ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE

STRATEGY

STRATEGY

We have successfully established Techcombank as one of Vietnam’s leading Joint Stock Commercial Banks. Our strategy
is focused on providing a full range of banking products and services to two primary customer groups:

Vietnam's rapidly growing number of SMEs; and

Vietnam's increasingly wealthy retail customers, especially those in the affluent (financial asset at least of US$60,000
and mass affluent (annual income of at least US$4,500).

We have steadily built our status as the leading SME and retail bank since we embarked on this strategy in 2000. The keys
to our success have included:


Report

Building a strong nationwide distribution network – We have the 2nd largest distribution network in terms of branch
locations and largest network in terms of ATM locations among Vietnam’s JSCBs. This extensive footprint gives us
excellent coverage of the key urban markets that have high concentrations of SME and affluent/mass-affluent retail
customers. Persistent and disciplined growth of this network has been fundamental to our growth. As such, our deposits
from customers have grown at a significantly higher rate compared to our peers.

Leading the industry in product and service innovation – We have stayed ahead of the curve in introducing
innovative products and services that offer customers greater convenience and functionality.

Boosting productivity, enhancing service quality and controlling risk through effective use of technology – Our
progressive application of technology has enabled us to achieve higher growth and deliver superior execution for our
clients.

Aligning with strong strategic partners – We have realized tremendous benefits from our strategic partnership with
our two largest shareholders, HSBC and Ma San Group Corporation (Masan Group).

Relentless focus on best practices and execution – We constantly strive to apply the best in international banking
practices and deliver superior execution in all areas of our operations, whether in customer services, operations, risk
management or IT & systems.

Prudent approach to banking combined with rigorous risk management – We have adopted a conservative
approach to lending and liquidity management, supported by a well-developed risk governance structure and risk
management policies and procedures.

Focus on secured lending with high levels of collateral;
Maintain a liquid balance sheet and a conservative loan-to-deposit ratio of 65.4% as of 31 December 2010; and

Adopt robust risk management systems, including being the first Bank in Vietnam to separate credit marketing from
credit approval and to have a specialized market risk management function.
Cultivation of the best banking talent and a customer-centric service culture.

We aim to extend our franchise as a leading bank and further strengthen our market position by executing on these
strategic pillars:

Focusing on our core customer segments to drive sustainable, high-quality growth;

Deepening our physical and electronic distribution channels;
Expanding our deposit base, primarily from retail customers;

Lending to core customers, combining high-margin loan products with robust credit controls;

Increasing transaction and fee services to generate high-margin, low risk, loyalty-building income streams;

Consolidating market share and profitability via new product offerings and world class customer services;

Continually enhance our risk management platform;
Maintaining a conservative risk profile, with a particular focus on

Maintaining a strong funding base and liquid balance sheet;


Report

Secured, asset-backed lending

Maintaining a diversified loan portfolio with minimal exposure to SOEs and real estate development;

Maintaining high capitalization ratios in excess of regulatory requirements; and

Adopting International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS”) accounting standards.

PARTNERS

SHAREHOLDERS

Masan Group has a 31% interest in Techcombank as of June 30, 2011. HSBC is the other substantial shareholder, with

VIETNAM BANKING OVERVIEW

SECTOR OVERVIEW

In Vietnam, as in other emerging markets, the banks that have built strong franchises in the right market segments and
implementedrobust risk governance structures have the potential for strong growth and attractive returns on capital.
Banking provides a leveraged play on the economy as financial intermediation grows in importance and bank instruments
replace cash. For all of the banking sector’s rapid growth over the last several years, the banking sector remains
underpenetrated and SOEs continue to account for most loans in the banking system. According to Euromonitor, only 13%
of Vietnam’s population had access to the banking system as of 2010. It is also estimated that Vietnamese consumers only
held approximately 550,000 credit cards as of 30 June 2011, a level which certainly has much room to grow as GDP per
capita rises. Futher, various estimates place the amount of physical gold and USD held outside the banking system at
approximately US$40-70 billion (equivalent to 40-70% of GDP). It is expected that much of this wealth will eventually flow
into the Vietnamese banking system.

