hitting and exceeding most of its key financial and
business targets for 2014.
I wish to attribute this impressive performance to
our shareholders who have been committed to
our vision over all those years. Your unrelenting
support has helped Techcombank to secure strong
and reliable financial resources to pursue its goals.
I would also like to take this opportunity to
convey our gratitude to our business partners,
customers, as well as employees for your trust and
support in building a strong governance structure
and an enabling corporate culture. I believe
that
Techcombank will continue to have your
commitment, support, and cooperation in our
strategic development journey.
As we look back at 2014, we can take great pride
in what we have achieved, in terms of both scale
and quality.
With a clearer vision of where we want to go and
what we want to achieve, our product development
activities and business programs have now become
more focused by better understanding and meeting

edge in the market. Our banking services are also
broader, thanks to our advanced technological

In addition to these achievements, Techcombank


has been consolidating its business fundamentals,
applying international practices and standards
in all aspects of risk management, technologies,
operations and human resource development.
Especially, our debt management system
has considerably improved debt quality; the
performance management system and cost
management have also been successfully
implemented, greatly contributing to our banks
bottom line. Besides, we continued our investment
in people development by carrying out the Job
Categorization Project where the career path for
each position and capability training programs
were clearly established. This helps set clearer
directions for capacity development of every
employees, ensuring optimal HR preparation to
support the Banks growth in the years ahead.
Another highlight last year was the importance
attached to promoting corporate culture activities
which helped foster employees engagement
and encourage them to embrace and behave
in accordance with the Banks core values that
underpin sustainable growth.
With our tireless efforts in doing the right things in
2014, we achieved encouraging results with profit
before tax at VND 1,417 billion, ROA and ROE
at 0.63% and 7.40% respectively, which were a
significant increase over the previous year.
The Way Forward
In 2015, Techcombank will continue to pursue its
business development strategy with particular

emphasis on two aspects: superior product


development capability and best service quality
supported by advanced technology, helping
improve business performance, acquire and retain
more customers.
Moreover, we will continue to invest in our people,
performance management and corporate culture,
which bring us competitive advantages and enable
Techcombank to become the best bank in Vietnam
and expand its footprint to the regional market.
I firmly believe that with our strong determination,
outstanding capabilities and appropriate business
direction, Techcombank will become even stronger
and more successful in 2015 and beyond.

macro economy with some slight recovery in
economic activities. Banking industry is continuing
unprecedented structural changes, banks and
other credit institutions are struggling to boost
lending, weighted down by a still high ratio of bad
debts, trying to meet more demanding expectations
of customers.

In the last year, a new risk approach has been


introduced, with clear ownership of risk related
issues being assigned to Risk functions and
business lines. New risk approach is built up
based on detailed understanding of customers,
and reflecting respective level of risk into riskbased pricing model. The Bank credit turn-around
time is also significantly improved thanks to
clearer demarcation of roles and responsibility,
thus pushing forwards operational excellence and
positioning Techcombank amongst the best banks
with customer satisfaction ratio. Notably, collection
processes have been restructured and improved,
contributing greatly to the Bank bottom line.

In that challenging environment, Techcombank has


managed to achieve and improve some important
financial indicators. Particularly, the Bank Profit
Before Tax attained VND 1,417 billion, exceeding
by 20% of initial budgeted plan. This achievement
is thanks to various efforts, from steady revenue
growth and strict expense management, rigorous
risk management, and implementation of some
strategic initiatives.
The Banks Total Operating Income has grown from
VND 5,648 billion in 2013 to VND 7,106 billion in
2014, claiming a growth of 26%, based on assets
growth for 11%, as well as improvement of Net
Interest Margin from 3.20% to 3.61% and finally
supported by fee income contribution to the Total
Operating Income from 13% in 2013 to 15.8% in
2014. The growth is the result of continuous effort
to meet customer demands and requirements
through updated approach for banking product
development and substantial changes of overall
banks competitiveness. The Bank also enhanced
strong expense management and bank wide
productivity increasing thus harnessed significant
improvements in Cost to Income ratio from 59.4%
to 48.3%. Especially, sales productivity indicators
have been introduced since the beginning of the
year and keenly monitored throughout the year,
showing significant leap of sales productivity by the
measures of a new disbursements and outstanding

and goals in order to provide better alignment of
all activities with the Banks strategy, focus on
effectiveness and efficiency for each staff. The Bank

expected behavior among all employees, through
creative initiatives like Lead to Win, We Reds and
some others.
Moving forwards 2015, the Bank will focus on
improvements on execution capability and people

success of 2014, with ongoing improvement of all
operational and financial indicators. I am confident
that the Banks team will continue to work hard to

Year 2014 was a period of high growth in auto


loans. About 3,131 loans with total value of VND
1,187 billion were provided, marking a growth of
245% compared to last year.
This significant achievement could be attributed to
the continuous partnership development. During
the year, deepened cooperation with some key
partners such as HTC, THACO and Mitsubishi
generated special joint programs for customers
and increased the attractiveness of Techcombank
product range as a result.
Product line development still remains one of the
Banks top priorities. Apart from developing and
launching new offers in 2014, Techcombank paid
serious attention to improve existing programs
in order to deliver consistently positive benefits

Wholesale Banking
Focus on tailoring finiancial solutions to meet each customers specific demand

With the ambition to be the best and complete


financial solution provider in the market,
Techcombank has been on track in its roadmap
of strengthening Wholesale Banking business
(WB) in line with the Banks Development Strategy
until 2020. In 2015, we aims to develop a stronger
organizational structure of the function, leverage
existing customer relationships, expand core
customer base, develop a suitable system for
managing customers by segments, and tailor
credit policies to different customer segments for
optimal return and efficiency. The results in 2014
have proved that the management teams decision
to create a robust WB on par with other players
in Asia is a sound strategic move, which will help
Techcombank become the Best Bank in Vietnam.

The Way Forward

In the following years, WB will focus on the


following customer segments:
u Large corporate (LC)
u Middle market (MM)
u Multinational companies/ foreign direct
investments (MNC/FDI)
u Financial institutions/ non-bank financial
institutions (FI and NBFI)
The customer segments are further divided by

geographical regions and clusters for better


account planning and account management
purposes. Clearly defined customer segments and
geographical regions will help align WB and the
Banks development strategies.

Key Achievements

Going forward, WB will continue to:

During the year, Techcombank finalised the WB


model under which relationship managers (RM)
would take greater care of corporate customers in
close cooperation. The RMs advised, proposed,
designed and implemented solutions and tailored
products to each corporate customer as part of the
Banks comprehensive solution.

u Tailor products and services to each customer


segment; establish dedicated functions in the
Divisions organisational structure to serve
various customer segments, allowing optimal
customer value propositions
u Develop Transaction Banking solutions such
as Cash Management, Supply Chain Finance,
International Payment/Finance on modern
platforms
u Effectively incorporate the solutions of Treasury
& Financial Markets Division and Investment
Banking to develop effective financial solutions
for customers
u Cross-sell with other business divisions

In spite of considerable economic difficulties and


yet fragile recovery of the financial market in 2014,
Techcombank remained persistent with its WB
directions and achieved important successes.

