Central News Agency (CNA) correspondent Lu Yen-tzu, Taipei, May 8th - As foreign banks actively compete for Taiwan's wealth management market, HSBC (Taiwan) Commercial Bank announced today that it has partnered with group strategic partner Allianz Life to launch premium financing services in the Kaohsiung special zone of the Asia Asset Center. For high-net-worth clients, this not only balances protection and inheritance but also maintains ample liquidity.
HSBC (Taiwan) Commercial Bank held a media briefing today to explain its strategy for high-net-worth wealth management, announcing double-digit growth in its assets under management, wealth management income, and number of Premier customers in the first quarter of this year.
Lee Sheng-kai, Head of Wealth Management and Financial Services Solutions, International Wealth Management and Premier Banking at HSBC (Taiwan) Commercial Bank, stated that according to a survey by CTBC Bank and Boston Consulting Group (BCG), the personal wealth of high-net-worth individuals in Taiwan with over NT$100 million will approach NT$60 trillion within three years, and the number of high-net-worth individuals will reach 155,000 by 2029, with over half being business owners and over 70% aged over 45.
Huang Chih-hung, Head of Retail Banking and Wealth Management, International Wealth Management and Premier Banking at HSBC (Taiwan) Commercial Bank, pointed out that according to statistics from the Insurance Bureau, the average annual premium expenditure for Taiwanese citizens will grow to NT$113,000 in 2025, an increase from NT$104,000 in 2024 and NT$93,000 in 2023. High-net-worth clients' annual premium payments are more than 50 times that of average clients. In response, HSBC Bank has launched premium financing services in the Kaohsiung special zone to help clients balance asset allocation and liquidity needs.
Furthermore, according to HSBC Bank's 2025 "HSBC Global Entrepreneur Wealth Report" survey, released earlier this year, as many as 15% of surveyed Taiwanese entrepreneurs indicated they would increase the proportion of life insurance in their asset portfolio within the next year.
Hu Hsing-hsien, Head of International Wealth Management and Premier Banking at HSBC (Taiwan) Commercial Bank, stated that Taiwan's wealth management market is very competitive. As the most globalized foreign bank in Taiwan, it can provide cross-border consumer and corporate financial services through its global platform in locations such as the US, Europe, and Asia. This is an undeniable advantage for HSBC Bank.
Hu Hsing-hsien explained that through five major strategies—financial growth, customer growth, enhanced experience, talent strengthening, and operational reinforcement—HSBC will target high-net-worth and affluent customers as its main target groups, offering integrated wealth management and global financial services, including the upcoming launch of the next-generation Premier service in the second half of this year, thereby strengthening high-end customer engagement.
