VietinBank

With about one-third of Vietnam’s population still lacking access to formal financial services, VietinBank is working to address the problem with its rural credit and financial literacy work. The state-owned bank (otherwise known as the Vietnam Joint Stock Commercial Bank for Industry and Trade) has taken part in its home country’s financial inclusion strategy, aiming to set up 80% of adults with bank accounts. VietinBank is also delivering financial literacy programs to underserved populations, and launched the Youth Connect card to help foster strong money management skills among students.