One of our focuses had been the investment in and


finalisation of modern platforms for Transaction
Banking, including (1) Online Commercial
Banking, (2) Supply Chain Financing, and (3) Cash
Management, which would enable the delivery of
such products and services as cash collection,
trade finance and supply chain finance. As a
result, the bank could offer structured products
with high added value and modern business tools
to customers. It is expected that the projects will
further improve the Banks bottom line in 2015.
During the year, WB products have been packaged
effectively with Investment Bankings and Markets
solutions in order to provide more financial choices
to customers. We successfully issued corporate
bonds for some large enterprises and provided
financial products which help them mitigate the
risks related to pricing, exchange rates, and
interest rates.
Techcombank carried out many activities in order
to strengthen customers relationship such as:

u Participation in Exchange of Information and


Support for Korean Companies Looking for
Business and Investment Opportunities in
Vietnam program following the signing of a
memorandum with the Foreign Investment
Agency of Ministry of Planning and Investment
u Comprehensive partnerships with some leading
enterprises in sectors including real estate
development, consumption, airline, auto and
assembly production

Treasury & Financial Markets


Continuously improve the operational processes, business practices and especially business culture
to better meet customers demand

With Innovation as one of our core values, we provide outstanding financial products to customers and
optimize returns from opportunities in the financial markets. Last year, we made great strides in increasing
our range and scale of operations to be comparable with those of international banks, diversifying
products to meet customers demands on both conventional and sophisticated products in areas such as
foreign exchange, currencies, bonds, commodities, structured products and derivatives. This contributed
to Techcombanks remarkable success in the domestic and offshore financial markets.

The Way Forward

We have structured the Division into Currency &


Commodities, Rates Trading, Sales & Structuring,
and Credit Sales & Trading with the aim of
becoming the market leader in treasury and
financial markets by:
u Developing and organizing professional and
highly efficient business activities on par with
regional and international standards
u Conducting market research and translating
market intelligence into business opportunities
and improved bottom line
u Developing outstanding and professional
solutions, meeting demands of target
sophisticated customers
u Managing risks effectively with early warning
system and minimizing the unexpected

Key Achievements

Guided by a consistent business direction, we have


embarked on many important plans and initiatives
in 2014, including the Markets Transformation
Project with the main aim of enhancing the
Divisions operations to become the market
leader in Vietnam and stand equal to regional and
international standards. To realize this ambition, we
have engaged two foreign experts with extensive
experience in regional and international financial
markets to undertake specific tasks such as building
capacity for the sales force, raising staff capabilities
in market risk identification and management,
strengthening support functions including finance,
operations, and risk management to assist the
Division in its rapid development. Accordingly,
operational processes, business practices and
especially business culture have been changed
substantially for the better.
Recognizing information technology as a key
driver in creating a breakthrough for the Bank
in general and Treasury & Financial Markets
Division in particular, we continued to make huge

investment in technology in 2014. Apart from


modern computer screens, international standard
electronic information and trading systems such
as Bloomberg, Reuters, Debtwire, we as the first
mover have applied Mysis trading system to
conduct and manage transactions from customer
contact to operation support, helping enhance the
efficiency of transactions, positions management,
risk management, data management and reporting.
The above business revamping and support
initiatives have helped us develop new products to
meet the ever-growing demands of customers. In
2014, Techcombank processed multiple petroleum
hedging transactions for customers as well as
interest rate swaps and cross-currency swaps
for large local counterparties. These derivative
instruments have provided Techcombanks
customers and counterparties with unprecedented
market risk management solutions in Vietnam
financial market. Besides, Techcombank was
the first bank in Vietnam to launch bond-linked
investment products to corporate and individual
customers.
Techcombank is also a market maker in introducing
bond-linked, option-linked and other structured
products for efficient portfolio management.
Last year, we formed sales teams with financial
institutions to expand activities as well as increase
transactions with financial institutions at home and
abroad.
Embracing the core value Customers first
through tailored and suitable products, in 2014,
we won awards and certificates from reputable
domestic and foreign organizations, and continued
to improve Techcombanks position in the Vietnam
financial market. Regarding foreign exchange
market share, Techcombank ranked the third after
two state-owned giants. In government bond
trading, Techcombank is the second best bank in
secondary market as assessed by the Ministry of
Finance a major step forward compared to our
10th ranking back in 2013.

The Year Ahead

In 2015, Techcombank will focus on promoting


treasury and markets trading activities with
customers to raise fee income/total revenue ratio,
increasing market share and the ranking of its
trading activities. It will also be developing new
markets and products in order to provide customers
and counterparties with optimal choices. Treasury
& Financial Markets Division will continue to work
closely with other business divisions of the Bank
to expand to new markets and develop more new
products, making Techcombank the provider of
outstanding and packaged financial solutions to
both corporate and individual customers.
In parallel with revamping trading activities, the
Markets Transformation Project continues to further
improve processes and reports and enhance
employees performance and capabilities. The
seven-year strategy including human resources
and compensation policy will be finalized and
aligned with the Banks strategy. In 2015, we
begin the implementation phase of Mysis with user
training and integration to the Banks system. With
this successful implementation, Techcombank
will be one of a few banks in Vietnam equipped
with professional trading system of international
standards.
Encouraged by what has been achieved,
Techcombanks Treasury and Financial Markets
Division is proud to contribute to the overall
strength of the Bank to fulfil the mission of providing
customers with superior financial products and
realize our vision of becoming the Best Bank and
the Leading Enterprise in Vietnam.

proud to develop and distribute investment products and investment banking services to meet the
ever increasing demand of customers.

a significant step forward in investments and
investment banking products that Techcombank
offered to large corporate and priority banking
customers through its two subsidiaries: Techcom
Securities and Techcom Capital.

The Way Forward

Investment banking is quite common in developed


countries worldwide but is fairly new in Vietnam.
Recognising the increasing demand for such
services as underwriting, origination and advisory,
M&A, and financial advisory to large corporations,
which will become standard in the market in
near future, the Bank has established and
strengthened the Investment Banking team of
Techcom Securities to bring professional service
as well as become a trusted advisor to corporate
customers. Our customers include large and
leading enterprises in industries such as real estate
development, consumption, airlines, auto assembly
and production. Moreover, the development of
structured and investment-linked products has
been identified as the key to provide individual
customers with new savings experience besides
the conventional commercial banking products and

services. We have introduced diverse and flexible


products such as bond-linked deposits, optionlinked deposits, and open-ended funds tailored to
the needs of each individual customer.

extensive customer base and counterparties from
Techcombank our Holding Company.

