Amazon Q Developer, powered by Amazon Bedrock, is a generative artificial intelligence (AI) powered conversational assistant for developers, which helps them understand, build, extend, and operate AWS applications. When used in an integrated development environment (IDE), it provides software development assistance, including providing inline code completions, generating net new code, scanning for security vulnerabilities, and code upgrades and improvements.

 

Techcombank's first trial of Amazon Q Developer with 50 developers saw impressive results – with internal team satisfaction scores reaching 80% - reflecting the positive impact it had on productivity and code quality. Encouraged by this success, Techcombank began scaling it to around 600 developers. Since then, the team has generated more than 135 thousand lines of code, achieved a significantly improved feature acceptance rate of 33.5%, and a documentation acceptance rate of 90.5%. The tool has also been instrumental in performing security scans on over 102 thousand lines of Java/C code, identifying over 15 thousand reports and issues to enhance code quality and strengthen security standards.

 

 

Techcombank has used Amazon Q Developer to accelerate the development cycle of its Techcombank Mobile banking application. Using Amazon Q Developer (with features such as Code Suggestions, Fix and Explain Code and AI Commit Message), Techcombank cut feature development time and saved an estimated 572 days’ worth of manual development effort in just three months, translating to a 30% increase in overall productivity. These improvements have empowered Techcombank to respond quickly to customer needs, delivering personalized and seamless digital banking experiences to its 15,4 million clients.

 

“Techcombank is committed to pioneering digital transformation in Vietnam’s banking industry, and AI is at the core of our strategy. As the first and only bank in Vietnam to enhance developer efficiency with Amazon Q Developer, we are not only improving productivity but also setting new standards for innovation and security in financial services. This is a key step in our long-term vision of leveraging cloud and AI to provide the best possible digital banking experience”, Nguyen Anh Tuan, Chief Technology Officer, Techcombank.

 

 

Driven by these results, Techcombank plans to expand the use of Amazon Q Developer to all its developer workforce in 2025, targeting new use cases such as automating codebase refactoring and debugging application logic issues. This aligns with Techcombank’s broader “Cloud-First” strategy, which has positioned the bank as a leader in digital transformation. Since 2022, Techcombank has been working closely with AWS to modernize its infrastructure, enhance data-driven decision making, and create cutting-edge digital banking solutions.

 

This strategic investment in AI-powered development tools reflects Techcombank’s commitment to driving innovation and setting new standards for digital banking excellence in Vietnam and beyond.

 

"AI adoption is accelerating rapidly across Vietnam, driven by the country’s vibrant digital economy and strong commitment to digital transformation. Techcombank’s impressive results with Amazon Q Developer highlight the transformative power of generative AI in modern software development. By streamlining workflows and enhancing security, we’re proud to support Techcombank in accelerating innovation and delivering exceptional digital experiences to millions of customers," said Eric Yeo, Country General Manager, AWS Vietnam.

 

Techcombank continues to lead the way in redefining digital banking in Vietnam by embracing AI and cloud technologies. With a strong focus on innovation, security, and customer-centricity, the bank is setting new industry benchmark, offering seamless, data-driven, and AI-powered financial services to millions of customers.
