For SMEs owned by women, BIDV always proactively and diligently works with foreign donors to support customers effectively and comprehensively in both financial and non-financial aspects.”
Over the past period, BIDV has made continuous efforts to launch the first SMEasy digital platform (https://smeasy.bidv.com.vn) in Vietnam, specifically for SMEs, available on both website and mobile app platforms.
SMEasy is designed as a "One-Stop Shop" model, boasting superior features, a user-friendly interface, and optimized for each user, helping SMEs access banking products and services most effectively. The program also supports SMEs in accessing digital transformation solutions; connecting and expanding business operations; providing tools and guides for business management, product and service communication; and especially online training courses on the SME Academy.
In addition, BIDV has implemented many digital transformation solutions, conducted seminars to improve access to finance, and organized a series of capacity-building programs for SMEs…
Supporting SMEs, including women-owned SMEs, is a priority for the Government and requires the joint efforts of ministries, organizations, and commercial banks.
