BIDV launches a comprehensive digital ecosystem to boost enterprise growth

BIDV organized the Leadership Summit 2026 under the theme 'Developing the digital economy — a growth driver amid global trade volatility' and launched a comprehensive digital ecosystem for enterprises. This milestone underscores BIDV’s leadership in providing digital financial infrastructure to help Vietnamese enterprises enhance competitiveness and sustain stronger growth. The conference was attended by Pham Tien Dung, Deputy Governor of the State Bank of Vietnam; leaders from SBV, the Ministry of Industry and Trade, and domestic and international economists, together with more than 150 senior executives from associations, multinational corporations, enterprises, fintechs, and international e-commerce platforms. The event discussed what enterprises should do in the face of global uncertainty, including energy price shocks and supply-chain disruptions that raise logistics costs and inflation; geopolitics is reshaping the global trade order, making it essential for businesses to improve operating efficiency, cash flow management, and supply-chain security in real time. Mr. Nguyen Anh Son, Director of the Import-Export Department at the Ministry of Industry and Trade, remarked: 'Geopolitics is now an endogenous variable deeply shaping the economic structure. Vietnamese enterprises must move beyond viewing these as temporary crises and actively restructure development strategies to enhance resilience and seize long‑term opportunities through digital transformation.' The discussions also covered how digitization and data can become not only tools but a new management paradigm to help firms adapt; importantly, a digital financial ecosystem with banks at the center, connecting all parts of the economy, can provide a closed digital infrastructure and financial backing to access global markets with optimized costs. The 'BIDV digital ecosystem' was described as the operating system for the economy’s growth engine. To support enterprises in the new environment, BIDV unveiled a comprehensive digital ecosystem with three strategic pillars: platformization, open ecosystem, and data personalization. Through this, BIDV aims to address three core challenges facing enterprises today: speed, data, and real-time cash flow control. The ecosystem includes breakthrough platforms: BIDV eKYC (gateway to the enterprise’s digital space); BIDV Direct (the enterprise’s financial operations hub); BIDV SCF (a platform connecting enterprises with suppliers and distributors to optimize cash flow); BIDV TradeFlat (digitalized international trade platform connecting banks, customs, logistics, and insurance to cover the end-to-end journey); and BIDV Open API (embedded finance, bringing banking into enterprise financial management). The event featured remarks by BIDV’s CEO, Le Ngoc Lam, who stated: 'BIDV’s goal is not merely to be a good digital bank but to become the best digital financial platform to enhance the global competitiveness of Vietnamese enterprises. If enterprises are the growth engine, BIDV’s digital ecosystem is the operating system of that engine.' BIDV pledged continued investment in core technologies and expansion of the Fintech/Bigtech ecosystem to support enterprises in building a sustainable future in the digital era. Speakers at the summit emphasized that BIDV’s digital ecosystem is a cornerstone of the government and central bank’s digital economy strategy.
