Chao Yang-ching, chairwoman of the Financial Information Service Co., is the driving force behind stable interbank financial transactions財金公司董事長趙揚清 穩定金融跨行交易推手

Chao Yang-ching, former Director-General of the National Treasury Agency, Ministry of Finance, and Commissioner of the Fair Trade Commission, is one of the few outstanding female executives in Taiwan. Almost three years since she became chairwoman of the Financial Information Service Co. in July, 2008, Chao has achieved remarkable results. With regard to fund transfers, in order to revitalize the domestic USD bill market and at the same time make it convenient for corporations and individuals to transfer USD, she started a domestic USD transferring business in December, 2010. This makes it possible for transfers of USD between banks in Taiwan to be cleared directly in Taiwan, saving on time and money that used to go into overseas SWIFT clearance and providing the public with a cheaper, faster and more convenient domestic USD transfer service.
曾擔任財政部國庫署署長、公平交易委員會主任委員的趙揚清,是國內少見傑出的女性主管。自2008年7月接任財金公司董事長,將屆3年,她繳出了多張漂亮成績單。在通匯方面,為活絡國內美元票券市場,同時便利企業及個人的美元匯款需求,在2010年12月開辦境內美元匯款業務,促成國內銀行間美元跨行通匯直接在國內完成清算,節省以往須繞道國外SWIFT清算的作業時間與成本,提供大眾以較低廉的手續費,享受更便捷的境內美元匯款服務。

She shared this story: In the past when offshore money transfers had to be done through a third party, a person wired some money from Taiwan to his account in France prior to his trip there, but after he returned to Taiwan two weeks later, the money still had not arrived! It is not hard to imagine how time consuming it is to wire money via a third location, and it could easily cost over NT$1,000 to do so. After the domestic USD transfer business was started, not only did the transfer costs drop to NT$200, the processing time also significantly shortened, helping customers save a lot of time and money. Less than a month after the USD transfer service was launched trading volume had reached as high as USD 200 million.
她分享一則故事:過去透過境外第三方匯款時,有人赴法旅遊,錢由台灣匯去法國帳戶,兩星期後他返台,錢還沒有匯至帳戶!以往透過第三地的匯款曠日費時,可想而知;而匯款手續費起碼也要新台幣1,000元以上。開辦境內美元匯款業務後,不僅匯款成本降至200元,時間更大為縮短,為客戶節省不少時間及費用。美元匯款業務推出未滿1個月,成交量就高達2億美元。
