  • The Associate Training Program: Tailored for those pursuing a professional track, this program integrates local and headquarters resources, including mentorship and job rotations, to prepare future Senior Bankers with essential practical and leadership skills.

A Pioneer in Workplace Innovation

CUBHCM also received the inaugural “Tech Empowerment Award,” distinguishing it as one of only 16 organizations across Asia recognized for transforming the employee experience through technology. The award reflects the bank’s digital-forward approach, including promoting innovation by encouraging employees to explore and apply new technologies in their daily work, as well as investing in cutting-edge systems to streamline operations and elevate the employee experience. This focus not only aligns with CUB’s broader digital transformation strategy but also cultivates a culture of efficiency, agility, and innovation.

“We are proud to be recognized as a Best Company to Work for in Asia. As we look ahead to the next 20 years, we remain committed to local talent development, embracing technological transformation, and building a resilient, people-centric organization,” Lu Wei Chieh, General Manager of CUBHCM stated.

Targeting the personalized needs of tourists from the ROK for golf playing, the Zone has built a standardized golf course which is equipped with professional coaches, bilingual services between Chinese and Korean, coffee and casual dining options, etc.

On the first day of its operation which fell on July 7 this year, the golf course received its first tour group consisting of over 140 tourists from the ROK.

Apart from the integrated development of tourism, sports and culture, Wehai has also been focusing on building a distinctive inbound tourism product system since the beginning of this year. Meanwhile, it has carried out cultural and tourism promotion activities in key overseas tourist markets, and encouraged travel agencies to increase efforts in attracting tourists from overseas markets.
