televised debate between three KMT legislators and three government officials regarding the second stage of financial reform, which aims to halve the number of state-run banks to six and increase the market share of three domestic banks to more than 10 percent each by year’s end, to reduce the number of financial holding firms to seven from the existing 14 and allow at least one financial institution to be fully-operated by a foreign company by the end of next year.
The thing that strikes me about this is that there are currently 12 state-run banks in Taiwan. Note that this is the state after several years of reform (there were about 50 banks 10 years ago). Huge numbers of banks I can understand (one of Taiwan’s characteristics is the large number of small companies that continually pop up then disappear and generally help the Taiwanese economy), but what is the possible advantage of huge numbers of state run banks? It goes some way to explain the sad state of Taiwanese banking.
Personal banking
I’m not an economist, so I don’t want to say too much about corporate banking - but personal banking is certainly a mess in Taiwan. Apart from historical reasons, there is one big easily solvable problem holding banks back.
Most employers in Taiwan will require their employees to bank at a particular branch of a particular bank - and will only pay salaries into that branch. What this means is that most people in Taiwan have no real choice as to which bank they use. Banks do not compete on quality and service that they provide to their customers - they compete on attracting companies.
So successful banks are the ones that are good at wining and dining CFOs from large companies (and of course giving them suitable ‘gifts’), while providing the most basic and cheap service they can manage.
A simple law requiring all companies to be able to pay salaries into any bank would solve this overnight: people would slowly gravitate towards banks which provide the best service, the inefficient or incompetently run banks would feel the pinch and have to merge or face collapse.
Why hasn’t this been changed already? Well, it’s currently a pretty cozy arrangement for the CFOs & bank managers of Taiwan - and what government wants to piss off the people who control all the money in the country?

Moreover, if you elect to be paid by check, you have to go to the exact branch where the check was issued to cash it. ******** Meaning, if you work in Linkou and are paid by the local branch of Chung Hwa Bank there, you can’t take it to the Chung Hwa Bank branch near your house in Shihlin to cash it. Same fucking bank, same fucking chops, same everything, but they don’t even trust each other internally. What fucking bullshit.

Yup. I have about a hundred dead bank accounts from all the different places I have worked at. Fucking hate it.

Same here. Piles of bank books and ATM taking up valuable space in my drawers. I keep them because I figure that if I collect enough, eventually I’ll get a job with a company who’s bank I already have an account. Hasn’t happened yet though.

I bet if you do find a second job with the same bank they’ll say “Ah. but it’s a different branch. You’ll still need a new account.”
It is moronic, and I’m sure it’d be a popular change if some legislator started championing it …

I have been a onlooker here for sometime now. I didnt want to post until I was able to give back just as I have recieved from here. During the hard time
of the economy today I felt obligated to share with you how I have made it the past 6 months. Now I know this really has nothing to do with this site but as we all know
we each need tomake money and survive ourselves. Furthermore I wanted to share a site with you that can easily help you as it has helped me. In the past 6 months
I have been learning Internet Marketing techniques from using Blackhat and WhiteHat stratigies.
With these techniques I have been able to quit my job and focus just my time to internet marketing and now am making arounf $400 a day. My goal in the next 2 months is to beable to make $1k a day.
If it wasnt for this site http://www.InternetMarketersforum.com None of this would have happened. If your down and out and needing to make some online I suggest you check out this site.
If you join the site then you will ba able to see many more private methods to making anything from $100 a day all the way up to $1000’s daily. It just takes a little work on your part but in the end these methods truly work
