Further promoting agility in a digital corporate culture
(1) Digital engagement and user experience
Continuously enhancing our retail mobile app, helping customers achieve more from their finances, increasing customer satisfaction

- 57% of TCBS’ new customers in 2022 were onboarded via Techcombank Mobile.
New customer experiences – Mèo Đại Cát ‘in app’ lucky draw
Over two million customers took part, with over 17 million tickets redeemed.
The app’s daily log-in rate during the program grew by more than 20%. The social media buzz generated meant that, in November 2022, Techcombank had the second highest online presence of all Vietnamese banks.
Centralised payment management
We continued our innovation journey by enabling pay-by-push (one-touch payment via mobile phone) in our T-Pay suite of collection solutions.
T-Pay solutions drove more than 17% of Techcombank’s in-store payments.
Simple and intelligent banking with personalised insights

67% logging in more often and customers also spending an average 20 seconds longer per login. With personalised nudges, the click-through rate reached 10-13% and thousands of customers were encouraged to start saving and investing.
