"We are very pleased to renew the partnership agreement that enhances our relationship with MoneyGram. Through the successful 15-year partnership with MoneyGram, we have been providing customers with global quality services, commensurate with the position of Vietcombank and MoneyGram,” said Madam Nguyen Thi Kim Oanh, Deputy General Director of Vietcombank.

Back in 2005, Vietcombank is the first Vietnamese bank signed 3-year contract with MoneyGram. As the first bank providing MoneyGram’s service and Vietcombank’s reputation among Vietnamese living aboard, our partnership assist billions of people sending money to Vietnam via more than 350.000 agents of MoneyGram in 200 countries and territories worldwide. Customers in Vietnam – the receivers – can pick up money easily at any Vietcombank offices nationally.

On the other side, our partnership enables customers to send money from Vietnam around the world to support diverse purposes such as education, health, and other aspects for life’s daily needs easily and safely. Foreigners living and working in Vietnam can send money back to their home without any difficulty.

"We are extremely happy to extend the partnership with Vietcombank. This new contract has a term of up to 5 years instead of 3 years as the previous times, which is a testament to the strength of a shared commitment MoneyGram and Vietcombank have to each other, and most importantly, to our customers. We are excited to continue our partnership and explore new avenues of growth together,” said Anil Kapur, Head of Asia Pacific for MoneyGram.
