(HBO) – The Vietnam Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (Agribank) in Hoa Binh province (Agribank Hoa Binh) has launched a mobile banking office using a specialized van in Dong Tam commune, Lac Thuy district.
Leaders
of Agribank Hoa Binh present the decision to set up the mobile banking office
using a specialized van at its branch in Lac Thuy district.
Agribank Lac Thuy was the first among Agribank branches in Hoa
Binh to pilot the mobile banking office. The mobile banking vehicle in Lac Thuy
was among 38 others deployed by Agribank throughout the country in two phase.
In the first phase, 30 of its branches were provided with the banking vans.
Staff
of Agribank Lac Thuy are working inside the mobile banking vehicle.
The mobile banking van will be operational once or twice per
month, depending on local situation. It offers various banking services, such
as deposit, money withdrawal, savings, credit provision, debt collection, money
transfer and account opening, so people would not have to travel long distances
to visit a real banking office.
This model marks Agribank’s new big step to deliver modern banking
services to customers in rural and remote areas that can help them save time
and travel costs.
Speaking at the launching ceremony, Director of Agribank Hoa Binh
Pham Kien Cuong said the van-based mobile banking office is one of advanced
solutions that are beneficial to both Agribank and its customers. It reduces
geographic distance between the bank and people from 11 remote communes of Lac
Thuy district, he noted.
Cuong further said that the mobile office provides the locals with
easier access to loans and other banking services, which are expected to boost
the socio-economic development in the district in the coming years./.
