In the period under review, the bank’s business volume increased significantly by 28% while value of payments grew a stellar 45%. Healthy growth in volumes and value helped the bank strengthen CASA and average deposit balances while grew its market share of deposits to higher single digits.

A successful receivables management mandate delivered for a large utility company

The bank implemented a receivables management solution for a large utility service provider with more than 20 million retail and corporate customers. The provider was grappling with inefficiencies of handling large amounts of cash, largely collected via door-to-door, over-thecounter at post offices and banks, or in convenience stores. That being said, only 20% of client’s customers made payments through banking system. Techcombank’s offered an eportal solution which connects provider with bank’s core system, proved to be an innovative payment solution covering more than 1 million provider’s customers. This additionally helped the expand its own wallet share to 3.4%.

Customer-centric solutions built around enhancing client’s ecosystem network
