1. VINCENT CHARLES OWUOR
Career Objectives
I intend to improve the living standards of my society through innovation and creativity.
My future ambition is to touch as many lives as possible in a positive way, and in turn,
inspire change and development. I consider myself very blessed to have been part of
Chase Bank IR reopening. New laws, thesis and even case studies are being done
regarding Chase Bank Kenya IR and its unheard of story of going under and in a record
21 days, re-emerging from the deep and not only so, but thriving! Customer confidence
beyond the roof, even before reopening. Because of this, I am already inspiring change
and development in my Country.

An honor to take part in bringing Chase Bank IR back to Operationalization.

Customer Experience, clients not only left their deposits, but also deposited more.
2. Getting in touch with our clients and with a lot of empathy, explaining our
current In Receivership situation and the way forward in regard to their finances.
I am proud of the fact that I directly took part in encouraging clients to continue
banking with us, since my Branch is top in transactions and my tellers are also
actually the best in terms of transactions. Due to the enabling environment and
balanced leadership, my Customer Service team has been able to consistently
activate dormant account almost in a daily basis due to the return of clients.
In my role, I have personally managed to frustrate four attempted fraud
incidences which would have resulted in a loss to the bank in millions. Due to
careful scrutiny of documents and adherence to Know Your Customer (KYC),
Prudential Guidelines and Anti Money Laundering (AML) Policies, I have
managed to keep at bay fraud.

different personalities. In account of all this, I am glad to say that I have worked
with the best young minds in the industry. Very agile, tech savvy and also very
vibrant full of innovative ideas. I have so far come up with over five ideas of
which some are in the pipeline for implementation.

staff members who contributed to my growth in branch operations.
When I got back to Kisumu Branch, I took up the role of Credit Officer in a bid to slow
down and push down the branch Portfolio at Risk (PAR).

3. seamlessly settle down and increase my experience by interacting with a different
market. The senior role helped me position myself for growth as it gave me confidence
since I was alone handling all clients at the customer service desk.

branch and did so for quite some time. When Kisumu Express Naivas branch was
opened, I was recommended for the position and I took it up serving as Teller/Customer
Service and also business Development. I was later recalled to the main branch where I
had to relieve the Assistant Branch Manager when he went on leave for 2 weeks.
Immediately he came back, I went to Narok Branch to again relieve the Assistant
branch manager for 2 weeks. When I got back, the Assistant Branch Manager was
promoted to Branch Manager of Kericho Branch and I took up the role.
