Information technology infrastructure facilities and equipment used for the internet banking service provision would be required to be copyrighted and of clear origin, according to a draft circular recently released by the State Bank of Vietnam (SBV).
When they are no longer assisted by the manufacturers, or become outdated for installation of latest-version software, banks would have to make plans to upgrade or replace them as notified by the manufacturers.

For institutional clients, the limit for class-B, C or D transactions would be under VND 500 million, under VND 1.5 billion or over VND 1.5 billion, respectively.
For class-D transactions, banks would be required to take at least one of the following authentication measures: digital signature; biometric authentication signs of clients, including facial features, retina, voice and blood veins; and other authentication measures of equivalent or higher standards and security level which are approved by SBV.- (VLLF)
