Abstract: Abstract Wealth management services for high-net-worth individuals in Taiwan have grown rapidly over the last decade. This study used a decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory approach to identify the criteria affecting the performance of Taiwan wealth management banks during the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) period. This research surveyed 17 executives from Taiwanese banks using 13 criteria covering three dimensions: bank performance, professionalism, and customer relationship. The results indicated that customer relationship and professionalism have an influence on key performance. Customer involvement (in customer relationship), innovative products and services (in professionalism), and customer satisfaction (in key performance) are the most influential criteria. The results suggest that banks can attract and retain customers by increasing their uses of products and services, developing innovative products, and improving customer satisfaction despite the negative effect of COVID-19. The findings of this study benefit wealth management bank managers in sustaining fee and commission income from high-net-worth customers in the midst of adverse social and economic events.
