Saigon Bank for Industry and Trade (Saigonbank) has selected SunGard’s Ambit online banking, part of the Ambit Enterprise Banking Suite of solutions (Ambit EBS), to support the provision of high quality, modern technology to its commercial and retail banking clients.
Saigonbank has recently successfully deployed SunGard’s Ambit Core Banking solution as the backbone to support its entire banking business. The addition of Ambit Online Banking will further support the bank’s plans for domestic and international growth by helping it to offer clients a range of new online retail banking services such as account inquiry, funds transfers, bill payment, checkbook request and stop payment orders.
Tran Thi Viet Anh, Director General of Saigonbank, commented: “As a result of the implementation of SunGard’s Ambit Core Banking solution, Saigonbank experienced both performance and efficiency improvements.”
David Hamilton, President of SunGard’s banks business, commented: “Given the growth in the Vietnam economy, Saigonbank has a substantial market opportunity that is complicated by new foreign banking service providers now entering the country.
