Chinese banks cut branches at a faster pace as costs bite and digital banking grows in popularity
Chinese banks are accelerating the pace of bank branch closures this year as they seek to ramp up digital services and reduce costs. Mainland lenders have closed 430 bricks-and-mortar locations in the first three months of this year, mainland media reported citing the China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission, that's at a faster clip than 1,300 closures last year. The country already boasts one of the world's highest rates for transactions completed away from physical bank locations, known as "off-counter rates". These transactions, which include online and mobile banking, rose 12 per cent in 2020, topping 2,308 trillion yuan (US$352.5 trillion), according to mainland media reports citing data from the China Banking Association's 2020 annual report. Mobile banking transactions alone rose 31 per cent to 439.2 trillion yuan last year, according to the report. Do you have questions about the biggest topics and trends from around the world?

However, mainland banks are facing further pressure to reduce their costs. "I expect closure of banks' physical branches will continue throughout 2021. The pandemic has made commercial banks more cautious about controlling costs, particularly for mid-tier banks, which are more sensitive to cost pressure," said Jason Guo, banking and capital markets leader at Deloitte China based in Beijing. More digital capabilities, in turn, will empower inclusive financing in mainland China, also a government priority, he said. Even as they are culling physical locations, Chinese banks will need to maintain branches in counties away from major cities or rural areas to support the government's goal of promoting financial inclusion, Guo said. One example is China Construction Bank. The lender "closed and consolidated" some 237 branches last year, but also disclosed that it opened 63 new ones with half of those new locations in counties. Its branch network spans 14,000. "The positioning of our branches is skewed towards counties," the bank said in its 2020 annual report. Agricultural Bank of China, which boasted 22,000 branches at the end of last year, said about 17 per cent of its branches were located in poorer regions of the country. At the same time, it reconfigured 69 branches as flagship "smart banking" branches built on 5G mobile technology. A branch of Postal Savings Bank of China in Hangzhou, east China's Zhejiang province.

"Our operational branches is where our traditional advantage lies. When banking services are increasingly going digital and delivered online, branches have the relative advantage in building customers' trust, providing complex financial services and in delivering 'warm' services," the bank said in its 2020 annual report.
