In that context, the "Banking Industry Digital Transformation" Contest 2026 is organized as a practical activity to concretize the directions of the State Bank, contributing to promoting awareness, developing digital capacity and arousing the spirit of innovation in the team of officials and employees throughout the industry.

The contest is also an opportunity for units to exchange, learn, share experiences and propose practical solutions, thereby directly contributing to the digital transformation process of each agency, unit and the entire system, practically contributing to responding to the "Digital Literacy" movement and the Digital Transformation Day of the Banking sector, promoting the dissemination of digital skills, forming digital thinking and culture in each official, union member, and employee...

Mr. Pham Tien Dung also said that the purpose of the Contest is also to equip knowledge for a large number of union members and workers throughout the industry.
