Maritime Commercial Joint Stock Bank (MSB), based in Vietnam, is a leading financial institution with a strong commitment to digital transformation. Serving over 5.5 million individual and 100,000 corporate customers, MSB has positioned itself as a pioneer in modernizing Vietnam’s banking landscape. Its goal is to become a leader in digital platforms while delivering exceptional customer service experiences.

Challenges

Targeted solutions for

Outdated Mobile Application

MSB’s existing mobile app struggled to meet the increasing demands of both product development teams and transaction volumes. Frequent system overloads caused service interruptions, negatively impacting the customer experience and limiting the bank’s ability to grow its digital capabilities.

Fragmented Systems

MSB’s existing in-house applications lacked unification, leading to inefficiencies in operations and customer experience.

Cost and Scalability

Evolving customer expectations required seamless, omnichannel banking solutions to remain competitive. At the same time, reducing operational costs and achieving agility in product development were critical to scaling digital offerings efficiently.
