- CHAPTER 5 COMPETITIVE DEVELOPMENTS
- Introduction
- The CEE banking landscape is dominated by strategic foreign investors
- HVB/UniCredit merger will drastically transform the CEE banking
landscape
- The biggest effect of the merger will be felt in the Polish banking
market
- Hungary - a recognition of the market's growth potential has resulted in
fierce competition for private banking clients
- A period of further consolidation is likely for the Hungarian banking
sector
- The private banking landscape is dominated by subsidiaries of
international banks
- Raiffeisen Bank is the undisputed private banking leader
- The Hungarian private banking market is becoming increasingly crowded
- Poland - already hotly contested wealth management sector faces further
consolidation
- Recent consolidation has led to domination by foreign competitors
- Relative underdevelopment of the private banking sector offers
considerable future potential
- Private banking pioneer, BRE Bank, is still the strongest competitor
in the sector
- The Czech Republic - private banking client segment is considered to be
the most attractive in the CEE
- Foreign competitors enjoy a position of complete domination in the
Czech banking market
- Established private banking subsidiaries are being challenged by
specialized niche players
- Foreign competitors also dominate the domestic private banking sector
- CHAPTER 6 CLIENT TRENDS AND NEEDS
- Introduction
- Hungary - conservative clients and bureaucracy inhibit the development
of potential new private banking products
- Private banks' rather unimaginative offerings reflect conservative
mentality of Hungarian investors
- International investment products are expected to become more popular
- Offshore services have not yet taken off
- 'Private banking' services are often misrepresented
- Few players specifically target higher mass-affluent segment
- High yields and low costs have attracted foreign competitors to the
domestic investment fund sector
- High fees may inhibit foreign players' success following the
introduction of the Euro
- Customer segmentation - art investors represent a promising private
banking client niche in Hungary
- Other customer niches are also attracting attention....
- Poland - innovative private banking product development is slowly
gathering momentum
- The nature of Polish banking clients mean that private banking is
primarily oriented towards the active management of funds
- The majority of services offered to wealthy Poles do not fall under
the remit of 'private banking' services
- Very few providers offer 'true' private banking services to their
wealthy clients
- The traditional private banking market place is dominated by foreign
players
- Increasing sophistication of clients is benefiting new private banking
product and services development
- Asset management products are gathering momentum
- A recent new tax legislation has sparked off the development of
tax-efficient investment vehicles
- Hedge funds have also made an appearance
- Financial advisory services offering is also expanding
- Customer acquisition - targeting the attractive self-employed segment
is proving challenging
- The Czech Republic - the lack of demand from cautious investors has
hindered the development of 'true' private banking services
- The majority of wealthy Czechs are largely content with traditional
banking products
- Few Czech clients are able to take advantage of 'true' private banking
services
- The threshold levels for various private banking offerings vary from
EUR50,000 to EUR0.5m
- Many competitors supplement their private basic banking offering by
additional non-financial services
- 'True' private banking product innovation developments are somewhat
thin on the ground
- Customer acquisition - regional expansion looks like the way forward
