據外電報導，國泰集團少東蔡宗翰元月16日起將擔任7-ELEVEn馬來西亞控股公司的獨立及非執行董事。由於大馬7-ELEVEn背後控股是馬來西亞前五大集團、亞洲富豪陳志遠擁有的「成功集團」，蔡宗翰將任新職務，是否國泰與成功二大集團未來有多種發展可能？引發市場揣測。公司發言人鄧崇儀指出，國泰金控本身無涉及此投資，目前尚無任何資訊。

據馬來西亞《每日太陽報》報導，42歲的蔡宗翰是國泰金旗下國泰世華銀行副董事長。他同時也是國泰人壽董事。7-ELEVEn馬來西亞控股公司已任命蔡宗翰擔任非獨立及非執行董事，2019年1月16日生效。

這次傳出蔡宗翰將任7-ELEVEn馬來西亞控股公司擔任獨董，最受關注的是其背後控股是馬來西亞前五大集團的「成功集團」，集團總裁陳志遠是馬來西亞拿督與亞洲重量級華裔企業家。

成功集團旗下包括7-11、麥當勞、星巴克、多家大型購物中心、吉隆坡成功集團時代廣場，40多個渡假村、建設公司、保險公司、物流等150餘家企業與十餘家上市公司。國泰集團與成功集團，未來是否攜手在馬來西亞或其他東南亞國家有進一步的合作，尤其國泰世華在新南向、東協布局已是國內民營銀行之首，未來動向備受矚目的焦點。

目前擔任國泰世華銀行副董的蔡宗翰，本人非常低調，在媒體面前絕不發言，一律以「謝謝」兩字回應，但近年來逐步協助集團年輕化，決策也講求效率與活潑，近來集團繳出不少亮眼成績，外界也大都習慣歸功於他，也一度傳出讓老父蔡宏圖有點意見。不過因為蔡宏圖多次表達希望讓公司「所有權跟經營權分開」，讓國泰金這個台灣首富集團的接班問題，屢屢成為市場熱議的話題，而對少主蔡宗翰未來的安排更是揣測紛紛。

蔡宗翰2015年加入國泰世華銀行擔任策略長，2016年成為副董事長，持續監督策略規劃、財富管理、數位銀行，數據分析，近來被冠以的亮眼成績單，最為人津津樂道的Cotsco聯名卡一戰，以租約換發卡權方式，從強勁對手中國信託銀行手中搶下發行權，也讓國泰世華與中國信託去年數度爭霸國內信用卡霸主寶座，同時2017年國泰世華銀拿下國內7-ELEVEN單行後，也鎖定全家便利商店及全聯超市進擊，除此之外，以國泰人壽資源投入高鐵桃園站產業專區開發、收購丹麥的資產管理公司股權等，也都讓市場留下深刻的印象。
