There’s something truly special about being in Hanoi during the turn of August to September. Visitors are blessed with pleasant weather, and the city buzzes with a festive atmosphere as red and yellow flags adorn every street, celebrating the nation’s independence. This year, the National Citizen Bank (NCB) joined the festivities with the launch of its limited-edition “Pride” Visa Platinum credit card, a tribute to Vietnam’s rich history and a symbol of patriotism.

Hanoi’s streets are filled with festive decorations, including the iconic red and yellow flags, creating a vibrant and patriotic atmosphere.
The “Pride” card is more than just a financial tool; it embodies the spirit of nationalism and reflects the bank’s vision for a prosperous Vietnam. It has become an essential accessory for many during the 2/9 holiday, a tangible reminder of their country’s proud history.

The “Pride” Visa Platinum card from NCB, with its patriotic design, serves as a constant reminder of the country’s rich history and a source of national pride.
The card’s design is a testament to NCB’s attention to detail and respect for the nation’s past. The first version features an iconic image of Ho Chi Minh reading the Declaration of Independence at Ba Dinh Square on September 2, 1945, marking the birth of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam. The second version showcases a vibrant map of Vietnam set against the backdrop of the Dong Son drum, emphasizing territorial integrity and the country’s aspirations for a bright future.

The second version of the “Pride” card features a stunning visualization of Vietnam’s map on the Dong Son drum, symbolizing the country’s rich heritage and aspirations for a bright future.
“The design of the NCB Visa Platinum ‘Pride’ card is more than just a visual appeal; it carries our love for the country and our determination to forge a brighter future,” said a representative from NCB. “We believe that each time our customers use this card, they will feel a sense of patriotism and pride in our nation’s journey towards independence, freedom, and happiness.”

The “Pride” card serves as a tangible reminder of Vietnam’s proud history and a source of patriotism, especially when used during the festive season.
Holding the “Pride” card, adorned in the colors of the Vietnamese flag, while walking through the festive streets of Hanoi or standing beneath the iconic Hanoi flag tower, is an indescribable feeling. It’s a moment that captures the essence of national pride and the beauty of unity.
The sense of patriotism extends beyond the capital, with the southern regions also celebrating this significant milestone. The streets of Ho Chi Minh City are alive with the same vibrant flags, and the spirit of independence is palpable in every smile and photograph, a true testament to the country’s unity.

The festive spirit of Independence Day is not limited to Hanoi, as Ho Chi Minh City also joins in the celebrations, with streets adorned in patriotic decorations and smiles of national pride.
As Vietnam commemorates the 80th anniversary of its independence, it’s important to reflect on how far the country has come. The image of the red and yellow flag flying high over Hanoi on that historic day remains etched in the memories of many, just like the familiar poem that captures the essence of this significant event: “Nắng Ba Đình mùa thu. Thắm vàng trên lăng Bác. Vẫn trong vắt bầu trời. Ngày tuyên ngôn Độc lập” (The sun shines on Ba Dinh in autumn. Golden yellow above Uncle Ho’s mausoleum. Still clear in the sky. The day of the Declaration of Independence)
Pride is an invaluable emotion, and it is one of the most precious legacies passed down through generations of Vietnamese people. The “Pride” card series by NCB, including the previously launched “Unity” card for the 50th anniversary of the country’s reunification, is a unique fusion of modern financial tools and historical patriotism. These cards serve as a constant reminder of the nation’s proud history and a symbol of the indomitable spirit of its people.

NCB’s “Pride” card series, including the “Unity” card launched earlier this year, combines financial convenience with historical patriotism, making them unique and meaningful accessories for Vietnamese citizens.
As a token of appreciation during this historic period, NCB is offering a special gift set to customers who sign up for the “Pride” Visa Platinum card. This set includes a passport wallet, luggage tag, and AirTag, all designed with a sophisticated red and gold theme. Accompanying these items is a heartfelt thank-you note and a card mailer, emphasizing the bank’s gratitude and celebrating the nation’s vibrant spirit.