Vietnam’s banking sector has grown rapidly for most of the past decade. The reasons for investors’ aversion to the sector
are understandable. Rapid credit growth led to Vietnam’s domestic credit as a percentage of GDP ballooning from 71% in
2006 to the high (but not yet critical) level of 130% in 2010. More recently, many banks have struggled as tight monetary
policy has revealed underlying weaknesses in terms of limited access to funding and illiquid and undercapitalized balance
sheets. The quality of banking sector assets and risk controls remains a concern. As discussed elsewhere in this website,
we stands out for our strengths in many areas that are weaknesses for the banking sector overall, such as our liquid
balance sheet, strong deposit franchise and robust risk controls which we believe will enable us to capitalized on the sector
opportunity.

SECTOR OVERVIEW

RETAIL AND SME SECTOR

We believe that SME and retail banking is the right sector focus for Vietnam due to:

Rapid growth of the private sector and of household incomes, consumption and wealth – Vietnam’s GDP per
capita tripled from US$440 in 2002 to US$1,327 in 2010. 1 Growth in incomes as translated to growing consumption, with
retail sales growing by 24.5% in 2010. 2


Report

Rapid growth of SME sector – Vietnam’s private sector (including SMEs) has grown rapidly over the last several years,
with the number of private enterprises increasing by an estimated 50% between 2008 and 2010.


Report

High productivity of the private sector (including SMEs) compared to SOEs – Studies indicate that over 1999-2009,
the incremental capital output ratio (i.e, the incremental amount of capital required to produce an incremental unit of
output) was just 3.74 for Vietnam’s private sector, versus 8.28 for the country’s SOEs.3 This statistic indicates that
Vietnam’s private enterprises have a better track record of deploying capital to generate returns.

Huge potential for growth in SME and retail banking, given
Relatively low leverage of Vietnam’s private sector and households - Private sector borrowing comprises just 46% of
domestic credit, one of the lowest levels in Asia ex-Japan. 4

Low penetration rates for basic retail banking products – According to Euromonitor, just 13% of Vietnamese aged 15
years or older have a formal relationship (e.g., current/savings account, checking account, credit card) with a bank or
other financial institution as of 2010. By this measure, banking sector penetration in Vietnam is less than half the level
seen in Indonesia, the Philippines and roughly one quarter of the level in India, China, Thailand and Malaysia.5 As of 30
June 2011, it is estimated that Vietnamese consumers held just 550,000 credit cards compared to a robust labor force
over 50 million. 6 In addition, Vietnam’s retail lending as a percentage of GDP is lower than that of most of the higher
income emerging markets. These data points suggest that retail banking has tremendous potential to grow as the
country develops.


Report

Very attractive risk/return profile of SME and retail lending – SME and retail lending tend to command higher
lending rates than large corporate and SOE loans. Given the margins, credit risk and collateral levels associated with
SME and retail lending, TCB believes these segments offer very attractive risk/return profiles.

INDUSTRY REPORTS

INDUSTRY REPORTS

BANKING REGULATION

The Vietnamese banking industry is strictly regulated. The primary legislation governing the banking industry is the Law on
Credit Institutions (the "Law on Credit Institutions”) enacted by the National Assembly, which took effect on 1 January 2011.
It specifies permitted activities for commercial banks and non-bank credit institutions (i.e., financial companies, financial
leasing companies, and other non-bank credit institutions).

The main regulator of the banking industry is the State Bank of Vietnam ("SBV”), the country’s central bank. SBV’s major
regulatory responsibilities include:

Licensing of banks, including approval of changes to a bank’s areas of operation and chartered capital, establishment of
new branches, corporate actions such as mergers or consolidations and, in some cases, introduction of new banking
products and services;
Establishing regulations to ensure the safety and soundness of the Vietnamese banking system, including setting
minimum prudential ratios and policies and procedures to be adopted by banks; and

Supervision of licensed credit institutions to ensure compliance with the terms of their licenses and SBV regulations.

In addition, SBV has promulgated regulations regarding the interest rates that banks may charge to borrowers and pay to
depositors and limiting the rate of loan growth in the banking sector. In 2011, for instance,SBV has sought to contain credit
growth for the year to 20% and set a ceiling of 14% for VND deposit rates.