Core competencies

Building on the profound experience and in-depth


knowledge of the capital market in Vietnam,
Investment Banking of Techcom Securities in the
year 2014 was successful in providing origination
and advisory service for many large enterprises
in Vietnam with total bond issuance value of over
VND 20,000 billion. Revenue from underwriting,
origination and advisory services helped bring
Techcom Securities to the forefront of the market
amongst many securities companies in Vietnam,
substantially outweighing its nearest peer with
50% market share. Several typical deals include
advising and supporting the issuance of VND 6,800
billion of local currency-denominated corporate
bonds for a large company in resources sector in
March 2014 and VND 3,000 billion of local currency
corporate bonds for a leading group in real estate
development in September 2014. These were
considered hallmark deals that turned Techcom
Securities into one of the most active bond
originators in the primary and secondary market
in Vietnam. Furthermore, Techcom Securities has
showcased our M&A advisory capability when
acting as the lead advisor for the successful
acquisition of a finance company by Techcombank.

Investment Banking target customer segments


have been clearly identified by the Banks
leadership: corporate customers with annual
revenue of over VND 1,000 billion and individual
customers with financial wealth of over VND 1
billion. This requires a strong and professional
team with in-depth knowledge of customers
needs as well as analytical skill to offer
customers with optimal financial solutions. With
over 40 specialists with significant experience
in investment, finance, accounting, banking,
insurance, tax and law in leading international and
local financial institutions, especially a winning
team of corporate advisors in Vietnamese market,
we are well-positioned in providing professional,
effective and timely services to customers. In
addition, we were also successful in building
product development and analyst teams of
highly-experienced professionals in tax advisory,
corporate finance analysis and investment
management; most of whom are certified with
Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) and Chartered
Certified Accountants (ACCA) qualifications. This
allows us to be the first mover in launching new
products to the market and delivering quality due
diligence reports and comprehensive industry
assessments in Vietnam. Techcom Securities
deals are also strictly legally protected through
our effective collaboration with leading law firms
and our in-house legal team. Last but not least,
we are professional in distributing investment
banking products, leveraging our experience

Achievements

Techcombanks strong priority customer base


and brand-name have also set the stage for
Investment Banking to develop and launch
flexible bond-linked product In Q3, 2014 as
the first structured product in the market. The
product allows individual customers to access the
corporate bond investment channel at acceptable

risk levels. Distribution via Techcombank Priority


Banking channel, on the one hand, not only
allows existing customers to use outstanding
and advanced products in the market, but it also
gives Techcombank the opportunity to acquire
new customers and let customers familiarise
themselves with various investment products in the
market, thereby attracting increasing numbers of
individual customers to the corporate bond market.
2014 was also an important milestone when
Techcom Securities increased its owners equity to
VND 1,200 billion and charter capital to VND 1,000
billion to become one of the ten biggest securities
companies in Vietnam. The increase of chartered
capital and greater contribution of owners equity
reflects the trust that Techcombank places in the
development prospect of Investment Banking
as well as the firm commitment of the Banks
leadership to the improvement and provision of
comprehensive and outstanding financial services
to its valued customers.

Techcom Securities.

Furthermore, the Bank will continue to expand
its distribution network to set the stage for
further development strategies related to this
operation,

projects to improve the capability and mindset
of the organization and individuals and have
achieved notable results in terms of people
development throughout the year.

Develop a working environment which


attracts talent and unlocks potentials

The policies on recruitment and benefits that


Techcombank has developed and refined helped
improve the staffing quality significantly. We
took advantage of many recruitment channels
to acquire high-calibre, experienced officers
and senior bankers. In particular, we developed
and successfully ran a Large-scale Recruitment
Program for Sales and Distribution Division and
Talent Referral for Rewards Programme for the
whole Bank.
In addition, the policy on promotion and benefits
were reviewed and revised to better acquire and

the reality.

These actions helped produce positive results. In


particular, promotions were up by 30%; recruitment
of experienced, skilled talents increased by 31% from
2013; most of our employees have at least a graduate
degree and 5% have Masters or doctorate degrees.

In 2014, Techcombank boosted the training budget


by 79% year-on-year in a continued effort to innovate
and improve training activities, and e-learning
was given high priority. E-learning programmes
and courses employed diverse methods and
content. E-learning clearly demonstrated its many
significant advantages such as optimal training
cost and flexible schedules.

In 2014, we continued our well-run, annual reward


and recognition programs such as High Performer, in
which employees with A1 rating for two consecutive
years earned the Banks special recognition and
worthy rewards in addition to their annual bonus.
In addition, the Bank rolled out a point accumulation
system to recognize employees achievements and
contributions to their teams joint achievements
while ensuring the openness and fairness of the
evaluation process. During the year, 277 teams and
106 individuals received Silver, Gold, and Platinum
prizes at division level, inter-division level, and
bank-wide level with VND 10 billion total budget of
which VND 3 billion was earmarked for operational
initiatives.

ones are Omega, a risk management capacity
building project, and Techcomlead, a leadership

effective content and methods.
Moreover, for the purpose of supporting business
lines, Red Force RM Warrior Training project
was introduced to improve the capability of the
sales force. Future Leader and Next Generation
Officer were two talent development programmes
launched in the year to improve peoples capability
comprehensively and develop successors for the

Implement two key projects for


professional
development
and
performance management
2014 marked the set up and implementation of our
two major projects in the pursuit of strengthening
HR management tools and assessment system,
including Job Categorization (Job Cat) and Key
Result Areas-Based Performance Management
System (PMS).
While the Job Cat was a new project launched in
2014 to standardize competency requirements,
develop a career roadmap for each job category,
and improve training effectiveness on a bankwide basis, the PMS, for its proven advantages, is
hoped to effectively replace the existing system.
The system consists of processes and tools which
are designed to improve employees capability and

behaviour to achieve the organizations objectives.


Under the system, waterfall model is used in the
strategic planning process to align individuals
goals with those of the organization. Furthermore,
performance assessment is conducted on a
continual and comprehensive basis by different
levels of managers.

With commitment of the importance of corporate


culture toward the sustainable development of
the Bank, we organised and promoted a wide
range of meaningful activities to develop a friendly,
balanced, and engaging working environment in
which cooperation and support spirit are promoted.
Such programs include:

enjoy their hobby and achieve work life balance. These


activities also significantly contributed to the business
development, promote collaboration and increased
employees engagement (among 95% of employees
participated in the Employee Engagement Survey, 90%
agreed that the activities served to improve employees
engagement effectively.

Increase employees engagement


and develop a strong, functional
corporate culture to create significant
competitive advantage

u WeLEAD (leaders act as a role model,)

Plan for 2015

In Techcombank, we maintained many superior


health care benefits in order to motivate employees
and increase their engagement. In 2014, the
insurance premium under TechcomCare programme
continued from previous years was up 120%.

u WeACT (enhance cooperation and collaboration


between the Head Office and branches)
u WeGOOD (develop a two-way thanking culture;
promote, spread, and build trust in good deeds)
Besides,
youth

and

union
activities, which many employees actively and
enthusiastically participate in, helped them to

In 2015, people development is the theme of the year. We


will implement many large projects to significantly develop
human resources to ensure that each employee is able to do
his/her best, has a clear career roadmap, and is rewarded
and recognised properly. said Mr. Ho Hung Anh, the Board
Chairman.
To realise the leaderships strategic directions on human
resources development, Techcombank will continue
pursuing the successful journey that commenced in 2014
with the following three core tasks:
u Continue improving HR policies and processes,
especially on recruitment, promotion, training, and
development
u Cooperate in the execution of Corporate Culture
Development project; continue implementing and
finalising two strategic projects, i.e. Job Cat and PMS; to
assess and develop individuals capability
u Develop and strengthen people management skills of
managers to improve the overall management capability
The implementation of these key projects is hoped to
contribute to the current and future sustainable and
strong GROWTH of the Bank by developing HIGHQUALITY human resources.

