Context – Target Market & Communities • History • In July 2006 CBA set up International Customer Services to assist new migrants and international students to establish a banking relationship before arrival • In 2008 the local support was increased with the establishment of the Asian Banking teams, to work directly with the Chinese, Indian, Korean & Vietnamese communities in Sydney and Melbourne • Goal • To be recognised as the Bank of choice in each community supported by staff from these communities who understand and respond to their specific needs.
How we are targeting Asian communities in Australia? • Expanding our dedicated new business managers offering specialised services to the Chinese, Indian, Korean and Vietnamese communities • Newly established Chinese Banking team in Brisbane & Perth • Further deployment of the right cultural mix including language skills at our branches, contact centres and in business banking to help support local communities • Using our staff mix and geographic coverage to execute our marketing promise through excelling in customer service (the Banks’ vision) • Ongoing community support through sponsorship of events and participation in associations to ensure we have a close understanding of community needs. This also helps raise the profile of our services and people assisting the communities
