Newgen and FPT IS join hands on digitisation

Currently, the credit market in Vietnam has seen rapid growth along with outstanding development of the economy.

This poses many challenges for financial institutions since they have to adapt to changes in customer habits, rapid development of IT, among others.

In addition, the strong emergence of fintech companies and non-financial service providers in the lending market with new and technology-based operational methods also puts a great deal of pressure on financial institutions in transforming their operational methods.

Newgen suggests a number of technology solutions to assist financial institutions in setting up the lending process on digital platforms.

With a presentation themed “Reimagining digital lending: The low code way”, Swaminathan Ganesan - Business Consulting director, APAC and AZ at Newgen Software - highlighted the importance of fintech companies in conquering customers in the digital era.

Digital transformation creates outstanding advantages for companies to seize opportunities and better serve Generation Y and Generation Z customers, who have the most demand for payment methods today.

In addition, with the use of technologies, companies can effectively implement initiatives and improvements to meet the increasingly high expectations of customers.
