However, along with the pressure of fierce competition from foreign banks with strong financial strength and efficient risk management capabilities, to take the initiative in the process of integration, domestic banks need to quickly enhance their management capacity, apply advanced technologies to be able to provide diversified banking services with good quality, such as mobile banking, digital banking, multichannel banking, etc.
