The "one-stop" customer manager responsibility system of the bank includes two meanings:
First, for every customer, including multinational companies and large enterprise groups, no matter how many subsidiaries, affiliated companies and holding companies there are, only one customer manager is fully responsible for their business;
Second, the customer manager is the general financial adviser of the customer, who should not only do a good job in customer development, management and maintenance, but also provide customers with strategic planning, market research and judgment, investment experts Financial advisor , business operation, etc.
As a result, the functions of its account managers have changed a lot. Their vision is no longer limited to credit business or other product sales, but focuses on providing customers with comprehensive services. Each customer manager is a profit point. It not only manages customers, but also directly accepts customer business, and has a large business authority. For example, within its authorization, it can determine the product charging standard of specific customers. After signing with the risk manager stationed by the risk department, it can release loans within the scope of approval of the risk manager. If the approval authority of the risk manager is exceeded, the risk manager shall apply to the head office for authorization, and the customer manager has the right to explain and defend. Therefore, there are basically only two links from the acceptance of a loan to the issuance, the first is the risk manager of the branch, the second is the risk department of the head office, and there is no other intermediate process.
Dresdner Bank This kind of customer manager responsibility system was established in 2003 and has achieved remarkable results. It has fundamentally solved the problems of too long decision-making chain and low internal work efficiency. For example, after Hamburg Branch adopted this system, it vigorously carried out organizational restructuring, implemented centralized management, and basically concentrated the original decentralized customer manager offices in Hamburg. The original eight international business document departments in the whole region have been reduced to three, with a staff reduction of about 40%, but the efficiency has increased by 30%.

High requirements

The "one-stop" customer manager responsibility system undoubtedly puts forward high requirements for customer managers, but customer managers are not omnipotent. More and more complex financial products cannot be mastered by one person. Therefore, there must be strong support behind customer managers. In addition to obtaining various information and data provided by the Head Office directly on the intranet, the customer action team set up in the corporate bank plays a key supporting role.
From the perspective of customers, each customer has only one customer manager, who can handle all business simply by contacting the customer manager, which is convenient and fast. For specific financial products, customers can also directly contact the corresponding product manager; For customer managers, when specific product support is needed, they only need to contact the action team members of the customer directly, without contacting or discussing with the department leader of the product manager, or contacting the head office R&D or support department of the product, so the internal efficiency is very high; For product managers, they are responsible for the sales and service of a specific product or type of product. On the one hand, they are easy to master the business and give play to their expertise. On the other hand, they are also members of the customer action team. Their personal performance is related to them, and it is not easy to argue internally.

The bank took advantage of its account manager responsibility system to actively help customers analyze, design product portfolios and service programs that meet customer requirements and meet customer interests, and achieve a win-win situation between the bank and customers. For example, in the insurance business of corporate banks, banks do not simply sell ordinary insurance products, but account managers Insurance With the cooperation of the staff, design various insurance portfolios for the company's customers that meet their overall financial situation and support their long-term development. For another example, for more abundant cash management and payment products, banks can provide multiple functions including cash collection, cross-border payment and so on according to customers' needs. Customers can also choose to be handled by banks or through E-banking Self management. with Corporate Banking There are different versions of e-banking with online banking as the core, such as personal version, SME version, enterprise group and multinational enterprise version, and different versions have different functions, prices and operation modes. The customer manager should help the customer select the most appropriate version and tailor the system functions.
Secondly, the bank provides some unique products and services that are popular with customers. For example, enterprises often need to open accounts in foreign banks as the first step towards internationalization, but they often encounter difficulties due to their lack of familiarity with language, laws and regulations. To this end, the Bank signed agreements with other foreign banks, and set up a special person in the corporate bank headquarters to open accounts for enterprises in foreign banks. Enterprises only need to contact their customer managers, and the bank can handle procedures and provide all relevant documents. For another example, the Bank divided international payment into external payment (the debit account is in Germany) and international payment (the debit account is outside Germany). Although the total amount of international payments is very small, and the number and amount of payments only account for about 2% of the total amount of payments, it is the most complicated and the most troublesome kind for customers. To this end, the corporate bank headquarters of the Bank set up a full-time team and provided corresponding electronic products for customer service.
