Model risk management system
In order to meet the requirements of compliance with international practices as well as internal needs in the context of increasing number of models and diversifying purposes of use, Vietcombank has researched and developed its own Model Risk Management System.
This system has marked an important turning point in model risk management, with many outstanding features compared to existing systems on the market. Since then, model risk management at Vietcombank has undergone a remarkable change towards a more modern, focused and effective direction.
The system not only supports better decision-making in risk management and business operations, but also contributes to improving the bank's overall operational capacity in the digital transformation period.
Ms. Nguyen Thi Hong Van - Director of Legal and Compliance Division of Vietcombank received the award "Risk Management Initiative of the Year" for the Wholesale Banking segment.
VCB Tablet - Customer authentication solution
Vietcombank is one of the pioneer banks to successfully deploy a customer authentication solution at the counter through connection and comparison with the National Population Database.
The solution is designed to thoroughly address one of the major risks in the banking industry: the risk of falsely verifying customer identity, leading to acts of opening accounts with fake documents, impersonating others to borrow money, using accounts to launder money or defraud consumers.
The highlight of VCB Tablet is the ability to quickly and accurately identify through population data matching, helping to shorten transaction time and bring a convenient and modern experience to customers. The solution uses advanced technology platforms, operated according to international information security standards ISO/IEC 27001, ensuring the highest level of protection of biometric data and personal information.
