Over the past three years, Eximbank implemented a suite of strategic initiatives: restructuring its loan portfolio for safety and efficiency, focusing on retail and SME clients; diversifying non-credit revenue streams, particularly in international payments and foreign exchange; and optimizing operations through standardized processes and advanced technology.
A cornerstone of Eximbank’s strategy is its digital transformation. The bank launched EDigi for retail customers and EBiz for corporate clients, adopted CRM/ESale+ and Way4 card systems, and integrated modern payment methods like Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay, and cross-border QR codes. Leveraging AI, GenAI, RPA, and cloud computing, Eximbank enhanced operational efficiency, reduced costs, and strengthened security—elevating customer experiences while solidifying its competitive edge and sustainability foundation.
Addressing the ceremony, Mr. Nguyễn Hồ Hoàng Vũ, Deputy CEO of Eximbank, stated: “Being honored in both prestigious categories at APEA 2025 is a testament to Eximbank’s relentless efforts. This achievement reflects our long-term strategy, customer trust, and our team’s dedication. It fuels our commitment to accelerate growth, enhance customer experiences, and create lasting value for the community.”

Beyond growth, Eximbank prioritizes risk management, transparency, and sustainability. Employing a “three lines of defense” risk model, the bank champions ESG initiatives—including paperless banking, eKYC, green financing, and partnerships with the Asian Development Bank (ADB)—while refining internal governance mechanisms.
APEA 2025 adds to Eximbank’s impressive 2025 accolades, including the Sao Khuê Award, Outstanding Digital Transformation Product, Top 50 Most Effective Vietnamese Companies, Vietnam’s Top 10 Innovative Brands, and international payment quality awards from Citibank and J.P. Morgan. These milestones underscore Eximbank’s long-term vision and market leadership.
Global recognition strengthens Eximbank’s brand and fosters international partnerships. The APEA 2025 wins embody its “Transform – Elevate” pledge: driving innovation, service excellence, and sustainable contributions to Vietnam’s financial sector.