Many other policies adopted by SBV in its monetary and foreign exchange management roles also affect the banking
system. Major examples include:

The statutory reserves banks are required to maintain with SBV;
Open market operations to manage liquidity in the banking system; and

Regulations governing the sale of gold and foreign exchange

Over the last several years, SBV has pursued increased capital requirements as part of its efforts to increase the safety
and soundness of the Vietnamese banking system. Major policies relating to bank capital include:

Raising the minimum chartered capital for commercial banks from VND1,000 billion to VND3,000 billion effective 31
December 2011;

Requiring each commercial bank to establish a compulsory financial reserve fund, which accumulates annually at a rate
of 10% of the bank’s net income until reaching 25% of chartered capital; and
Raising the minimum required capital adequacy ratio for commercial banks from 8% to 9% effective 1 October 2010.


Report

Regulatory changes over the last few years have allowed increased participation by foreign strategic and institutional
investors in Vietnam’s banking industry. Foreign shareholders and their affiliates may now own up to 30% of the chartered
capital in a Vietnamese bank in total. A foreign credit institution that qualifies as a "strategic investor” may own up to 15%
of a Vietnamese bank’s chartered capital, which can be further increased to 20% with special approval from the Prime
Minister. In recent years, SBV has granted licenses for several foreign banks to establish wholly foreign-owned Vietnamese
subsidiaries. Pursuant to WTO regulations, these institutions are eligible for the same treatment as local banks starting 1
January 2010.

Commercial banks are required to participate in the deposit insurance program established by the Deposit Insurance of
Vietnam, which insures VND deposits. At present, depositors are insured up to a maximum of VND50 million, and banks
are required to pay an annual premium of 0.15% of the average deposit balance of accounts that are required to be
insured.

OUR PRODUCTS

We offer a variety of loan, deposit and fee-generating products and services tailored to meet the needs of PFS, SME,
Corporate Banking and Financial Institution clients. These products and services are described in further detail below.


Report

PERSONAL FINANCIAL SERVICES

Personal Financial Services (PFS) customers, especially those in the affluent and mass affluent segments, are the core of
our deposit base and an increasing component of our loan portfolio. As of 31 December 2010, the PFS Division accounted
for 35% of our brank's loans to customers and 71% of deposits from customers.

We believe retail banking for affluent and mass affluent customers is an attractive business in Vietnam with high and
sustainable growth potential. Appealing features of retail banking in Vietnam include

Growing incomes, spending and wealth levels of Vietnamese consumers;

Strong orientation of the Vietnamese economy towards domestic consumption, with private consumption representing
56% of GDP;
Vietnam’s low level of banking sector penetration, as evidenced by the low numbers of bank accounts, credit cards and
other basic retail banking products;
More attractive risk / return profile for PFS customers compared to corporate borrowers; and

The high levels and quality of collateral for most retail loan products (e.g., land and buildings for housing loans,
automobiles for vehicle loans).

Major products for PFS customers include

Housing loans;

Vehicle loans;

Gold or valuable paper (e.g., Certificate of Deposit) collateralized loans;

Study loans for tuition at overseas schools;

Secured and unsecured personal loans;

Credit and debit cards;
Liability products, such as current accounts, savings accounts and time deposits;

Other banking services such as "Bill Box" payment, securities discounting, fast fund transfer and remittances; and

Wealth management.

We combine this product offering with a high level of customer service, such as "anytime, anywhere” attention from senior
Priority Banking relationship managers for affluent customers.


Report

SME

SME customers are currently the mainstay of our lending business and a significant component of its deposit base. As of
31 December 2010, loans to limited liability companies, joint stock companies and private enterprises represented a
combined 59% of loans to customers, with the SME division accounting for the vast majority of these loans. On the deposit
side, corporate borrowers (mostly from the SME Division) accounted for 24% of customers deposits. We believe that SME
banking is an attractive business line due to:

Rapid growth of Vietnam’s private sector;
High productivity of Vietnam’s private sector compared to that of large SOEs;

More attractive risk / return profile for SMEs compared to SOEs and other large corporate borrowers; and

High levels of collateral available from SME borrowers.

While it is difficult to prove, we also believe that as a group, SMEs have less of tendency to require rollovers or de facto
restructurings than larger corporates. We segment our SME customers into Micro SMEs (MSMEs) with annual revenue of
less than US$1 million, SMEs with annual revenue of US$1-10 million, and Middle Market Enterprises (MMEs) with annual
revenue of US$10-50 million, and we tailor our products and loan application processes to fit the requirements of each
category. Major products for SME customers include:

Working capital loans;

Short-term call loans/overdraft facilities;

Fixed asset financing loans;

Loans collateralized by agricultural commodities such as rice, pepper, cashews and coffee;
Logistics financing;
Supplier and trade financing;

Factoring;
Import and export loans; and

Liability products, such as current accounts, savings accounts and time deposits.

