Vietnam Prosperity Commercial Joint Stock Bank (VPBank) and AXYS Group that specialises in providing online and business processing outsourcing services have launched a programme to help firms develop their online business.

The lender and AXYS’s member companies like Mat Bao, CHILI, MIFI, ODS, and Navee will help them build a comprehensive online business platform.

Participating businesses can choose from between VPBank’s basic support packages on its Simplify portal or the advanced package from the CHILI professional e-commerce website that is integrated with the EcomPay payment gateway.

They will get preferential treatment in domain name registration from Mat Bao.

They can also improve their sales and customer care systems through the use of ODS's CloudFone switchboard, MIFI's e-invoice solution and NAVEE’s advisory on online marketing solutions.

They will get priority access to credit from VPBank for future expansion.

The programme is expected to enable firms to save up to 70 per cent in costs for going online and on human resources, according to AXYS.

Le Thi Diem Phuong, head of card and payment solution – SME division at VPBank, said “We realised that AXYS Group has a sustainable online business eco-system, and decided to … develop this project together.”