Corporate Social Responsibility


Techcombanks corporate social responsibility (CSR) programmes not only present the Bank as
a responsible corporate citizen, but also demonstrate the sense of sharing by Techcombanks
employees toward the society.

As a financial service provider, we are well aware


of the importance of the contribution to the
sustainable development of the community. Over
the years, we have implemented various CSR
programmes and considered social responsibility
as one of our priorities in the development strategy.
During the year 2014, Techcombank continued
to contribute more than VND 120 billion to CSR
activities, concentrating on three areas, education,
environment and community health care, aiming at
a brighter future of the young generation, a better
health care to the community, and a healthier
living environment.

Specific programmes

In education, Techcombank continued to donate


VND 1.8 billion to the Red Scarf to School
Programme, awarded nearly 1,300 scholarships
and provided essential school supplies to unlucky
pupils at hundred schools in thirty five provinces/
cities across the country. With the message Every
child has the right to schooling, the programme
has become Techcombanks annual flagship CSR
event since the launch in 2011. After 3 years in
operation, Red Scarf to School has awarded
almost 5,000 scholarships to students in forty four
provinces nationwide, with the total estimated
value of VND 5.5 billion.
With the red scarf as its logo, the Programme
has assisted many unlucky children across the
country in their wish for schooling and has become

the icon of Techcombanks corporate social


responsibility. Red Scarf to School also involved
the participation of all employees of the Bank.
Apart from financial contributions, our caring
Techcomers had also been active in searching
for and nominating unlucky pupils with excellent
academic performance to receive scholarships.
In addition, in the year 2014, we spent VND 3.1
billion to finance the construction of kindergartens
in Hong Su Phi district, Ha Giang province.
Techcombank also spent VND 1.2 billion to finance
the construction of Nghia Lam kindergartens and
La Ha High school facility in Quang Ngai.
In the field of public health care, in 2014,
Techcombank donated VND 10 billion to Da
Nang Cancer Hospital to build its infrastructure
and upgrade its facilities to provide medical
examination and treatment services to people in
the Central Highland, especially to improve the
eligibility for treatment of cancer patients with
limited financial means. In addition, we also made
donations to the Cancer Patient Bright Future
Fund or to Nghe An General Friendship Hospital

Beyond the figures

Techcombanks resounding business performance


in the year 2014 represented the effort of the Banks
leadership and over 7,200 employees. Apart from
the contribution to the corporate development,
we were proud to play an active role in specific
community programmes. These programmes
highlighted the engagement of all employees
across the Bank not only through financial support
but also in their charitable spirit.

On that CSR journey, we were happy to see the


joys and hopes of teachers and students in the
mountainous areas when receiving funding to
build their kindergartens, the confidence and
determination of those young kids upon the
receipt of new and modern class rooms, the deep
emotion of patients and the determination of
doctors upon receiving medical equipment and
machines. It is these touching experiences that
inspire our efforts in contributing toward a better
community because we understand that the Bank
can only grow sustainably when the society we
serve develops sustainably.

During the year 2014, we also supported many


social welfare programmes in provinces such as
Hau Giang, Ha Nam, Nghe An, Vinh Phuc, Quang
Ngai and Quang Ninh, with the total amount of
over VND 78 billion.

Special Features

Information Technology and Operations

Committed to strong and continuous investment in Technology as Techcombanks competitive edge in


the market

Information Technology continues to be a vital


enabler to reach the banks target of becoming
the best provider of financial services in Vietnam.
We strongly believe that continuous investment in
technology is essential in providing retail banking,
business banking, wholesale banking and global
market customers with Techcombanks complete
financial solutions and leading banking services.
As a result, a series of initiatives were undertaken
in 2014 by Operations and Technology Division in
order to offer innovative and competitive products
coupled with speed and simplicity of services that
are supported by advanced analytical and risk
management capabilities.

Strategic Investment for Continuous


Growth and Transformation

In line with our core strategy, more than 40


projects were initiated in 2014 to ensure abroad
spectrum of products and services available to
cover all targeted customer segments: Affluent/
Mass Affluent, SME and transaction banking
customers. Approximately half of these projects
were successfully launched in 2014 and the
remaining would continue in 2015.
For personal financial service business, a series
of innovative solutions such as Smart Phone
Banking based Mobile Wallet, Mobivi Virtual Card,
JCB Card & Mobile POS and Tablet Based Priority
Mobile Sales application were launched.
In order to provide additional convenience to our
valued customers, Smart Phone Banking based
Mobile Wallet was introduced, allowing users to
make payments through a preferred social network
in a very secure and convenient way without the
hassle of carrying cash or a traditional wallet.
Recipients could then cash out the money or use

it for small value purchases through an extensive


merchant network. In the coming year, Smart
Phone Banking will be further integrated with
transfer, deposit, payment and card functionalities,
showing our commitment of continuous innovation
and customer orientation. Furthermore, in the
pursuit of extra convenience for customers,
other card-based solutions were launched. For
example, the co-branded Techcombank Mobivi
card provides a convenience in online shopping at
attractive prices to payroll customers; JCB Cards
was added to the various international cards
currently offered by the bank.
Towards more specialized banking needs of
Wholesale and Business Banking Customers,
solutions for Supply Chain Financing platform was
implemented in 2014. Supply Chain Financing
provides advanced payable and receivable
financing products and also helps enterprises
better manage their working capital and daily
cash flow requirements. Moreover, Supply Chain
Financing is complimented by Mobile POS solution
which provides integrated value propositions
for payments across multiple ecosystems and
customer segments (Retail, SME and Transaction
Banking). This solution will significantly simplify
the payment collection by using Smart Phone as
a POS (Point Of Sale) terminal. Besides, export LC
related Trade Finance processes were automated
to improve productivity and turnaround time by
more than 20%.
Understanding that solid support to the sales
force and back office will provide positive effects
in customers satisfaction, we introduced in 2014
a Tablet-based Priority Mobile Sales application
which enabled Relationship Managers to
proactively follow up with Priority customers on

their needs even when they are on the move . It is


a one-stop solution for accessing and following up
on the latest sales leads, monitor sales progress
and have update of the latest sales campaigns. It
also provides executives an online dashboard to
monitor sales performance in real-time. Besides,
the next generation of Data Ware Housing
was deployed with Enterprise Data Model and
specialised Data Marts, which empowered Retail
Banking and Finance users to actively analyse
customer and financial data, thus significantly
enhancing productivity. Enterprise Data Ware
House is a key building block that enables
us to conform to the upcoming compliance
requirements with BASELII regulation, ensuring
the forward-looking nature of each of the banks
implemented solutions. Additionally, Credit Risk
Management Functionalities were also upgraded
with integrated collection workflow between
Branches, Collections Hubs and centralized
Collection Management Unit.

