In addition to network expansion, ABBANK is intensifying investment in upgrading systems and technologies. Its data center houses all important information technology application networks such as core banking, SWIFT, inter-bank payment and office automation. The bank also operates a standby data center. It is deploying the latest versions of information technology applications, including core-banking T24, CRM and MIS/BI.

Mr. Nguyen Hung Manh, General Director of ABBANK, said: “Regarding retail banking, Vietnamese banks still have limited services, technologies and governance. Therefore, ABBANK is shifting from extensive development to intensive development by focusing on renewing technology, and improving governance and risk management capacity. With this strategy, ABBANK is growing quickly with good financial indexes and business performances, while ensuring the network safety with sustainable development.”
