Vietnam Economic Times/VnEconomy hosts a seminar titled “Banks Partnering with Businesses: From Financing to Fostering Growth,” which is livestreamed on VnEconomy.vn and the VnEconomy FanPage on April 28, from 9am.
The event aims to clarify the current landscape, conditions, and solutions for the “digital enabler banking” model to effectively support businesses and drive sustainable growth.
In the context of rapid digital transformation, Vietnam’s banking system is moving beyond merely digitizing internal processes. Banks are now entering a new phase of proactively designing digital solutions to create value for customers, particularly in the corporate sector.
Notably, the emergence of the "digital enabler banking" concept reflects a new role for financial institutions. Banks are no longer just lenders or product sellers living off interest rates; they are becoming active participants in the operations, management, and growth of enterprises through digital platforms.
For businesses, this represents a major opportunity to access credit faster, manage cash flow more efficiently, and connect with broader business ecosystems. However, several practical questions remain: Are businesses ready to utilize these digital platforms? How far have banks actually come in their "digital enabler" journey, and are they truly solving business pain points? Where is the line between support and dependency?
To deeply analyze the conditions necessary for the "digital enabler banking" model to flourish in Vietnam, the seminar will also identify key bottlenecks, such as transition costs, data capacity, legal frameworks, and business readiness.
The seminar features a panel of distinguished experts, including Mr. Tran Quoc Chinh, Vice President of CMC Group, CEO of CMC Cyber Security; Assoc. Prof. Dr. Dang Ngoc Duc, Director of the Financial Technology Institute, Dai Nam University; and Mr. Ngo Xuan Vu, Deputy Secretary-General of Vietnam Economic Times/VnEconomy.
