The Bank of China Association criticizes bad habits
The Bank of China Association stated that the incident exposed some bad styles and bad habits derived and formed in the course of business development of some banks, which had a bad influence on the industry and also sounded a wake-up call for strengthening the construction of a clean culture in the banking industry.
In the view of the China Banking Association, there are three deep-seated reasons as follows. First, the accumulated drawbacks of the "drinking table culture" are difficult to eliminate. In the past few years, some banks did have a phenomenon of "drinking table culture" in the process of marketing customers and soliciting depositors. "The amount of alcohol equals the amount of business", "Doing things depend on food and drink", "Reception is also productivity" and other unhealthy trends once prevailed. In the intertwining of coveting, unspoken rules, profit transfer, etc. were secretive, and "the wine glass is one end, the business is talkative, and the chopsticks are all right." In the eyes of some bank leaders, drinking more and less is a question of ability, and whether or not to drink is a question of attitude. Under the influence of this kind of thinking inertia, drinking has become a "standard" to consider whether employees are capable.
Second, the bad habits of "circle culture" still exist. A small number of bank leaders love to engage in "small circles" in their work and life. People in the circle hold solidarity alliances, blow trumpets, and carry sedan chairs; they use people to draw lines, exclude dissidents, and hinder them. The "small circle" reflects the feudal "official philosophy" and is the "community of interests" created by the market economy's profitability. In this incident, individual bank leaders engaged in "small circles" and tried to draw a circle with toasts. They were dissatisfied and beat others if they did not act according to the meaning of "chief officer".
Third, the "luxury style" has been repeatedly banned. Disregarding the spirit of the central government, the leaders of the banks involved openly entered and exited high-end restaurants, party booze, high-standard spending, severely violated the spirit of the central "Eight Regulations" and the requirements of the "anti-four winds", reflecting the lack of discipline and ethics of the leaders of the banks involved. Deeply promote the indifference of anti-corruption work.
The Bank of China Association pointed out that this incident revealed that some banks still have personal attachments, paternalistic management, official style, workplace bullying, lack of respect for employees, and other bad habits that are contrary to the morals. If they are allowed to develop, they will Will cause serious damage to the social image of the industry.

Proposed to establish a blacklist for banking practitioners
The Bank of China Association pointed out that the bank's statement issued to the outside world only takes understatement such as serious warnings and deductions for performance, which is tantamount to fines for three glasses of alcohol, and the industry and the general public are quite criticized. The bank involved must be the first person responsible for reputational risk management, insist on cutting the edge inward, and taking the lead. For such behaviors that damage the image of the industry and cause bad effects, they must "make heavy blows", "ruthless", and "zero". Tolerance", in accordance with party discipline, state laws and relevant internal bank management regulations, the corresponding parties shall be dealt with strictly.
Recently, the China Banking Association revised the "Code of Professional Ethics and Conduct for Banking Practitioners" to strengthen industry self-discipline, and plans to establish a blacklist for banking practitioners.
"In the future, those practitioners who have caused serious losses and negative impacts on the industry due to bad behavior will be considered for inclusion in the industry banned blacklist. For bank branches that have similar behaviors and incidents that damage the image of the industry, the "one-vote veto system" will be adopted. "During the period when the rectification is not implemented, it is prohibited from participating in the evaluation activities of civilized and standardized services such as the "Star-rated Outlets", "Top 100, Top Thousand Units" of the Bank of China Association." The Bank of China Association said.
The China Banking Association requires the establishment of a scientific assessment mechanism, establish a correct employment orientation, and change the past bad employment orientations and assessment standards such as "using deposits as heroes" and "using relationships as capable people". It is necessary to get rid of the attachment of small circles and small gangs such as flattery and gang formation, eliminate the deformed power and nepotism caused by "circle culture", and establish a fair and just selection and employment mechanism.
The Bank of China Association bluntly stated that in the context of the central government’s three orders, five applications, eight regulations, six prohibitions, and the spirit of anti-four winds, the leaders of the branch gathered crowds to eat and drink in high-end venues. This is a typical act that disregards the spirit of the central government and violates the clean financial culture.
The Bank of China Association pointed out that it is necessary to consciously purify the social circle, life circle, and circle of friends, do not form gangs in the work unit, do not call each other brothers and brothers in private, do not engage in small circles; do not "worship the dock" or set up antennas through organizing dinners, networking and other activities "Sugar daddy", transfer benefits or form interest groups.