Highly Available Robust Infrastructure

We had standardised, centralised, and consolidated


storage, databases and Email servers to improve
the quality of IT infrastructure services. In 2014,
the availability of critical infrastructure system
continued to increase and reached up to 99.9%.
We also achieved 80% virtualisation of servers.
The use of virtualisation technology in managing
IT infrastructure resources has reduced the
infrastructure investment, increased productivity,
and decreased the time to build IT infrastructure
for projects from 3-6 months to 3-5 working days.
This has shortened the time required to launch
a product and reduced cost of services to our
customers.

Enhanced Security

Information Security Systems like Network


Intrusion Prevention and Database Security
Systems were enhanced to proactively detect
and prevent any malicious attacks, ensuring the
confidentiality, integrity and availability of customer
data processes though various banking channels.

Partnership for Business Success

In 2014 IT functions were realigned with business


lines to improve the collaboration and partnership
and to ensure that IT becomes an integral part of
the business strategy to maximize the business
value from the use of Information Technology.
ITs orientation was changed from technical
focus toward business consultancy and advisory
services. Superior Operational Productivity

Corporate Banking, Credit Process Automation


on
BPM (Business Process Management)
Platform and Implementation of FX-Vision & Gold
Trading platform. Core Banking System will also
be upgraded to support exponential business
growth and the innovation in Branch Teller and
Branch Banking Model. The implementation of
these initiatives will raise the capability of our
employees, strengthen IT strategic functions as
well as maximise IT support to business strategies.

Within Operations and Technology Division,


Operations has maximised the advantages of
IT system and support. The automation rate of
Operations has been improving over time and
is expected to further increase in 2015. This
improved the productivity by more than 20% in
2014, shortened transaction processing time and
achieved agreed service level of the whole division
at 99.15%.

Moreover, with existing strengths and advantages,


Operations and Technology Division commits
to work together with the Banks other business
unity to improve the bank overall credit processes,
increase the automation rate, and achieve credit
turnaround time reduction in 2015 by 20%
compared with 2014.

2015 going forward

In 2015, we will continue on our customer centric


virtual banking journey based on key the principle
of delivering products and services to customers
anytime, anyhow, anywhere through their preferred
banking channel.

We will continue to leverage information technology


to its full potential to empower Techcombanks
banking platform and services as Every Day Bank
of Choice for all the targeted customer segments.

We will integrate views on the entire customer/


bank relationship through MDM (Master Data
Management), CRM (Customer Relationship
Management), advance analytics and inter
connected business processes across channels
and product lines. This will help us to better
understand customers financial needs to better
serve them now and in the future. Bank employees
would be better equipped to handle customers
inquiries and service requests as they would have
a holistic view of customers relationship across
banking channels. Similarly, customers would be
able to initiate the request on one channel and
complete it on other channels at their preference
and convenience.
The other key initiatives that would continue in
2015 includes Treasury System, Enterprise Wide
Collateral and Limits Management Systems,
Profitability and Cost Allocation Model , new Online

E-Banking
Continuously develop hi-tech products & services to help customer save time for banks transaction
and have more time for family

With internet users accounting for 40% of the


population in Vietnam, there is a growing demand
for electronic banking (e-banking) services which
provide a benchmark for a banks power and
prospect. Techcombank has been in the forefront to
provide E-banking through a strong technological
infrastructure.

Internet Banking

Recognized as one of the most dynamic bank in


the field, Techcombank has been leveraging its
technological advantages to optimise operations,
enhance service quality, improve processes,
develop new transaction channels, and promote
highly innovative and competitive products.
Among those products, our internet banking is
recognised as a top-notch internet banking service
in the market in terms of convenience, security,
speed and stability. Individual customers now can
easily, reliably and securely conduct almost all
basic current account and savings transactions via
internet using SMS One Time Password or token
key authentication method.
Furthermore, we are one of the first movers in the
market offering superior and versatile payment
functionality to meet the demands for a modern,
convenient and secure payment channel towards
cashless payment. Some of our functions
include prepaid phone account top up, utility
bills payment, insurance premium payment, and
online purchasing. Besides, Techcombank Internet

developed on the Banks Mobile Banking platform.


It was the first product of this type to be introduced
in the local market, which marked another
milestone in online money transfer and payment.
A customer can transfer money to a beneficiary via
some popular social networks such as Facebook
and Google+, or even via a text message, without
knowing the beneficiarys account number. This
innovative product has positively challenged
peoples conventional perception of banking
transactions. Moreover, it is possible to personalise

the transaction by attaching a picture, video clip,


or recording. With such innovations, we hope to
attract the highest number of Mobile Banking users
in the market and stay at the forefront of the mobile
device-based and cashless payment trend.
Given our continuous effort to invest in and boost
cashless payments method such as payment
cards, Internet Banking and Mobile Banking, over
the past years we have received appreciation
form customers and reputable international

organisations. In 2014, Techcombank received


Best Internet Bank 2014 award from Global
Banking & Finance Review and Top 5 for Internet
Banking award from VnExpress.
In 2015, e-banking products and services will be
further improved by offering the most convenient
and suitable features, responding better to
customer demand.

Banking enables customers set up scheduled


payments for automatic payments in the future with
only one time registration.
Better still, cardholders can now manage card
transactions, send support requests, or configure
card features on Techcombanks Internet Banking
instead of going to branches thanks to the
integration of the system.
Given the quality and convenience offer through
Techcombanks Internet Banking, the number of
Internet Banking users increased by 41% with
active users up by 33% in 2014. The average
number of internet banking transactions increased
by 16% and online payment transactions by 32%,
year-on-year.

Mobile Banking

The growth of mobile devices such as smart


phones and tablets has made mobile banking
an emerging preferred transaction channel
for customers. Therefore, Techcombank has
developed a comprehensive and long-term strategy
for offering financial services on mobile devices.
The strategy puts great emphasis on appropriate
platform, functions, and user-friendliness to make
it more appealing to use financial services on
mobile devices.
In November 2014, Techcombank launched Money

Risk Management
Accelerate in building risk awareness and risk management in a more intensive way across the bank via
regular and extensive training and people development activities

With strong awareness of the role that risk


management plays in a commercial banks
operations, Techcombank has developed a strong
risk management strategy underpinned by the
following principles:
u Safety in lending activities
u Diversified loan portfolio
u Streamlined and convenient processes
u Commitment to
development; and

people

and

system

u Prudent and forward-looking policies


This strategy has been established based on the
foundation of risk management system which is
aligned with the Banks business development
requirements and risk appetites over time,
enhances the risk prevention, mitigation and
control, and associates the Banks risk management
strategy with its business plan while staying
adaptive to the rapidly changing environment. With
the application of advanced risk management tools
and international standards, risk management has
been implemented in all of the Banks operation,
aiming at the safety in customers transactions and
business stability of the Bank.

