HSBC’s e-banking service launched in Vietnam

The Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation (HSBC) officially launched its e-banking service in Vietnam on August 25 to meet the increasing demand of local businesses.

The service will help customers get quick, convenient and safe transactions as they can access their accounts 24 hours day and seven days a week anywhere, right in office, even in hotel or at home.

According to the General Director of HSBC in Vietnam, Thomas Tobin, Vietnam is considered a promising market for e-banking service because the country has a young population and a high rate of internet access, which is expected to reach 25 percent by the end of this year.

The same day, HSBC also introduced its ATM card service for businesses to help them have a quick access to their accounts. Accordingly, clients can hold three cards bearing the same account of HSBC and they can withdraw money from a network of 108 ATMs of HSBC and 250 ATMs of Techcombank.
