The Vietnam Technological and Commercial Joint Stock Bank (Techcombank) announced on September 27 the opening of two new buildings in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City that will serve as the bank’s headquarters.

Located in the heart of Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City’s bustling business districts, the two world-class, energy-efficient buildings are wholly-owned and developed by Techcombank. The unveiling of the new headquarters comes as the bank celebrates its 30th anniversary and confirms its position among the leading banks in Asia.

The two buildings were designed by world-renowned architectural firm Foster + Partners, and are the first buildings designed by the company to be opened in Vietnam. Each has a unique design that reflects the historic and cultural heritage of their city. Inside, their open design aim to bring people together to facilitate cooperation and innovation.

Mr. Jens Lottner, CEO of Techcombank, said the headquarters are in two world-class financial buildings in prime locations in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City that all Techcombank employees can be proud of. The designs by Foster + Partners have created open and cooperative working environments that will encourage innovation and the sharing of ideas. “Each building will help to empower our people so that they can better serve our customers, while also contributing to the sustainable development of Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City,” he said.

The opening of the two new buildings was celebrated with immersive digital art exhibitions designed to showcase Vietnam’s cultural heritage. At Techcombank Tower in Hanoi, a collection of digital artworks was displayed that represent the synergy of heritage and future that is embodied in the building’s design. At Techcombank Tower Saigon, the exhibition connected architecture, nature, and people in a way that expresses the city’s “dynamic and constant movement.” The two exhibitions were the largest digital art installations to be shown in Vietnam.

Techcombank’s new headquarters offer employees excellent working environments comparable to modern buildings found in other global financial centers. Their design incorporates open workspaces and modern amenities that reflects the bank’s strong commitment to creating the best working conditions for its people.

In 2022 and 2023, Techcombank became the first Vietnamese bank to hold Overseas Talent Roadshows when it visited Singapore, the US, the UK, and Australia to recruit Vietnamese-born talent to return to the country and work for the bank.

It also recently became the first and only Vietnamese bank to be named in the top 11 “Best Workplaces in Asia 2023” by Great Place to Work (GPTW), a leading global organization that assesses workplace culture. This is testament to Techcombank’s relentless efforts on its 30-year journey of development to invest in its people and create a working environment and culture that empowers them to achieve their full potential.

“The opening of our two new state-of-the-art office buildings not only redefines our physical presence but also sets new standards for workplace innovation,” said Mr. Lottner. “With modern amenities, sustainable design, and a focus on fostering creativity and cooperation, the buildings reflect our dedication to excellence. Techcombank can now offer a working environment comparable to leading global organizations and this confirms our commitment to attracting and empowering the best talent.”
