Abstract
Hang Seng Bank is the second-largest locally incorporated bank and the fifth-largest public company in Hong Kong. Due to growing consumer demand, peer pressure and pressure to improve profits, Hang Seng launched e-banking in August 2000. This case provides a study of why Hang Seng accelerated its on-line banking strategies, critical issues in its implementation of strategies, and how Hang Seng is differentiating its on-line banking from that of other banks. Hang Seng has been serving customers throughout Hong Kong since 1933; it has been regarded as a reliable and traditional community bank. The case discusses how e-banking is helping Hang Seng to strengthen its new image as a contemporary and progressive bank. The case also presents the issue of how to measure the profitability of on-line banking and/or technology investment.
