The concerns of the island commune "surrounded by water"

Thanh An is an island commune located about 70km from the center of Ho Chi Minh City. With its isolated geographical location, completely separated from the mainland, this place is classified as a particularly difficult group of the city. All trading and travel activities of the people mainly depend on trains and boats.

This isolation has created an invisible barrier, making it difficult for many islanders to access and use banking and financial services to meet their living and production needs. All financial transactions, from receiving pensions, depositing savings to borrowing capital for production and business, have become difficult, time-consuming and costly.

From understanding to decisive action

Understanding these difficulties, during a working trip to Can Gio district in June, Mr. To Huy Vu, Party Secretary and Chairman of the Board of Members of Agribank, directly grasped the thoughts and aspirations of the local government and people. Immediately after that, the Board of Directors of Agribank directed the urgent installation of AutoBank CDM machines in the island commune.

The Chairman of the Board of Members of Agribank hopes that the early operation of the AutoBank CDM machine in Thanh An island commune will promptly support people in accessing banking services, serving essential needs and overcoming infrastructure barriers.

This is a testament to the determination of Agribank, a State-owned commercial bank that is always a pioneer in implementing the policies of the Party and the Government , especially in investing in "Agriculture, Rural Development" and disadvantaged areas.

A life-changing "touch point"

AutoBank CDM is not just a regular ATM, it is a new generation "mini bank", allowing customers to perform a variety of transactions such as deposits, withdrawals, transfers, bill payments... without having to go to the counter.

The introduction of AutoBank CDM machines in Thanh An island commune helps save time and costs, people no longer have to go to the mainland to conduct financial transactions. Production and business activities will become more convenient, cash flow will be circulated easily, contributing to promoting the local economy.

The presence of AutoBank CDM machines helps people access safe financial services, limit black credit and gradually move towards cashless payments, thereby supporting the promotion of comprehensive finance.
