The Vietnam Export-Import Commercial
Joint Stock Bank (Vietnam Eximbank) has officially joined GlobePass, an
alliance network of financial institutions in the Asia-Pacific region,
to raise its prestige and the quality of service for both domestic and
foreign customers.
Eximbank made the announcement in
Ho Chi Minh City on March 8, saying it was the first bank in Vietnam to
join such a network.
GlobePass membership will allow Eximbank to offer customers high-grade
financial services and more utilities and help the government achieve
the goal of phasing out payments in cash. The bank is now able to
provide discount programmes for Vietnamese institutions that accept
credit cards.
GlobalPass credit-card holders will enjoy privileges such as discounts,
coupons, and gifts at the alliance network’s 277 merchants in 11
countries and territories in the Asia-Pacific region, including Japan,
the Republic of Korea, Malaysia, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan,
Singapore, the Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia and Vietnam.
GlobePass, which now has over 100 million cardholders with cards issued
from 12 member banks in the above-said countries and territories, aims
to boost cooperation among global financial institutions.
Eximbank has 34 merchants that have offered 42 coupons./.
