Overview
WealthBriefingAsia is excited to announce the launch of its 2023 Greater China Awards programme.
Now in its eighth year, and building on the long-established success of its independent judging process, nominations for The Eighth Annual WealthBriefingAsia Greater China Awards 2023 are now open.
WINNING AN AWARD
Winning a WealthBriefingAsia Award sets organisations and individuals apart from their peers. The award is a tangible demonstration that the winners have something special to offer, rewarding achievement and showcasing top class performance and innovation.
Should your firm be successful, there is a wide range of ways in which the achievement can be promoted, ranging from logos, editorial and website entries, social media postings, professionally produced videos, and entry into the Annual Winners Acclaim magazine.
Whilst the judging process is completely independent of the commercial arrangements between the participants and the organisers it is expected that winners have a financial obligation to work with the organisers to promote their award and this obligation is separate to attendance at an awards ceremony if one is held.
CATEGORIES
For the 2023 Awards, the categories are again focused around these main areas:
Private Banking including Individual Country Categories
Specialist Categories
Individual Awards

smartKYC’s AI software is used by banks to automate customer due diligence whether for remediation, onboarding, refresh or continuous monitoring; our technology drives faster, better, and more cost- effective KYC at every stage of the relationship – liberating human effort to focus on decision-making rather than laborious screening and research. smartKYC integrates all relevant KYC sources - external watchlists, media archives, open web search, private company data, internal blacklists and, like a human, it reads everything and extracts useful intelligence in the form of facts. smartKYC presents facts about risks like adverse media, but also provides insights into information like source of wealth, network risk and even ESG misdemeanours. Sophisticated hit scoring maximises relevance and minimises false positives. All of this is done at speed and at scale and, as such, straight through processing opportunities become obvious. In refresh or continuous monitoring mode, smartKYC watches only for net new risks as they emerge and never repeats what is already known.
