(HBO) – The Vietnam Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (Agribank) in Hoa Binh province (Agribank Hoa Binh) has launched a mobile banking office using a specialized van in Dong Tam commune, Lac Thuy district.
Leaders
of Agribank Hoa Binh present the decision to set up the mobile banking office
using a specialized van at its branch in Lac Thuy district.
Agribank Lac Thuy was the first among Agribank branches in Hoa
Binh to pilot the mobile banking office. The mobile banking vehicle in Lac Thuy
was among 38 others deployed by Agribank throughout the country in two phase.
In the first phase, 30 of its branches were provided with the banking vans.
Staff
of Agribank Lac Thuy are working inside the mobile banking vehicle.
The mobile banking van will be operational once or twice per
month, depending on local situation. It offers various banking services, such
as deposit, money withdrawal, savings, credit provision, debt collection, money
transfer and account opening, so people would not have to travel long distances
to visit a real banking office.
This model marks Agribank’s new big step to deliver modern banking
services to customers in rural and remote areas that can help them save time
and travel costs.
Speaking at the launching ceremony, Director of Agribank Hoa Binh
Pham Kien Cuong said the van-based mobile banking office is one of advanced
solutions that are beneficial to both Agribank and its customers. It reduces
geographic distance between the bank and people from 11 remote communes of Lac
Thuy district, he noted.
Cuong further said that the mobile office provides the locals with
easier access to loans and other banking services, which are expected to boost
the socio-economic development in the district in the coming years./.
In recent years, the education and training sector of Hoa Binh province has achieved notable accomplishments, with a strong focus on spearhead education, which has yielded significant results.
With just over a month left until the school summer break, students are eagerly anticipating a period of rest and fun after a year of academic pressure. To provide a healthy environment for the physical development, in addition to the classes that foster talents and enhance the academic knowledge, sports and physical activities continue to attract a large number of children and teenagers.
On April 17th, Hoa Binh Provincial Museum organized a program to promote and introduce the outstanding values of "Hoa Binh Culture” at the Boarding Secondary and High School for ethnic minority students in Mai Chau District.
The Hoa Binh College of Technical Technology, in collaboration with the Hoa Binh Technical and Economic College and the provincial Association of Literature and Arts, hosted a gathering on April 15 to celebrate Laos’ traditional Bunpimay (New Year) Festival 2025 and debut the new book "Nguoi Muong o ban Don” (Muong people in Don village).
In the millennia-long history of national construction and safeguarding, people of all ethnic groups in Hoa Binh have been united and closely bound together to overcome all difficulties and challenges, standing alongside the entire Vietnamese people throughout the history of building and defending the country.
Living green is a healthy, positive, and sustainable lifestyle that not only helps protect
the environment and quality of life but also conserves natural resources and ecosystems.
Among the many ways to embrace this lifestyle, reducing plastic consumption is one of the most impactful.