CORPORATE BANKING

CORPORATE BANKING

Our Corporate Banking Division focuses on enterprises with annual revenue greater than US$50 million, particularly those
in Vietnam’s private sector. We offer these customers

Loan products similar to those offered by the SME Banking Division, with the addition of project financing and
syndicated loans; and
Liability products similar to those offered by the SME Banking Division.

TRANSACTION BANKING

Transaction banking is significant and fast-growing source of fee income for us. This trend is expected to continue as


Report

Vietnam’s international trade grows, its payment system develops and companies’ cash management becomes more
sophisticated. In 2010, we created a specialized Transaction Banking Division to focus on developing, marketing and
aiding the Corporate Banking and SME Divisions with sale of transaction banking products. Key transaction banking
products include

Letters of credit;

Bank guarantees;

Cash manangement and payroll;

Domestic and international payment services (E.g., wire transfer, SWIFT); and

Cash handling and collection.

TREASURY

Our Treasury Division plays an important role in generating interest and non-interest income and accessing the money
markets to provide supplemental funding for our Bank.

Due to our strong deposit base and liquid balance sheet, we have historically taken advantage of tight market liquidity
conditions and depressed markets to earn attractive returns from interbank lending and investment in securities. The
Treasury Department generates interest income and trading profits from:

Interbank lending and borrowing;

Investment in government bonds;
Investment in financial institution bonds/CDs; and

Investment in corporate bonds.

Our Treasury Division also makes selective investments in equity securities to achieve capital appreciation and trading
gains.

Fee-generating products sold by the Treasury Division include:

Foreign exchange;

Commodities hedging products;

Foreign exchange and interest rate swaps and derivatives; and
Debt placements for corporate customers

BUSINESS

RISK MANAGEMENT

RISK GOVERNANCE

We have organized our risk management function to monitor our exposure to credit, market, asset and liability risks and
operational risks on a dynamic basis and to enable us to react to potential threats. As in other areas of our bank, we place
a high priority on ensuring that we have the right organizational structure, policies and procedures, systems and analytical
tools to monitor and manage our risk exposures. We place a high emphasis on risk management and encourage frontline
staff to proactively identify and address risks and implement risk management policies and procedures. As pictured below,
our risk governance structure includes a number of committees, divisions and departments that are responsible for credit
approval and our overall risk management.

The chart below illustrates our Committees, Divisions and Departments that have a primary focus on risk management.


Report

As outlined above, Techcombank’s Board of Directors has two committees that take key decisions and monitor the Bank’s
performance relating to risk management. These committees include the ARCO, which addresses the Bank’s overall risk
management framework, and the Credit Risk & Problem Loans Management Committee, which addresses NPL
management and bad debt recovery.

In addition, the Audit Control & Compliance Department performs the Bank’s internal audit functions and reports to the
Board of Directors and Supervisory Board.

Our Board of Directors has two committees that oversee and monitor our risk management platform. These committees
include the ARCO, which addresses the Bank’s overall risk management framework, and the Credit Risk & Problem Loans
Management Committee, which addresses NPL management and bad debt recovery.

In addition, the Audit Control & Compliance Department performs our internal audit functions and reports to the Board of
Directors and Supervisory Board.

The Board of Management has three committees that monitor risk exposure, formulate policy and approve key decisions
regarding different aspects of our risk management platform. The ALCO addresses the Bank’s asset-liability management,
while the Senior Credit Committee is responsible for approving loans above a certain size. The FICO sets market risk limits
for and approves selected investments by our Treasury Division.

In addition to the committees listed above, we have sub-committees that focus on certain aspects of risk management as
part of their broader mandates. The Product Committee, for instance, considers the risk profiles of any new products
before we start offering them to customers.

Risk Management Division

Our Risk Management Division has the primary responsibility for overseeing, formulating policies for and developing tools
to measure the Bank’s credit, operational, market, and risk exposures. The Division has specialized departments related to:

Corporate and Financial Institution Credit Assessment;

Personal Credit Assessment;
Credit Monitoring for the Northern and Southern regions, including monitoring of existing loans for deterioration and
support for loan restructuring efforts;

Market Risk Management;
Operational Risk Management;

Collateral Assessment and Management; and

Risk Strategy, including risk management policy and modeling development.