Key Achievements in 2014

During the year 2014, despite challenges in the


economy, Techcombanks portfolio quality has
been significantly improved compared with that in
the year 2013 through risk management and credit
control measures.
The Bank continued its de-risking initiatives for the

balance sheet by making conservative provisions


and selling more than VND 1,700 billion of nonperforming loans to VAMC in the year 2014. Credit
balance has been managed within the risk appetite
and acceptable tolerance. The Banks Capital
Adequacy Ratio at 15.65% is considerably higher
than the regulatory 9% of the SBV. We have
managed robust control over liquitidy risks, market
risks, and operational risks. With continuous risk
management control, no unexpected serious risk
occurred during the year 2014.
These achievements were attributable to our
continuous innovation to improve the risk
management system, investment in the human
resources, the emphasis on risk management
culture as well as the re-engineering of
organizational structure of the Risk Management
Division. Accordingly, the operations of Risk
Management were effectively structured along
business segments to ensure that risk management
remains abreast and met the demand of business
development. Moreover, policies, processes
and the risk management framework has also
been developed and improved to strengthen risk
management effectively control business activities,
and improve transparency in banks operation.
Employee training was key focus in order to equip
our staff with knowledge in line with international
standards and to enhance the risk culture in
business units.
Some key risk management projects in the year
2014 are as detailed below:

Strengthening Risk Management


Framework
In the year 2014, the Bank continued to strengthen
its Risk Management Framework by maintaining

the activities of the Risk Working Group (RWG) and


Operational Risk Working Group (ORWG). These
Working Groups identify, assess and manage all
material risks faced by the Bank and highlight the
action plans/ recommendations to the Board of
Management and the Board of Directors.

Risk Appetite Framework

In the year 2014, Techcombank completed a


new Risk Appetite Framework to support risk
acceptance in a selective and reasonable way
and to determine the risk triggers of the Bank as
a tool to monitor risks and enhance the awareness
of risk management responsibilities. The Risk
Appetite Framework is well aligned with the vision,
mission and core values of Techcombank, with risk
management principles at the core, focusing on

sustainable growth, healthy balance sheet structure


with risk being commensurate with returns.

Basel II compliance

As one of the ten local banks selected by the State


Bank of Vietnam to develop and apply Basel 2 risk
management standards, with the support of Ernst and
Young, one of the worlds leading consulting firms in
Banking Finance, Techcombank has completed the
gap-analysis phase for Basel 2 and is now preparing
the master plan for the following years.

Risk Culture

Techcombank has made efforts to strengthen,


outreach and build a culture of awareness and
responsibility in risk management throughout the
Bank during the year 2014 through training and

people development activities to ensure that the


principle of Three Lines of Defense continues
being developed and expanded.

Credit risk rating model

In 2014, the Bank also continued building and


upgrading its internal scoring and credit rating
systems to assess personal and business banking
customers.
Specifically,
Techcombank
has
developed a new rating model for micro enterprises
(MSME customers), which is expected to go live at
the beginning of 2015.
Besides, the Bank planned to carry out the project
of hiring foreign consultants to validate the Banks
credit rating system, aiming at validating the
existing rating system and making necessary

Techcombank Annual Report 2014

adjustments, creating the premise for debt


classification under qualitative methods according
to the State Banks road map for adopting Basel 2
standardized approach in Vietnam.

and as stipulated by the State Bank of Vietnam, the


Bank will work with external consultants to validate
and upgrade its credit models for business banking
as well as retail banking.

Debt collection

The Bank will also upgrade its VaR and ALM


dynamic simulation together with customer behavior
analysis such as renewal, premature withdrawal
or prepayment.
The Bank will also improve
the operational risk management tools such as
collection of loss estimation data (LED), risk control
self-assessment (RCSA) and key risk indicators
(KRI). Besides, data and data quality management
will also be carried out in the year 2015.

During the year 2014, debt management and


collection system has been centralized with
well defined functions, policies and procedures
through the deployment of 6 debt collection and
management models for each customer segment.
Techcombank has managed and reviewed the credit
quality effectively through its early warning system
and mechanism of credit review and problem loan
management. Debt collection activities focused
on controlling, minimizing potential risk. Problem
loan portfolio has been periodically reviewed and
restructured or applied with other suitable financial
solutions.

Management of the unexpected

In the year 2014, Techcombank continued building


and strengthening its business continuity plan
(BCP), which involves training for Banks employees
to raise their awareness and responsiveness
toward incidents or disasters, such as fires, floods,
earthquakes, epidemics, and terrorist attacks. The
Bank also established measures to deal with other
operational risks, such as disruption of supplies, or
breakdown or failure of the computer systems.

Key objectives in 2015

In the year 2015, the Bank will continue to


enhance the current foundation as well as ensure
implementing development plans within the
Banks risk tolerance. The Banks risk management
strategy in the year 2015 will cover the following
key areas:

Basel 2 Project Implementation

With the aim of completing standardized approach


by the end of 2015, the execution of Basel 2 will
focus on applying quantitative and qualitative
KPIs, implementing technology solutions and
strengthening the risk culture.
In addition to ensure our readiness for the adoption
of Basel II advanced approach in the year 2018

70

Techcombank Annual Report 2014

Risk Management Framework

Techcombank will further strengthen its Risk


Management Framework in 2015 through
strengthening its reach and effectiveness of
the Forums on risk management, including
Risk Working Group (RWG), operational risk
management framework and the enhanced
activities of ARCO. The Basel 2 Gap analysis is
also part of Techcombanks strategy to develop its
master plan and road map for its Risk Management
Framework system to meet a number of
international standards and best practices

Continued development of the risk


managment

Techcombank has achieved significant progress in


the implementation of a strong Risk Management
Framework. One of the lists on the agenda in
the year 2015 Risk Strategy is to build the risk
culture, awareness, and risk management in a
more intensive way across the bank via training
and people development activities to ensure the
principle of Three Lines of Defense. Accordingly,
all of the Banks operations, from Business to
Support functions and Internal Audit, need to
ensure the balance between risk management and
providing high-quality services to customers, and
generating sufficient returns against acceptable
levels of risks.

Improved portfolio management and


risk identification
The Bank will continue building and improving its
portfolio management and risk identification via an

improved early warning system (EWS) in order to


ensure that customers potential credit problems
will be identified at an early stage. Building a data
warehouse to improve information integrity and
quality, in which credit information is the key, is the
foundation for the development of credit models
and advanced techniques for monitoring loans.

Debt classification and development


of credit model

We will continue the development and improvement


of debt classification and customer rating systems,
including the development of credit rating models
for each segment which set the stage for more
advanced credit assessment models to help the
Bank comply with Basel II requirements and at the
same time, quantify risk.

Investment in risk infrastructure

In 2015, Techcombank will continue investment in new


technologies to support its risk management activities,
including the deployment of the new credit limit and
collateral management system, the improvement of
Loan Origination System, the upgrading of Treasury
transaction monitoring system and the development of
customer and credit management information system for
business banking customers.

