The bank is steadfast in its orientation of sustainable, safe and effective development, continuously improving its management capacity according to international standards and modern models.
According to banking and finance expert - Associate Professor Dinh Trong Thinh, a strong financial foundation is a measure to affirm the Bank's reputation in the market, thereby being the basis for expanding capital attraction from residents, businesses or mobilizing from the bond market with appropriate interest rates and terms.
