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

In Do Luong, there are tens of thousands of people using 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 there is a lack of 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.
