Public banks are enhancing their overseas talent development initiatives, focusing on four key abilities: financial expertise, language skills, industry knowledge, and stress resistance. As banks continue to deploy personnel to overseas branches, recruitment numbers are on an upward trend, with current overseas staffing estimated between 100 to 250.

The international expansion strategy of Taiwan's major banks emphasizes the importance of overseas experience, as many financial elites continually rise to senior positions. Notably, at First Bank, the upward trajectory began with Huang Tianlin's return from the London branch, followed by others like Zeng Jiancheng and Li Yinguai, leading to current CEO Zhou Zhaochong, all with significant accomplishments in regions like Singapore, the U.S., and ASEAN.

Currently, Mega International Commercial Bank reports a total of about 200 to 250 personnel stationed at overseas branches, and plans to dispatch 50 to 75 new employees this year to support business expansion. Meanwhile, Cooperative Bank has maintained around 200 overseas reserve personnel over the last three years, conducting annual selections that include criteria such as work experience, performance reviews, language proficiency, and relevant business expertise.

Land Bank primarily focuses on credit staffing to support the new Brisbane branch in Australia, prioritizing non-mainland regions. Taiwan Bank, last year, recruited 26 overseas talents, a 4% increase from two years ago, and this year continues to invite applications both externally and internally due to business growth and personnel needs.
