Follow your dreams and create your own youth with uFinance

As university students wish to pursue their dreams during their studies, but are discouraged by financial constraints, Stephen Lai, the founder of uFinance, believes that university is the most youthful and free time in life, and that they should explore different paths in their lives, instead of being restricted by financial constraints. Therefore, uFinance was established in 2018 to help students overcome the problem of not being able to apply for large, low-interest loans from banks and traditional financial institutions. uFinance has helped over 10,000 students with their academic and living needs in the four years since its inception. This may have an impact on the life on campus. To encourage more tertiary students to pursue their dreams and create their own youthful moments, uFinance launched a new student loan campaign, “This is Youth”, in September this year. “This is Youth” focuses on the self-definition of youth, hoping that tertiary students will live their own lives and write their own “definition” of youth.

uFinance student loan helps you to enjoy your campus life without financial constraints

Unlike traditional banks and lenders, uFinance does not use traditional income as a criterion for approval. Instead, it uses big data analysis and risk assessment to offer larger loans with lower interest rates to tertiary students.

Furthermore, there is no restriction on the use of the uFinance Student Loan Scheme, so students can apply for it to pay their hall fees, exchange fees, or even start their own business, allowing them to enjoy stress-free campus life. uFinance has found that more and more student loan applicants are choosing to apply for loans to start their own business, so it hopes to encourage more people to pursue their dreams through its promotional campaign “This is Youth”.

About uFinance

uFinance Hong Kong Limited (“uFinance”) was established in 2018 to provide the most suitable financial support for tertiary students in Hong Kong, enabling them to manage their finances and take advantage of every learning opportunity. Compared to traditional financial institutions, uFinance does not require income proof as an approval criterion, nor does it require students to provide proof of address. Students are required to upload 2 documents (ID card and student car) to apply for the student loan offered by uFinance. Since its inception, uFinance has served more than 10,000 students and has worked with over 200 societies from tertiary institutions.

Beyond financial support, uFinance also provides a one-stop information platform for tertiary students, including information on job hunting, internships, sponsorship and further studies, so that they can have a solid foundation to face different challenges before starting their careers.

Moreover, uFinance understands that many tertiary graduates also have to face various financial needs after joining the society, such as further studies, house ownership or investment. To help newcomers to the workforce to enter society without the pressure, uFinance will be extending its lending services into the private lending sector in 2022, with the launch of a new brand, afterU, to provide more suitable financial support for those with tertiary qualifications or professional qualifications. uFinance, Right After You!

Tainan City Bureau of Tourism is ready for the recovery of Tourism in Tainan

TAINAN, TAIWAN – Media OutReach – 27 September 2022 – At the end of 2019, the Taiwanese TV series “Someday or One Day” was broadcasted in various Asian countries and it created a viral wave for Tainan in the 1990s. There was a lot of discussions amongst the fans when the Series was being filmed in Tainan and with the upcoming remake, the Tainan City Bureau of Tourism used the historical and cultural attractions of the Series to create advertisements in South Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Malaysia to spark tourism in Tainan after the borders have been reopened.

Tainan, located in the southern part of Taiwan, is where everything started for Taiwan and has a long history and culture. It’s only 80 minutes on the HSR from the Taoyuan International Airport to Tainan and only a 50-minute drive from the Kaohsiung International Airport.

Tainan Mayor Huang Wei-che said that Tainan is the capital of tourism and the city has been actively making improvements to match international tourism. Even with the impact of COVID-19, Tainan is still one of the few cities with improving tourism. Kuo Chen-hui, director of the Tainan City’s Bureau of Tourism, remarked that Netflix has announced the remake of the “Someday or One Day” IP into a Korean TV Series. Most of the classic scenes in the original Series were filmed in Tainan and traveling there allows visitors to relive those romantic moments and enjoy Tainan’s delicious delicacies. Tainan is an ancient food capital that is rich in history and culture and many popular snacks and tourist attractions have been discussed internationally as business visas are already available to visitors and Taiwan is expected to issue tourism visas soon. The Tainan City Government has not only worked hard to promote its tourism online, but also locally promoted the City in various countries to showcase Tainan and welcome tourists once the borders are reopened.

One way that businesses can help keep their costs down is through search engine optimization (SEO). By optimizing their websites and improving their online presence, companies can ensure that they are seen by more consumers, even in times of economic hardship.

Traffv SEO Agency shares three ways that SEO can help businesses counter the effects of inflation:

1) SEO can help businesses save money on advertising.

By optimizing their website for search engines, businesses can ensure that they appear at the top of search engine results pages (SERPs). This means that they will be seen by more consumers without having to spend money on paid advertising.

• Organic clicks do not incur a direct cost, making SEO an effective way to reach consumers without spending much money. Paid advertising can be expensive, especially when inflation drives up the cost of goods and services.

• Organic clicks get more conversions as users trust organic results more. In times of economic hardship, many consumers seek ways to save money. They may be less likely to buy from businesses that they are not familiar with. So even though paid ads may get more clicks, a higher percentage of users will convert more when they click on an organic result.

2) The internet will remain the most effective sales channel.

