BIDV donates VND60 billion to the Covid-19 Vaccine Fund

In response to the Prime Minister’s call, on 5 June 2021, at the launching ceremony of the Fund for vaccination prevention of coronavirus disease 2019, BIDV committed to donate an amount of VND60 billion (USD2.6 million) to the Fund.

In addition to the donation to the Fund, this year, BIDV and its Trade Union have quickly sent support to the frontline health workers in epidemic areas such as Hai Duong, Quang Ninh, Bac Giang, Bac Ninh, Vinh Phuc, Ha Tinh, K Hospital, Quang Binh, Lang Son... totaling over VND15 billion (USD652,000). In 2020 and 2021, BIDV has donated VND112 billion (USD4.9 million) to the fight against the pandemic.

Actively accompanying the Government on the prevention and fight against Covid-19 pandemic, in May 2021, BIDV also presented VND25 billion (USD1.1 million) to the Ministry of Health for vaccine purchase.

Earlier BIDV was assigned to receive donations for the Covid-19 Vaccine fund. After the announcement by the Prime Minister on the establishment of the Fund for Vaccination Prevention of Coronavirus Disease 2019, the Ministry of Finance set up a management for the Fund, announcing the bank accounts to receive the donations from domestic and international individuals and organizations. Accordingly, BIDV is selected to open accounts for the Fund.

The entire amount of donations will be fully and promptly managed by the Fund and will be openly and transparently used for the right purposes in accordance with the law.

BIDV commits to quickly and safely serve the operation of the Fund and provide the best services. Especially, BIDV’s customers who send donations to the Fund’s bank account opened at BIDV will be free of charge via any channel that the bank offers: at the bank counter, via BIDV iBank (for corporates) and BIDV SmartBanking app (for individuals).
