According to Le Thi Kim Xuan, head of the Vietnam Banks’ Association representative office in Ho Chi Minh City, the extensive international integration allows money laundering activities to expand and become more sophisticated, targeting developing countries with a high ratio of cash use.
Meanwhile, Nguyen Dinh Tung, OCB General Director, said that the project is an important step forwards of the bank, reflecting its pro-activeness in applying advanced technologies to enhance risk management capacity and observing regulations in the field.
