The Trade Union of the Joint Stock Commercial Bank for Investment and Development of Vietnam (BIDV) encouraged its employees across the whole bank system to provide emergency aid worth over VND300 million to families of victims affected by the floods of 20-22 July in the provinces of Yen Bai, Thanh Hoa, Son La, Phu Tho, Lao Cai and Hoa Binh.

BIDV has provided initial financial aid of VND10 million per person to families who have lost a loved one or have a missing family member. The bank has assigned its branches in the area to work with local authories to directly present the money to the families of victims.

Earlier BIDV joined local authorities to provide emergency relief assistance to victims of flash floods in Vietnam’s heavily-affected northern provinces of Lai Chau and Ha Giang.

The bank hopes that the timely relief efforts from BIDV employees would help ease difficulties and damage caused by the floods in the Northwest and North central region.
