The report also noted that 25 percent of banks in Vietnam will actively pursue modern digital core platforms, while the top eight banks will use intelligent automation in account origination, with 50 percent growth in new accounts.
Riddhi Dutta, Regional Sales Head for Asean & India at Backbase, said that banks in Vietnam are pouring capital into digital platforms to boost growth.
Small banks, he predicted, will gain more success in digital banking.
