As it walks hand in hand with customers to achieve the dual goal of fighting the pandemic and also keeping the economy ticking, HDBank continues to offer preferential programs to support individuals and micro enterprises with interest rates starting at a mere 3 percent per annum. It also waives various fees to support customers.

Net service income in the first quarter nearly doubled from a year earlier, the third consecutive quarter in which it attained an impressive growth rate, indicating the huge room for development in the services segment.
