Besides traditional distribution networks such as transaction offices, branches, ACB is constantly developing internet banking and mobile applications. We believe that through this partnership with FWD - an insurance partner has a prominent advantage in digitalization, ACB will enhance the diversity of service channels, helping ACB's customers to easily purchase bancassurance products anywhere, anytime."

Mr. Huynh Huu Khang, CEO of FWD Vietnam said: "We're absolutely thrilled to partner with ACB. The partnership between the two parties shares the same purpose of providing the right financial products for customers and leading customer experience via state-of-the-art technological innovation.
