HSBC Bank (Vietnam) Ltd. will soon double its reach in Hanoi to four outlets serving customers throughout Vietnam’s capital city as it opens two more transaction offices following the Tay Ho Transaction Office that was opened last week. The Hoan Kiem Transaction Office was officially opened today (28 April) and the Phan Chu Trinh Transaction Office will be inaugurated on 6 May.
“Now HSBC has four prominent outlets for customers in Vietnam’s capital city – our flagship branch at Pacific Place and three transaction offices in the heart of Hanoi,” says Thomas Tobin, chief executive officer of HSBC Bank (Vietnam) Ltd. “All feature the latest contemporary in-store design and technologically advanced banking facilities. Our new distribution points offer both corporate and personal customers a wide range of products and services, made more convenient by our expanded network.”
These additional two transaction offices follow the inauguration of the Tay Ho transaction office on 22 April, making HSBC the first wholly foreign-owned bank in Vietnam with both branches and transaction offices in place.
Centrally located at Asia Tower, 6 Nha Tho Street, Hoan Kiem District, the Hoan Kiem Transaction Office covers 106 square metres on the ground floor. The Phan Chu Trinh Transaction Office at the Sun Red River building, 23 Phan Chu Trinh, Hoan Kiem District covers 241 square metres on the ground floor with a further 301 square metres of first floor space.
The Bank’s plan to extend its distribution reach will continue with three more transaction offices to be opened in Ho Chi Minh City in the coming weeks.
HSBC was the first foreign bank within Vietnam’s fast-growing banking sector to begin operating as a full locally incorporated bank on 1 January 2009. With its three new outlets in Tay Ho, Hoan Kiem and Phan Chu Trinh, HSBC is the first and only wholly foreign-owned bank in Vietnam with both branches and transaction offices in place.
