HCM CITY — HDBank signed an agreement with Thought Machine, a core banking solutions provider to global tier one banks, on February 25 during the official visit of President Nguyễn Xuân Phúc to Singapore.

In Việt Nam, HDBank will cooperate with Thought Machine to install the latest version of the latter’s world leading core banking system and build new standards for it.

HDBank and Thought Machine have been developing and deploying technology solutions for financial services in Việt Nam on the Amazon Web Services modern cloud platform.

From this base, HDBank will embrace the global digitization trend with great confidence, providing the best financial and banking products and services to customers in the shortest possible time and with unique customization.
