HCM CITY (Biz Hub) — Home Credit, Viet Nam's leading personal financial company, received on July 9 a Certificate of Merit from Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung for its business achievements and contributions to society.

Since coming to Viet Nam six years ago the company has contributed much to local development. It has tied up with nearly 5,000 retailers and electronic stores to serve customers in all 63 provinces and cities, partly helping stimulate consumption in the economy.

From having five employees in the early days, the company has grown to now hire 7,000 people.

It has organised many charity programmes to support poor people and pre-school children of workers at industrial zones.

Also on July 9 the company introduced three new concepts to better serve customers.

One of them, the cool-off period, allows customers to pull out of a contract without penalty within 14 days.— VNS
