Ronald Iu
Ronald Iu started his career in banking and finance industry after he graduated from CityU in 1999. In October 2020, he was appointed the Chief Executive of Airstar Bank, a virtual bank in Hong Kong jointly established by Xiaomi Corporation and AMTD Group. Prior to that, Ronald had served in senior management and CEO roles for over 10 years with experience ranging from risk management, sales and marketing to the development of new fintech products. Here he shared how the training in CityU helped his career, he also talked about the vision of Airstar Bank.
It was an honour to be appointed as Chief Executive of Airstar Bank in 2020. Airstar Bank as a pioneer of a virtual banking in Hong Kong, promises 5-star banking services that everyone deserves. Leveraging state-of-the-art technology and low operating costs, we break away from the traditional banking model to bring Hong Kong people speedy services and stellar privileges. At Airstar Bank, everyone is a superstar, because everyone deserves better banking services.
While we celebrate huge success in our business results, we also achieve a lot in terms of personal fulfilment and job satisfaction, with pride and grace as we are doing something beneficial to the people. It’s meaningful. I tell my sons, that I (of course along with the Airstar Bank’s team) have built a bank; what will you do to make yourself proud?
