Final Report on Focused Review on Incentive Systems of Front Offices in Retail Banks

The Hong Kong Monetary Authority conducted a comprehensive review of the incentive systems for front offices in 20 retail banks to identify industry-wide challenges and best practices. The report highlights four common challenges, including misaligned financial targets and insufficient non-financial rewards, which can inadvertently encourage misconduct and poor customer outcomes. It establishes six guiding principles for incentive design, such as prioritizing customer outcomes and leveraging intrinsic motivators, to help banks reinforce sound culture and minimize mis-selling behaviors.
