OCB remains tech-savvy

Orient Commercial Joint Stock Bank has announced plans to further invest in technology this year.

 

Technology is going to become indispensable, and it would fall in line with the trend to bring customers better and more secure services, the lender said.

More digital technology products and more services on applications are on the cards, and it would keep researching to adopt new technologies like blockchain and DevOps (software development and information technology operations), it said.

The lender has been investing in technologies for long and is one of the first three banks in Việt Nam to achieve Basel II standards.

It has many certificates for information security.

Last week in Thailand OCB receives two awards from the UK-based International Finance magazine for the Most Innovative Digital Bank in 2018 and Best New Omni Channel Platform.

OCB is the first digital bank in Việt Nam to win them.

The OCB Omni-channel is a digital platform that allows customers to use all its products without visiting a branch.

The lender said it is connecting with partners to design more products like payment using QR code, buying movie tickets and tour booking.

These are set to be launched this year.
