65 years, with a glorious and proud journey and also many hardships and challenges... but no matter the circumstances, BIDV Nghe An has always been united, overcoming difficulties to complete the mission. Especially, during the period when the whole country carried out the strategic task of building socialism in the North and fighting to liberate the South, Nghe An Construction Branch steadfastly stood side by side with the frontline to build logistics works against destructive wars, at the same time providing timely support and assistance to build roads, warehouses, factories, schools, hospitals...
One of the important milestones of the unit was on January 1, 1995, together with the entire system of Nghe An Investment and Development Bank Branches, officially converted to a commercial business model. From the mechanism of capital subsidy, planned allocation to proactively seeking capital sources and customers for commercial business, diversifying products and services, and multi-purpose business activities encountered many difficulties.
Facing a great responsibility, overcoming many difficulties and challenges in the new mechanism, BIDV Nghe An has determined to step forward firmly, use resources effectively and have achieved remarkable results. If 1990 is considered the first milestone in the work of mobilizing idle capital from the economy, then by the end of 1995, the Branch had only mobilized 75 billion VND, but by the end of 2000, there was a remarkable growth of 690 billion VND, 9 times larger than in 1995, in addition to having enough capital for loans, there were also deposits at the Central Bank.
In the period 2001 - 2005, BIDV's operations have taken on many aspects of a modern bank. Together with the entire system, BIDV Nghe An has successfully implemented a modernization project, creating a basis for innovation in business management methods suitable for the modern banking model, being one of the first units in the area to successfully apply the quality management system according to ISO 9001:2000 standards (now ISO 9001:2008). In 2005, the branch lent the first project under the co-financing method, which was the Vinh Bypass Project, the investor was CIENCO 4. This is considered a step forward to affirm the role of a bridge, effective and efficient advice for BIDV Vietnam and the local government of BIDV Nghe An.
Regarding products and services: Since 2000, in addition to payment fees, BIDV Nghe An has started to collect guarantee fees. With the diversified development of services, service fees have gradually become an important component of revenue sources, in which the branch's strength is collecting guarantee services. When the bidding regulations were issued, BIDV Nghe An became a trusted address for investors in issuing guarantees, ensuring contractors to perform contracts.
10 years ago, BIDV officially transformed into Vietnam Joint Stock Commercial Bank for Investment and Development - an important milestone in the development journey. Over the past decade, along with the system, promoting the tradition of pioneering and creativity, BIDV Nghe An has made breakthrough changes with fundamental and substantial changes in mechanism, ownership, and full operation according to market principles, building a more mature and stronger BIDV Nghe An. Standing on the land of Nghe An, rich in revolutionary tradition but with many difficulties, Nghe An branch staff did not hesitate to overcome difficulties and hardships to complete the task. Besides the attention and close direction of the Board of Directors, there is the constant effort to learn of employees, and the boldness to change for development. On the foundation that has been built, the collective of employees expects a BIDV that is stronger in breadth and depth; expects to build Nghe An province to become the economic, political and cultural center of the North Central region. Expectations for the future are the driving force to urge branches to accelerate and affirm their brands.
