“The Power of Biometrics: Revolutionizing Vietnam’s Banking Sector”
According to statistics from the State Bank of Vietnam, as of August 15, the banking sector has successfully captured and biometrically verified nearly 124 million individual customer records (CIF), representing a remarkable 100% of all personal transaction accounts conducted through digital channels.
For organizational customers, over 1.3 million records have undergone biometric verification, again achieving 100% coverage of all digital transaction accounts.

100% of individual and organizational transaction accounts are now biometrically verified.
This initiative has yielded significant positive outcomes in data cleansing, contributing to a nearly 60% reduction in fraud cases and a 52% decrease in accounts associated with fraudulent activities compared to pre-biometric verification periods.
The National Credit Information Center (CIC) has collaborated with Department C06 of the Ministry of Public Security to complete six offline data cleansing campaigns, encompassing approximately 57 million customer records.
