Private banks in Asia are investing more in omni-channel delivery following the maturation of technology security and compliance, according to consulting firm OneAston.
“We see a trend of private banks investing more towards their channels due to the technology being more mature and secure,” Dave White, CEO at OneAston, told Asian Private Banker.
In particular, private banks are increasingly delivering services via smartphones and tablets to Asia’s tech-savvy clientele, from communication channels — such as instant messaging and video chat — to advisory, trade execution, and client onboarding.
“A large number of the projects we undertake are compliance-related, of which we receive a constant flow, and we would expect this trend to continue in the years to come,” said White.
Despite the uptrend of omni-channel delivery, White is sceptical that the strategy will become prevalent when it comes to trading as the stringent suitability checks involved will likely dent customer experience.
“It is uncertain as to whether transaction automation will be a huge success within private banking because — for compliance reasons — the banks require full pre-trade control and it is hard to satisfy compliance checks without impacting the user experience,” explained White.
Although most in the private banking industry agree that multi-channel delivery is a promising way to attract the next generation of HNWIs, the features offered by private banks’ online platforms have some ways to go. A 2018 survey conducted by the Private Wealth Management Association (PWMA) and KPMG China revealed that just over half (54%) of respondents believe the industry’s digital capabilities do not meet clients’ expectations.
Nonetheless, White is optimistic that private banks’ heightened efforts in exploring omni-channel technology will result in the improvement of customer satisfaction.
“You do start to see more effort and money being put into channel delivery, so I think there will be ongoing evolution from a technology point of view,” concluded White.

As an existing user of Triple’A Plus, Bank of Montreal will be replacing their existing core banking system with T24 adopting the integrated WealthSuite strategy of Temenos.
With a targeted live date of August 2017, T24 will be implemented as the core transaction processing, settlement and accounting solution of the Private Bank. It will be linked to Triple’A Plus which will perform the client onboarding, order capture and collateral management functions, together with the detailed client reporting. The combined solution will cover the wide range of investment products offered by the Private Bank and will improve the operational efficiency moving forward.
As an existing service provider of the Bank of Montreal for the Triple’A solution, and with their detailed knowledge of the T24 application, OneAston was chosen as the prime implementation partner working together with the Bank of Montreal and Temenos teams to ensure the successful deployment of the solution. OneAston will be responsible for providing the business consultancy, integration and system configuration of the combined solution.
