Bridging Traditional Finance & Emerging Innovation

We were honored to join the World Financial Innovation Series (WFIS) Vietnam — one of the country’s premier gatherings of banking and fintech leaders — to spotlight the future of digital finance.

 

In a standout session moderated by our Founder, Nicole Nguyen, the panel brought together senior decision-makers from some of Vietnam’s most influential financial institutions:

• Mr. Cong Quynh Lan Tran – Deputy General Director / CIO, VietinBank

• Mr. Frank Luong – Chief Information Officer, OCB (Orient Commercial Bank)

• Ms. Nguyen Thi Nga – Director of Digital Banking, PVcomBank

 

What We Discussed

From digital transformation strategies to cybersecurity best practices and the future of customer-centric banking, the conversation unpacked how Vietnam’s banking sector is evolving to meet the demands of a digital-first era.

 

💡 Key themes included:

• Designing secure, scalable digital infrastructures

• Meeting rising consumer expectations in the mobile-first age

• Aligning regulatory frameworks with innovation-driven growth
