At AWS, we’re obsessed with helping our customers harness the benefits of cloud and AI. While maintaining robust security, resilience and scalability. We believe the true value of he cloud is unlocked when seen as an end-to-end transformation opportunity. A chance for organisations across Asia Pacific and Japan, such as Techcombank (TCB), to seize the innovations Gen AI and Agentic AI can offer today.

According to a new AWS-Strand Partners 2025 report, AI adoption among businesses in Vietnam is growing rapidly at an annual rate of 39%. Close to 170,000 businesses in Vietnam have already adopted AI. And 77% of those businesses expect AI to increase their revenue within the next year.

Delivering Business Benefits

TCB’s journey with AWS exemplifies the transformative power of cloud and AI adoption. Spanning strategic planning and co-innovation, with a shared commitment to transformation:

  • Within six months, AWS helped TCB migrate retail and corporate banking systems to the cloud. This enabled on-demand scalability, reduced infrastructure costs, improved time to market and enhanced availability for TCB, cutting downtime.
  • By rapidly scaling infrastructure, reliably and securely, TCB has seen digital transactions grow by 38%.
  • Today, 55% of new customers now join via digital channels and 97% of transactions are processed digitally.

The AWS Data Migration Service is expected to generate projected cost savings of up to $10.4 million over five years. Driven by improved infrastructure efficiency and simplified operations.

Harnessing Gen AI & Agentic AI

Gen AI is delivering workplace transformations, including enabling contact centre agents to resolve customer concerns. TCB has established itself as a pioneer, becoming Vietnam’s first bank to develop proprietary applications using Amazon Bedrock. Initiatives include customer chatbots for employee use, advanced language translation tools, and SMARTIE – an AI personal assistant built on a custom Large Language Model (LLM).

AWS: A Trusted Partner for Cloud at Scale

AWS distinguishes itself as a transformation partner through its unique combination of global expertise, strong local partnerships, and proven implementation frameworks. This comprehensive approach enables organisations to achieve meaningful business transformation while staying at the cutting edge of technological innovation.

“By enabling financial institutions like Techcombank to innovate at scale, we’re helping create the foundation for Vietnam’s next phase of AI-driven economic growth.”
