BEA Launches the “Talent Privilege Programme”

The Bank of East Asia, Limited (“BEA” or “the Bank”) announces the launch of its “Talent Privilege Programme” (“the Programme”) to cater for the needs of talent and their family members settling in Hong Kong. The Programme provides selected customers with comprehensive wealth management services including cash rebates on mortgages as well as offers for medical protection and life insurance plans.

“Cross-boundary banking service is a strategic focus of BEA. The Bank's cross-boundary business has grown significantly, with a nearly 40% increase in the number of new accounts since the boundary reopening. The launch of successive schemes to attract Chinese Mainland talents to Hong Kong has driven the demand for cross-boundary wealth management services and opened up new opportunities for us to grow our high-net-worth customers. The Bank endeavours to become the wealth management partner of talent settling in Hong Kong, by offering them a whole host of services and offers, such as CNY remittance, mortgages and insurance plans” said Ms. Shirley Wong, General Manager and Head of Personal Banking Division of BEA.

The “Talent Privilege Programme” services include a priority account opening appointment service, mortgage cash rebates, offers for medical protection plans and premium discount or refund on selected life insurance plans1, remittance fee waivers, mortgage hotline, generous welcome offers, and a free children’s education consultation service2.

BEA also offers a wide range of cross-boundary financial services, and has set up 11 Cross-Border Wealth Management Service Centres across districts for customers to open accounts in a comfortable setting with dedicated relationship managers who can provide tailor-made financial solutions. After successfully opening an account, qualified customers can use the newly upgraded BEA Mobile and BEA Online platforms to manage their day-to-day finances and conduct investment transactions anytime, anywhere, while receiving the latest market analyses.
