HONG KONG – Credit Suisse Group has lost two more senior private bankers in Hong Kong as attrition continues at the Swiss bank, according to sources.

Ms Mandy Loo, a managing director for the China market, and Mr Howard Wu, a team leader for Greater China investment consultants, have both left the bank, the sources said.

A Credit Suisse spokesman in Singapore confirmed the departures.

Ms Loo was with the bank for over a decade, while Mr Wu joined about 18 years ago, according to their LinkedIn profiles.