Report

Credit Approval Process

Our SME, PFS, Corporate Banking and Treasury Divisions have their own respective credit approval processes. The credit
processes for each division are designed with the aim of combining an appropriate level of rigor in its credit approval
processes with timely and responsive decision-making and customer services. The process for each division is tailored to
the risk profile and service requirements of its customers and product portfolio. All divisions’ approval teams are separate
from the teams that focus on credit origination and marketing, giving us greater independence to apply our credit
standards.

RISK MANAGEMENT

CREDIT APPROVAL AND RISK MANAGEMENT

We have multiple levels of credit approval authority depending on the size of the proposed credit exposure and security
offered. The credit limit, which is proposed in the credit application, will serve as a basis to determine appropriate approval
levels. Each group of personnel has different authority limits, which are based on loan size and collateral type. As a result,
the required level of approval can range from branch-level credit officers for very small loans or loans with low-risk (e.g.,
cash) collateral up to the CEO level for larger loans with less security or unconventional forms of collateral.

Where loan size and simplicity permit, we have sought to improve the efficacy and efficiency of our credit approval process
through use of credit scoring models. The SME Division introduced a scorecard-based credit approval process designed
with the assistance of McKinsey & Company in December 2010 and has used it for all loans up to VND5 billion since
March 2011. The PFS Division currently uses a scorecard developed in-house with assistance from HSBC for the
evaluation of conventional credit applications. In May 2011, we acquired Experian’s application processing and analytics
software, which we plan to deploy to further improve the quality and speed of our PFS loan approval process.

On going Portfolio Monitoring

We have developed a framework to identify, monitor and report potential credit risks from disbursed loans and other
outstanding credit exposures. Responsibility for ongoing monitoring of an individual loan is allocated to the branch or the
appropriate body at the regional or head office depending on a variety of factors, including the size and quality/
classification of the loan. In 2010, we improved our loan portfolio monitoring by implementing an early warning system
("EWS”) that aims to identify performing loans at risk of becoming NPLs.

RISK MANAGEMENT

MARKET RISK MANAGEMENT

We were one of the first banks in Vietnam to establish a separate unit for monitoring and managing risks associated with
market fluctuations. The Risk Management Division contains a Market Risk Management Department that is distinct from
the Treasury Department and conducts 24 hour a day monitoring of our FX, money market, securities and commodity
exposures. This organizational structure provides greater transparency for ALCO, ARCO, the Board of Management and
the Board of Directors in monitoring our exposure to market risks.

In 2003, we became the first bank in Vietnam to successfully deploy a market risk monitoring system, which has been
continually extended and improved. Since then, the system has been upgraded and customized to focus on detecting and
minimizing risks related to the trading of foreign exchange, money market instruments/financial institution obligations,
securities and commodities. In 2009, the Market Risk Management Department implemented the T-Risk software
application from Temenos, which automatically calculates the value of our money market, security and other portfolios and
key market risk metrics.


Report

RISK MANAGEMENT

ASSET AND LIABILITY RISK MANAGEMENT

We are keenly aware of the risks associated with asset and liability mismatches in terms of interest rates, maturity and
currency, especially given the growth in the size and diversity of our funding and lending portfolios over the last several
years. To address risks associated with asset-liability mismatches, we emphasize:

Controlling the size, structure and P&L of assets and liabilities;

Developing contigency plans to ensure adequate access to funding;

Identifying and analyzing risks of specific assets and liabilities and setting optimal ratios and limits for each component
of the balance sheet;

Performing stress tests to measure our exposure to asset-liability mismatches to maintain sound liquidity; and

Checking that all activities conform to our overall risk management framework.

We gather and analyze news and market information to generate forecasts that provide us with an overview of the market
in the short, medium and long term. These efforts help us identify risks to our Bank and take steps to minimize risks and
optimize returns.

