It will help Vietnamese people improve their financial management skills and boost the community’s financial literacy.

The online banking library is completely free and available to anyone with internet access.

Participants will have an unprecedented opportunity to not only improve personal financial skills and learn about banking systems, but also gain a better understanding of banking products and services.

The library comprises of 10 modules, ranging from personal financial courses to corporate banking courses including: savings, credit cards, home mortgages, personal instalment loans, trade, spot foreign exchange, forward foreign exchange, global markets, money markets and commercial banking.

All modules include progress tests so that people can check whether they have fully understood the material as they follow the course.

The content is based on HSBC’s world-class database of training materials used by banking staff globally for professional development purposes.

The modules have been carefully reviewed and translated into Vietnamese by HSBC Vietnam volunteers including staff and senior executives to ensure the course meets the specific needs of the Vietnamese community.

“We encourage potential partners to also use this library and its materials for their own education projects,” said HSBC Vietnam CEO Sumit Dutta.