Online sales have grown steadily over the past few years, and this trend is expected to continue during inflation. This means that there is a lot of potential for businesses to grow their online sales during inflation.

Singaporeans will spend less during inflation, but it will most likely be online when they do spend. This is because consumers will continue to shift their spending to online channels. If anything, online searches increase during the recession for most industries.

3) SEO can help businesses improve their brand image.

In times of economic hardship, it is important for businesses to maintain a positive brand image.

As mentioned earlier, consumers are looking for ways to save money they might be less likely to purchase from brands they don’t recognize. By appearing on the first page of Google, businesses can show consumers that they are still relevant and trusted, even in tough times.

This helps them build relevance, authority, and trust with their target audience, eventually increasing sales.

Investing in SEO during inflation can also help businesses build the data and analysis necessary to boost competitiveness in the long term. The insights gained through SEO can help brands improve their products and services and make better decisions about marketing and sales strategies.

So if you’re looking for ways to help your business cope with inflation, don’t forget about SEO, either doing it yourself or engaging an SEO agency. It may just be the key to maintaining your bottom line.

Kuo Chen-hui, director of Tainan City Bureau of Tourism, said that Tainan is a historic capital of food that has plenty of history and culture, and its popular delicacies have generated plenty of international discussion. With Tainan’s recreational and agricultural tourism being quite developed and liked by Malay/Singaporean Chinese, they account for 70% of foreign tourists experiencing Tainan’s farms every year as the recreational farms have intellectual and practical activities to stimulate their senses. Business visas are already available to visitors, and Taiwan will soon issue tourism visas. To promote the tourism of the City, the Tainan City Government has not only worked hard to promote its tourism online, but also cooperates with various Asian countries’ big cities to promote Tainan, showcase the beautiful city, and welcome tourists once the borders have been reopened.

Bernardi Susastyo, General Manager of Asia, GBG, said, “We are deeply honoured to be recognised for our work in AI & Machine Learning and Fraud Initiative in the Philippines at the ABF Awards. At GBG, we strive to continuously innovate and expand our fraud prevention capabilities to help customers like RCBC achieve the highest levels of security and compliance while building digital trust and minimising risk.

“We thank RCBC for their partnership and collaboration in building their enterprise financial crimes management systems. The impressive outcomes we have achieved together have been critical in preparing RCBC to effectively fight financial crime, and these ABF awards are a testament to our leadership and innovation in the sector.”

With 2022 looking to be a year of fine-tuning digital strategies, 71 per cent of technology decision-makers acknowledge that the pandemic has resulted in an acceleration of digital transformation efforts in their organisations. As more technologies are adopted in the era of Industry 4.0, it is even more crucial for financial institutions (FIs) to understand how to combat increased sophistication in fraud management. Machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) will remain crucial in the fight against fraud and financial crimes like money laundering.

According to a GBG-commissioned study by IDC, Next Gen Financial Crime Management Solution, 48.9 per cent of banks and FIs consider unsupervised ML an important functionality, and 76.8 per cent indicate their preference for either buying a financial crime management solution or utilising managed services from a solutions provider.

With regulators urging institutions in the sector to digitally transform, improve their security profile, and safeguard their risk and compliance management capabilities, RCBC capitalised on the opportunity and deployed GBG’s robust Enterprise Risk Technology Management technology portfolio to integrate its risk capabilities and coordination efforts. RCBC’s main objective was to address fraud investigations efficiently through automation while improving customer experience across channels.

With GBG on board, RCBC was able to leverage the platform’s user-friendly web client interface and the latest technology and ML models to perform muti-channel monitoring of customer transactions to detect fraud and other complex financial crimes, as well as ensure anti-money laundering (AML) compliance on a single platform. By delivering these solutions on a single omnichannel platform for a more holistic fraud management strategy, RCBC was able to move from post transaction monitoring to real-time transaction monitoring and scale resources as financial crime typologies evolve.

“We partnered with GBG in transforming our fraud risk management system, which has resulted in enhanced capability in our real-time anti-money laundering monitoring capabilities,” said Nilo Zantua, Senior Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, RCBC. “Machine learning and AI continues to be an important feature as we rely on this form of analytics to predict what the new fraud types and campaigns could look like and proactively defend against them.

“This is especially important as traditional rules-based solutions are found to have false positive rates, significantly contributing to alert fatigue and an inefficient approach to resource management.”

Bernardi Susastyo, General Manager of Asia, GBG, said: “As a leader in this space, GBG aims to focus on fraud management systems that are equipped with deep expertise and insights into how fraud crimes are set to evolve and what types of solutions and innovations are best suited to defend against them. We are also highly in tune with the evolving regulatory standards that are coming into effect in different markets, enabling us to improve our systems to help customers remain compliant as legislation changes.

“At GBG, we continue to strive not only to serve as a reputable partner in helping banks and financial institutions at risk against fraudster and financial criminals, but also support them in delivering a high level of quality service and solution without compromising on security and customer confidence in their brand. Our goal is to collaborate with these organisations to improve their customer experience by fostering trust in the digital world, mitigating financial crime risks, and ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements in our diverse and complex region.”

GBG currently serves more than 20,000 customers across 70 countries, including top tier banks and fintechs in the region.
