story

On March 28, 1991—whether by fate or not—a bank branch named the BIDV Transaction Office (now BIDV – Transaction Office Branch 1) was established in the heart of the capital, Hanoi. Over time, its reputation grew increasingly prominent, becoming the first unit in Vietnam’s commercial banking system and the only BIDV unit to be awarded the prestigious title of “Labor Hero of the Reform Era” by the State.

In March 1991, Exchange I was established—and it’s already been 35 years. The years have passed, filled with countless memories; looking back now, it feels just like the very beginning…

Thirty-five springs have passed since the establishment of Exchange 1 BIDV. I have since retired, but one thing I am certain of is this: everyone who leaves this place feels a sense of longing, wishing they could have worked here a little longer… No matter where they go, everyone still thinks of this place as the “home” of their lives.

I am one of the first-generation staff members of Exchange I. Here, I worked for 12 years and held various positions. Each role represented personal growth, a sense of belonging, deep affection, and many other noble qualities—not just for me, but for the many generations of staff who have been dedicated to Exchange I.

The poem and song were composed by author Tran Xuan Hoang after a trip to pay tribute to the heroic martyrs in Vi Xuyen, Ha Giang, in February 2026.

Over the past year, the "cultural ambassadors" have continuously contributed, bringing cultural values into vibrant and meaningful activities, permeating each unit.

The collective of female staff BIDV Phu My today has been continuing the journey "WOWbank" about women in the Vietnamese banking industry in the new era.

In the excited and proud atmosphere spreading throughout the country on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of the South and National Reunification Day (April 30, 1975 - April 30, 2025); welcoming the 15th Congress of the Party Committee of the Vietnam Joint Stock Commercial Bank for Investment and Development, term 2025-2030, towards the 14th National Congress of the Party; and commemorating the 68th anniversary of the founding of BIDV (April 26, 1957 - April 26, 2025), the Party Committee of BIDV officially launched the publication "History of the Party Committee of the Vietnam Joint Stock Commercial Bank for Investment and Development (1957-2025)".