RISK MANAGEMENT

OPERATION RISK MANAGEMENT

We place great emphasis on operational risk management, and we have developed a comprehensive framework for
managing operational risks. We consider operational risks to be the responsibility of each employee and cultivate
awareness of operational risks as part of our culture. Management seeks to ensure that line managers implement risk and
limit policies and conduct operational risk reviews on processes and products. Additionally, our Risk Management Division
and Operational Risk Management Department build key risk indicators ("KRIs”) to support line managers in the early
identification of operational risks and collection of data on loss events. Our segregation of front and back-office functions
also provides a system of internal controls designed to improve transparency and mitigate operational risks.

Our Audit Control & Compliance Department, which reports to the Supervisory Board and the Board of Directors, also
minimizes our level of operational risks. This department conducts regular reviews of each department and branch’s
compliance with Vietnamese banking regulations and our internal policies and procedures. Our Legal & Compliance

ASSETS

LOAN CLASSIFICATIONS AND PROVISIONS


Report

We classify loans based on the framework set forth by SBV in Decision No. 493/2005/QD-NHNN and 18/2007/QD-NHNN.
These regulations classify bank loans and require general and specific provisions against loan losses as shown in the table
below. The specific allowance rates illustrated below are applied against principal outstanding less the allowed value of loan
collateral. These categories are set forth in the table below.

As at 31 December 2010, non-performing loans (i.e., those in categories 3-5) represented 2.31% of total loans according
to our VAS accounts.

As at 31 December 2010, cumulative loan loss provisions equated to 50.5% of NPLs based on our VAS accounts.

Comply with provisioning requirements set forth under SBV regulations and Vietnam accounting standards; and


Report

Obtain significant collateral for most loans to customers, loans to certain interbank borrowers and certain bonds
purchased by ourTreasury.

We enjoy a high degree of collateral coverage, with total collateral value of VND141,173 billion at 31 December 2010
versus total net loans of VND52,928 billion and total interest-earning assets of VND130,804 billion. This level of collateral
cover provides us with a significant additional buffer against loan loss.

ASSETS

COLLATERAL EVALUATION

We conduct our own appraisal of the assets offered as collateral for secured loans. We apply different appraisal methods
for different types of collateral:

For real estate, our staff performs on-site inspections and collect data on recent sale prices for similar assets in the
area.

For movable collaterals such as goods (e.g., inventories, commodities) and machinery, we take the actual market price
of the asset or similar assets minus depreciation and costs, such as storage, transportation and customs expenses and
potential liquidation costs.
For new and used automobiles, we refer to a set of predetermined values issued by the General Department of Customs
of Vietnam.
For securities, we refers to trading prices, current market conditions and future forecasts and an internally generated
rating for the security based on our volatility and liquidity.

For each of these forms of collateral, we typically apply a discount to these benchmarks to arrive at an appraised value,
providing an additional buffer against illiquidity of the asset or changing market conditions.

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

We view our information technology ("IT”) infrastructure as a core competency and a competitive advantage. Techcombank
has proactively developed a comprehensive IT infrastructure to support its suite of banking products and activities. We aim
to continue to develop our IT infrastructure to international standards and maintain our competitive advantage through
improved efficiencies and enhanced service to our customers as we continue to expand our network.

In 2002, we became the first bank in Vietnam to implement a core banking system, thereby consolidating information on
the activities of all the Bank’s locations under a unified system. We selected T24 from Temenos Holdings, a core banking
solution used by many of the world’s leading financial institutions, and today runs Release 10 of the software.

We believe that our progressive approach to adopting new technology and information systems allows us to be
substantially ahead of the competition. Other areas where we have shown leadership in adopting technology include being

The first joint stock bank to join the Smartlink-Banknetvn ATM network;

One of the first Vietnamese banks to offer fully-service internet banking for retail customers;
Being the first Vietnamese bank to offer fully-service internet banking for corporate/SME customers;

The first Vietnamese bank to offer payment services via mobile phone text message;

The Vietnamese bank to select and implement a Business Process Management ("BPM”) platform for its retail and SME
credit application processes; and

The first Vietnamese bank to adopt an automated front- and middle-office treasury solution.

Other major IT investments by Techcombank in recent years include implementation of Oracle’s Data Warehouse Model in

consumer finance and savings products that have helped us win the recognition as an innovative and technology-oriented

dealerships to identify qualified customers and offer them home and car loans, respectively. To promote consumer finance,
we have signed cooperation agreements with many manufacturers, retail stores, and supermarkets to gain access to
potential clients.
