“VIB’s orientation is to become a world-class financial institution, aiming to be the most innovative and customer centric bank in Vietnam,” said Han Ngoc Vu, chairman of VIB’s board of directors

This package is specifically customised and developed for FDI enterprises. Customers will have a wide range of diversified products and services such as cash management, e-banking, trade financing, loans and guarantee issuance and so on.

VIB’s strength lies in its wide network of 150 branches and transaction offices in 27 provinces and cities.

Meanwhile, VIB provides professional and qualified staff with rich banking experiences in foreign banks and financial institutions. Currently, it has 4,300 staff serving  over one million customers nationwide.

Particularly with Commonwealth Bank of Australia’s (CBA) long-term commitment and financial support, VIB has strong foundation for business development plans of corporate customers in Vietnam and in the world market as well.

“Both VIB and CBA share the objective of being number one bank for customer experience in our respective countries. With CBA's increased investment in VIB, we have expanded our commitment to capability transfer to help the bank implement its business and operation plans and to grow sustainable,” said Wayne Hoy, CBA Sydney International Financial Services general manager.
