Viet Nam Prosperity Joint Stock Commercial Bank (VPBank) on Tuesday announced an increase in interest rates on its customers’ savings accounts.

This move was attributed to Viet Nam winning over Qatar in the semi-finals of the finals of the Asian Football Confederation U23 Championship on the same day .

Accordingly, all customers whose names are Quang Hai and Tien Dung will get an additional 0.23 per cent on interest rates in their savings accounts at the bank today. All the remaining customers will get an additional 0.1 per cent. Goalkeeper Bui Tien Dung made history as his penalty save helped Viet Nam continue to the final of the championship. Vietnamese striker Nguyen Quang Hai, who scored four out of seven goals for his team, had two scores in the two-hour duration of the match.

The decision to raise the interest rates was made right after the thrilling win of U23 Viet Nam, thanks to the huge contribution of goalkeeper Tien Dung and midfielder Quang Hai. — VNS
