ANZ Bank To Increase Wealthy Vietnamese Clients Tenfold

Australia & New Zealand Banking Group wants to increase its
wealthy Vietnamese client pool by
a factor of ten in the next three years, according to media
reports.
Since its launch a year ago
ANZ has attracted 1,000 high net
worth individuals in its Vietnamese business. The bank is aiming
to grow that figure to 10,000 by 2015,
Tareq Muhmood, chief executive office for Vietnam
told Bloomberg in an interview.
The number of staff at the division is also set to double in the
next few
months to cater to individuals with a minimum investment
threshold of $50,000.
“You’re looking at high-end professionals, or
entrepreneurs who have built up their business, and you clearly
have more than
10,000 in Vietnam,” Muhmood told the newswire.
Within the next five years ANZ aims to receive 30 per cent
of its revenue from Asia-Pacific.
