HSBC Bank (Taiwan) Ltd (匯豐台灣商銀) aims to double online credit card applications by the end of this year, as digital banking becomes more popular and convenient, retail banking chief Linda Yip (葉清玉) said yesterday.

More than 40 percent of its customers file credit card applications online, Yip said, adding that the lender aims to raise the ratio to 80 percent by year-end.

“The goal is achievable, as many Taiwanese conduct all kinds of banking business over the Internet,” Yip told reporters in Taipei.