Compliance Management

support functions. Furthermore, compliance


rewards were granted to outstanding individuals
and teams to recognise their contributions to the
Banks compliance foundation.

The Bank aims to strengthen the corporate compliance to manage risks effectively and meet
sustainable business development objectives

Compliance, Operational Risk Management, and Legal Division is responsible for the overall compliance
management of Techcombank in the following long-term directions:
u Development of a transparent, effective, and system based on international-standards for controlling
operational and compliance risks
u Development of a legal assistance system that is closely aligned with business development, be able
to provide warnings, and timely identify business opportunities arising from legal changes
u Becoming the most compliant bank

Achievements in 2014

With clear objectives and strong support of the


Banks overall directions, Compliance Management
has recorded remarkable achievements which
contributed to the successes of business lines and
the Banks operation. A comprehensive control
system was put in place with three coherent lines
of defence (business/support/operation units in
the first line, control functions in the second line,
and Internal Audit in the third line of defence). In
the network, the first two lines of defence, namely
Branch Operations and Regional Compliance
Control, made positive contributions to early risk
identification, considerable reduction of serious
violations, and enhancement of loss settlement.
Risk management was strengthened with finetuned policies, a roadmap for implementing
Basel II (established by Basel Committee on
Banking Supervision), tightened supervision, and
coordination in taking high-risk based corrective
actions. As a result, the Banks Risk Heat Map
was gradually improved. Regarding cross-division/

cross-function risks, Operational Risk Management


took the lead in allocating responsibility to different
stakeholders, agreed upon remedial measures,
collected information, and tracked progress.
Therefore in 2014, risks were identified in the
early stage and resolved promptly and no major
operational risks emerged at the bank-wide level.

Such individual and team efforts substantially


improved compliance indicators in 2014. The
percentage of high-risk items in the Banks Risk
Heat Map declined and these risks has adequate
controls. Losses shrank year-on-year (58%) and
loss recovery increased significantly to 97%
(from 14% in 2013). Compliance management
contributed to the formation of a solid foundation
for sales promotion, the delivery of best services
to customers, and sustainable growth for the
whole Bank.

Plan for 2015

In 2015, the Bank will focus on the following actions


to achieve Compliance Control and Operational
Risk Management objectives:
u Continue implementing Operational Risk
Management framework which is based
on Basel standards and best management
practices. Specifically, the Bank will finalise
the Operational Risk Appetites, improve

fundamental governance tools such as Loss


Data Collection, Key Control Self-Assessment,
and Key Risk Indicators, agree on the risk
assessment methodology and model based
on three lines of defence (i.e. Internal Audit,
Operational Risk Management/Control, and
business units), and benchmark the Banks
business lines and operations against Basel
u Enhance the quantity and quality of inspections
for better compliance control and early
identification of potential risks in an uncertain
macro environment. Particularly, on-site
inspections of business units/strategic or highrisk operations will be maintained. Controllers
and supervisors in the first line of defence will
be trained, jointly perform some tasks with other
lines of defence, and have their performance
evaluated

u Continue
improving
compliance
culture
and awareness by balancing between the
management of compliance and operational
risks and the delivery of high-quality products
and services to customers and balancing
between risks and returns
A comprehensive communication strategy will be
carried out in cooperation with Marketing Division
in an interactive manner to raise the awareness on
compliance, law, and operational risk management,
share legal and operational risk knowledge,
warnings, and lessons learned with the whole Bank.
Training workshops and job-specific compliance
tests will be conducted, and compliance indicators
for business/support divisions will be revised to aid
the implementation of the strategy.

u Continue improving the interaction between


three lines of defence and align them with the
Banks strategy by investing in technology
(Weblog and Governance Risk Compliance
software program) to boost efficiency and meet
the Banks long-term compliance/operational
risk management objectives

One of the objectives of 2014 was to enhance


the compliance and operational risk management
culture in all units of the Bank. Accordingly,
many communication and training activities were
conducted throughout the bank and at all employee
levels. In particular, more than 30 training sessions
were organized in 16 regions of Sales & Distribution
Division; more than 20 internal advanced training
sessions in derivative trading, bank guarantee,
legal entities in transactions, and issues in civil
transaction, etc. were successfully conducted by
in-house trainers and representatives of relevant
State agencies. These activities remarkably raised
the risk management awareness and strengthened
the compliance culture in both business and

Financial Statement

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors


VIETNAM TECHNOLOGICAL AND COMMERCIAL JOINT STOCK BANK
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Vietnam Technological and Commercial Joint Stock Bank (the Bank) and its subsidiaries
(collectively, Techcombank) which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as at 31 December 2014, the consolidated statement of income and cash flows for
the year then ended and the explanatory notes thereto which were authorized for issue by the Banks Board of Management on 16 March 2015, as set out on
pages 6 to 79.

Managements responsibility

The Banks Board of Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with Vietnamese
Accounting Standards, the Vietnamese Accounting System applicable to credit institutions issued by the State Bank of Vietnam and the relevant statutory
requirements applicable to financial reporting, and for such internal control as the Board of Management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of the
consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Vietnamese
Accounting Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend
on the auditors judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making
those assessments, the auditor considers the internal control relevant to the entitys preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design
audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entitys internal control. An
audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


The following significant accounting policies have been adopted by Techcombank in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements.

(a)

Basis of consolidation financial statement preparation

(i) Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are those companies over which the Bank has the power to govern the financial and operating policies. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from
the date on which control is transferred to the Bank. They are de-consolidated from the date on which control ceases.
(ii)

Transactions eliminated on consolidation


Inter-company balances, transactions and unrealised gains on transactions between those subsidiaries and the Bank are eliminated. Unrealised losses also
eliminated unless transactions provide evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. The accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed when
necessary to ensure the consistency with the policies adopted by the Bank.

(b) Foreign currency transactions


Transactions are recorded in their original currencies. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than VND are translated into VND at
the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary foreign currency assets and liabilities are reported using the exchange rates effective
at the date of the transactions. Foreign exchange translation differences arisen from revaluating the balances of foreign trading accounts at the year-end
are recognised in the consolidated statement of income. Income/expense transactions incurred in foreign currencies are recognised in the consolidated
statement of income in VND using the exchange rates ruling on the dates of the transactions.
(c)

Cash and cash equivalents


Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, gold on hand, balances with the SBV, Government promissory notes and other short-term valuable papers
which are eligible for rediscount at SBV, demand deposits and term deposits with other credit institutions with original terms to maturity not exceeding three
months, and investment securities with terms from the date of purchase to maturity not exceeding three months.
Gold is revalued at the balance sheet date and the differences arising on revaluation are recorded in the consolidated statement of income.

(d) Balances with and loans to other credit institutions


From 1 June 2014
The classification of credit risks for balances with and loans to other credit institutions and the corresponding allowance are in accordance with Circular
02 and Circular 09. Accordingly, the Bank makes specific provision for balances with, (except for current accounts) and loans to other credit institutions as
described in policy in Note 4(i).

