Techcombank Launches Comprehensive Financial Ecosystem for Vietnamese Study Abroad Aspirants
Techcombank has launched a comprehensive financial service package aimed at supporting Vietnamese students studying abroad and their families. The offering covers everything from pre-departure preparations to living expenses and tuition payments abroad, including foreign currency exchange, international transfers, loans, and credit card solutions.
Techcombank has launched a comprehensive financial ecosystem designed to support Vietnamese students and their families throughout their study abroad journey. This initiative covers a wide range of financial solutions, from preparing application documents and foreign currency to international money transfers, payments, and exclusive credit and investment privileges. Before students depart for overseas studies, families typically face numerous procedures related to visas, accommodation, tuition fees, and living expenses. Preparing foreign currency and necessary documentation is a crucial step in this process. To facilitate this, Techcombank offers a solution for purchasing foreign currency cash with a limit of up to 10,000 USD per transaction, along with a certificate for carrying foreign currency abroad as per current regulations. The bank also allows customers to schedule appointments for foreign currency collection via the Techcombank Mobile app. This enables parents to proactively choose a time to visit a branch, collect funds, and complete paperwork, thereby reducing waiting times before departure. For international money transfers for study abroad purposes, customers can conduct transactions and upload documents online through the Techcombank Mobile app. Eligible transactions can be processed within two working hours, with real-time status updates available on the application. According to a bank representative, study abroad durations often span several years, incurring ongoing tuition fees, rent, and living costs. Therefore, the ability to transfer money quickly, track transactions, and control expenses empowers parents to manage their children's finances abroad more effectively. Within the "Chắp cánh tương lai" (Wings to the Future) program, Private segment customers are exempt from international transfer and cable fees, subject to applicable conditions. Techcombank also offers preferential exchange rates of up to 190 basis points at various times, helping to reduce costs for tuition payments, deposits, and living expenses abroad. Beyond foreign currency and international transfers, Techcombank has developed solutions for study abroad savings accumulation, study loans, international payments, and long-term investment and savings, supporting families in preparing financial resources throughout their children's overseas education. During the application preparation phase, Techcombank's savings deposit solutions help accumulate funds and demonstrate the family's financial capacity. Priority and Private customers receive additional interest rates of up to 0.15% and 0.25% per year, respectively. Additionally, the "Private & Priority Member Week" event offers interest rate incentives of up to 1% per year for new deposits. Investors can also benefit from an annual yield of up to 8% by purchasing Bao Loc Certificates of Deposit. When additional funds are needed, customers can access mortgage loans covering up to 80% of tuition and living expenses. Techcombank also provides unsecured loans based on credit limits and program conditions. For overseas spending, the Techcombank Priority Visa Signature credit card offers a limit of up to 300 million VND, a foreign exchange conversion fee of 1.1%, and a 2% cashback on direct overseas transactions (up to 2 million U-Points, subject to conditions). Furthermore, Techcombank collaborates with several study abroad consulting firms to assist customers in exploring academic pathways. For families with longer-term financial plans, the bank offers investment advisory services and real estate ownership solutions tailored to specific goals. Through the "Chắp cánh tương lai" program, Techcombank aims to provide families with a solid financial foundation, enabling their children to study with confidence, grow, and be ready for future opportunities. "For Techcombank, developing the next generation has always been a key focus in our journey of accompanying customers. Investing in education and the development of the younger generation is one of the most meaningful investments," emphasized a bank representative.
