For Taishin Futures, former Yuanta Futures General Manager Huang Cheng-hsiung will serve as Chairman, and former Taishin Futures General Manager Lin Po-hsiu will serve as General Manager.
Chen Chun-hung stated in a post-meeting press conference today that mergers are truly challenging. Company executives worked overtime for several consecutive holidays. Today, the first business day after the merger of Taishin Securities and Yuanta Securities, system integration experienced 'minor troubles, but no major problems,' and it is expected to be on track within tomorrow or the day after.
The Financial Supervisory Commission approved the merger of Taishin Securities and Yuanta Securities, and Taishin Futures and Yuanta Futures in January this year, with the merger effective date set for April 6. Today was the first business day. Some investors reported issues with the Taishin Securities APP mobile trading system this morning, showing 'system busy, please try again later' and timeout errors. Sales representatives notified clients that they could use another APP for trading or place orders by phone.
Chen Chun-hung stated today that after the merger of the two companies, system integration is divided into front-end and back-end. The back-end includes the most important accounting system, which Taishin Securities has overcome difficulties and successfully integrated. As for the front-end trading software, due to investors' usage habits, the two systems will temporarily operate in parallel. Later, without affecting customer rights, the integration benefits and possibilities will be gradually evaluated. (Editor: Chang Liang-chih) 1150407