Classification and recognition

(ii) Measurement
Listed equity securities held for trading are stated at cost less allowance for diminution in the value which is determined be reference to closing prices of
securities from the Ho Chi Minh and Hanoi Stock Exchange at reporting date.
Allowance for diminution in the value of unlisted securities which are actively traded on trading market for unlisted public companies market (Upcom) are
determined as the average transaction price as at consolidated balance sheet date.
Allowance for unlisted securities which are not actively traded on Upcom is determined by reference to the average price of the transaction price quotes
from three securities companies having chartered capital above VND300 billion. In case that market price of these securities is not available or cannot be
determined reliably, these securities are stated at carrying value at the date of determining market price.
Listed debt securities held for trading are stated at cost less allowance for diminution in the value by reference to the yield curve listed at the Hanoi Stock
Exchange at reporting date.
From 1 June 2014
Debt securities held for trading which were unlisted corporate bonds are stated at cost less allowance for credit risk as stipulated in Circular 02 and Circular
09 as described in Note 4(i).
Prior to 1 June 2014

Techcombank recognises investment securities on the date that it acquires substantially all the risks and rewards of owning these securities.
(iii) Measurement
Equity securities
Listed available-for-sale equity securities are stated at cost less allowance for diminution in the value which is determined by reference to closing prices of
securities from the Ho Chi Minh City Stock Exchange and the Hanoi Stock Exchange at reporting date.
For the unlisted available-for-sale equity securities which are actively traded on the unlisted public company market (Upcom), allowance for diminution in
the value is determined by the average trading price in the market at the reporting date.
For the unlisted available-for-sale equity securities which are not registered on the Upcom, allowance for diminution in the value is calculated based on the
average quoted prices of three securities companies whose share capital greater than VND300 billion. In case the quoted prices of three securities companies cannot be determined, the securities are recorded at carrying value at the date of determining market price.
Debt securities
Debt securities are initially stated at cost, including transaction costs and other directly attributable costs. They are subsequently recognised at amortised
cost (affected by premium/discount amortisation) less allowance for diminution in value. Premium and discounts arising from purchases of debt securities
are amortised to the consolidated statement of income on a straight-line basis over the period from acquisition date to maturity date.
Post-acquisition interest income of available-for-sale debt securities and held-to maturity investment securities is recognised in the consolidated statement
of income on an accrual basis.
Listed available-for-sale debt securities and held-to-maturity investment securities are measured at cost less allowance for diminution in value which is determined by reference to the yield curve quoted on Hanoi Stock Exchange at the balance sheet date.
Techcombank determines allowance for diminution in value of unlisted available-for-sale debt securities and unlisted held-to-maturity debt securities (excluding unlisted corporate available-for-sale and held-to-maturity debt securities) in accordance with regulations stipulated in Circular 228 and Circular 89
as described in Note 4(e).

Techcombank Annual Report 2014

Having applied such change in accounting policy Techcombank made general and specific allowances amounted to VND140,272 million and VND319,247
million, respectively, for unlisted corporate bonds during the year.
(iv) Special bonds issued by Vietnam Asset Management Company
Special bonds issued by Vietnam Asset Management Company (VAMC) are term valuable papers, which aim to purchase bad debts of the Bank. Special
bonds are classified as held-to-maturity securities. Special bonds are initially recorded at cost at transaction date and subsequently carried at par value
less allowance. Par value of special bonds is equivalent to the value of bad debts sold which is the principal balance net of specific allowance made but not
utilized for those debts.
According to requirement of Circular No. 19/2013/TT-NHNN issued on 6 September 2013 by the SBV on the purchase, sales and disposal of bad debts of the
Vietnam Asset Management Company, during the holding period of special bonds, Techcombank makes specific provision with the minimum annual amount
equalling par value divided by total number of tenor of the bonds (currently 5 years). Techcombank allocates this annual allowance expense on a monthly
basis. The allowance is recorded to the consolidated statement of income.
(g) Long-term investments
Other long term investments are investments in the equity of companies without control or significant influence over the investees. These investments are
initially stated at cost.
Allowance for diminution in the value of investment securities and long-term investments
Allowance for diminution in value is required for other long-term investments when investee companies suffer losses, except when the loss was anticipated in their business plan before the date of investment. Allowance for diminution in value is determined as the total actual contributed capital of parties to
the investee company (par value) less (-) the actual owners equity multiplied (x) by the Techcombanks ownership percentage (par value) in the investee
company. An allowance is reversed only to the extent that the investments carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been
determined if no allowance had been recognised.

any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous period.
Deferred tax is provided using the balance sheet method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realisation or
settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.
A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilised.
Deferred tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.
(aa) Earnings per share
Techcombank presents its basic earnings per share (EPS) for its ordinary shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to the
ordinary shareholders of Techcombank by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year.
Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to the ordinary shareholders of Techcombank and the weighted average number of
ordinary shares outstanding during the period for the effect of all dilutive instruments, include convertible bond. Dilutive ordinary shares have dilution effect
only when their conversions to ordinary shares could reduce earnings per share or increase loss per share. If potential ordinary shares do not have dilutive
effect, Techcombank does not present diluted EPS.
The weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year takes into account the effect of mandatory convertible bonds in issue and the change
in conversion rate due to bonus shares issuance or dividend in shares during the year.
(ab) Segment reporting
A segment is a distinguishable component of Techcombank that is engaged either in providing related products or services (business segment), or in providing products or services within a particular economic environment (geographical segment), which is subject to risks and rewards that are different from those
of other segments. Techcombanks primary format for segment reporting is based on geographical segments; Techcombanks secondary format for segment
reporting is based on business segments.

(ii)

Credit risk
Techcombank is subject to credit risk through its lending and investing activities and in cases where it acts as an intermediary on behalf of customers or
other third parties or issues guarantees. The risk that counterparties might default on their obligations is monitored on an ongoing basis. To manage the level
of credit risk, Techcombank attempts to deal with counterparties of good credit standing, and, when appropriate, obtains collateral. Techcombanks primary
exposure to credit risk arises through its loans and advances. The amount of credit exposure in this regard is represented by the carrying amounts of the assets on the balance sheet. In addition, Techcombank is exposed to off balance sheet credit risk through commitments to extend credit and guarantees issued.
Techcombank manages credit risk by using various tools: development and issuance of internal policies and regulations on credit risk management;
development of credit procedures; regular review of credit risk; development of a credit rating system and loan classification; setting up authorisation levels
within the credit approval process.

Currency risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. Techcombank was incorporated and
operates in Vietnam, with VND as its reporting currency. The major currency in which Techcombank transacts is VND. Techcombanks loans and advances
were mainly denominated in VND with the remainder mainly in USD. However, some of Techcombanks other assets are in currencies other than the reporting
currency and USD. Techcombanks management has set limits on positions by currency in accordance with Techcombanks policy and SBVs regulation.
Positions are monitored on a daily basis and hedging strategies used to ensure positions are maintained within established limits.
