Tet is a time for reunion and celebration with family after a year of hard work. However, for many, the joy of reunion sometimes comes with the stress of traveling during peak season. Anh Tuan, a 35-year-old construction worker from Quang Ngai working in Binh Duong, used to be all too familiar with the long queues at the bus station to buy tickets home for Tet.
This year, thanks to BIDV SmartBanking, things have become much easier for him. Gone are the days of waiting in line, taking time off work, and worrying about sold-out tickets or having to buy overpriced tickets from resellers. As soon as he received the promotional notification from the bank, Anh Tuan proactively booked his tickets with just a few taps on his phone. He excitedly shared, “With BIDV SmartBanking, I can choose the bus company, select my preferred seat and departure time, and receive my e-ticket all through the app, without the worry of losing my ticket. It’s both time-saving and cost-effective, as I saved almost VND 100,000.”
Like Anh Tuan, Chi Mai, a 32-year-old worker from Nghe An at a garment factory in Binh Tan, also faced the challenge of traveling home for Tet. With a new addition to their family, she and her husband couldn’t travel by motorbike this year. Upon her colleague’s recommendation, she tried booking train tickets on BIDV SmartBanking: “I used to think that banking apps were only for receiving salaries and making transfers. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that I could also book train and bus tickets! My husband and I just booked our train tickets on BIDV SmartBanking and even applied a discount code to save on our travel expenses this Tet.”
Anh Tuan and Chi Mai are not alone in benefiting from the “Hòa nhịp đón Tết” (“Tet Rhythm Harmony”) program on BIDV SmartBanking. Thousands of customers are currently enjoying the perks of this initiative.
Currently, BIDV SmartBanking offers a 20% discount of up to VND 50,000 on train and bus tickets for short-distance trips and a VND 100,000 discount on orders over VND 500,000 for long-distance trips, helping customers across the country save on their travel expenses during Tet.
The ticket booking service on BIDV SmartBanking boasts a wide network, allowing customers to search, compare, and book bus tickets from nearly 900 reputable bus companies nationwide and train tickets for all routes operated by Vietnam Railways, ensuring they get the best deal. Customers simply need to log in to the app, select “Vé tàu/Vé xe” (“Train/Bus Tickets”), choose their departure and arrival points, preferred departure time, select their journey, choose their seats, apply a discount code, make the payment, and receive their tickets online.
Previously, BIDV also presented many workers facing financial difficulties in industrial parks in various provinces, such as Tra Vinh, Binh Duong, Ben Tre, Dong Nai, and Long An, with discount codes for transportation and Tet shopping on BIDV SmartBanking, helping to ease their travel expenses and bringing a warmer and more complete Tet holiday for them and their families.
In addition to the cost-saving benefits, BIDV SmartBanking also conveys a heartfelt Tet message, “Đường xa hóa gần” (“Faraway Roads Become Closer”), on the trains and buses traveling to all parts of the country. These journeys now carry messages like “Passing through the land of Nẫu, heading to the land of Quang, for a peaceful Tet”; “Heading to Can Tho for a brilliant Tet”; “To Tra Vinh, where we welcome Tet”; “To Phan Thiet, where Tet is filled with heartfelt affection”; and “To the southern tip, where Tet is full of joy”… These trips are no longer just about the destination but also about connecting loved ones.
With BIDV SmartBanking, Tet is not just about returning home but also about nurturing relationships and spreading warmth. No matter the geographical distance, BIDV SmartBanking is committed to accompanying customers, transforming their journeys into moments of closeness, warmth, and fulfillment.
The “Hòa nhịp đón Tết” program by BIDV SmartBanking is still ongoing until January 28, offering attractive prizes and promotions with a total value of up to VND 20 billion.
