Currently, in Do Luong district, there are 3 ATM withdrawal points, one at the Bank for Investment and Development (BIDV); one at the Bank for Agricultural and Rural Development and one at Prex Vinh Company in Lac Son Small Industrial Park.

However, nowadays, people have to wait to withdraw money at ATMs regularly. The reason is that there are many people withdrawing money, while there are few ATMs, so it takes a lot of time. Sometimes people have to wait up to 3 hours to withdraw money, even during the day and night.

The queue to withdraw money at ATMs has lasted for many years, but banks have not invested in new withdrawal points.

In Do Luong, tens of thousands of people have used ATM cards to withdraw money, especially in the area where Prex Vinh Company is located in Lac Son Small Industrial Park. Paying money through accounts, but lacking ATM points, card swiping points and people still have the habit of paying in cash, so the "ATM wallets" become overloaded.

Therefore, banks need to invest in installing more automatic teller machines to serve people's needs.
