To date, Sacombank has more than 560 branches and transaction offices across Vietnam, and expanded its operations in Laos and Cambodia. Sacombank specializes in providing financial services to individuals and businesses, focusing on retail, digital banking and card services.
Many years ago, Sacombank implemented a Private CA (Certificate Authority) system to manage and authenticate electronic signatures for internal transactions and digital documents. This system helps Sacombank ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and authentication of electronic document signing processes, and supports the verification of user identity in online transactions. However, after a period of no maintenance, the old technology along with not receiving support from the deployment partner, the Private CA system becomes obsolete. In particular, when NEAC – National E-Signature Certification Center requires financial – banking institutions to ensure safety and compliance with e-signature regulations, Sacombank needs a more modern CA solution to overcome the above limitations.
