Immigrant population can be viewed as a simple target market New immigrants Established immigrants Second generation
The reality is more complex New immigrants Workers Skilled workers Students College graduates Professionals Business people Families Mainland China Fuzhen Quandong Wenzhou Shanghai Other parts Hong Kong Taiwan Malaysia Vietnam Established immigrants Quandong Taiwan Workers Professionals Business people Split families Second generation Sons and daughters ABC’s While the written language is the same, we must deal with several dialects.
Luckily, financial needs and profiles are more homogenous • They all tend to be savers • Operate in a more cash basis • Consumer credit needs are limited but they tend to not have a credit history • They all continue to have immediate family members and relatives “back home” • “Three income” households • Starting and owning a business is their way to financial stability • Owning real estate is their way to save for retirement • Sacrificing for the second generation with a focus on their education • Comfortable in dealing with banks
Products, people and service need to be tailored • Products • Passbook savings is our “best seller” with several flavors • Secured credit cards • High LTV, NIV loan products • International wire transfers • People • Drawn from the local community • Speak several dialects • High proportion of part timers – generally college students • Service • Extended hours and open 7 days a week • Brochures, forms, advertising, ATM screens are all in Chinese • Not focus on sales goals
We face more complex challenges in order to maintain our growth • Second generation • Competition from mainstream banks • Technology • Business owners • Trade financing • Insurance • Wealth management • Real estate lending issues • Real estate cycle • New CRE guidelines
