 Functional blocks at BIDV Head Offices:

 Wholesale banking: Maintaining and developing the relationship between BIDV and institutional customers (enterprises, financial institutions, insurance companies, securities, fund management .); carry out the introduction of products, services and business performance management

 Retail banking: comprehensively implements research, development, sales and marketing of standard products for individual customers

Therefore:

o In general, the function blocks at BIDV Head Office are mostly responsible for performing the function of managing and operating the overall operation of the system vertically (according to customer groups); do not directly conduct business and customer management (except for the Treasury) and do not approve centralized credit

12

o Wholesale and retail banking: comprehensive focal points on banking products and services provided to these customers, not business and customer management

o Risk management: in the field of credit business, head office (through the Credit Risk Management Committee) will approve credit risk for cases of credit extension beyond its authority ruling of the Branches (according to the amount of money, the specific time of credit extension as stipulated by BIDV for each branch in each period)

o Credit card business activities at BIDV (in retail banking): BIDV applies a distributed business model Details:

 At the branch: the sales department (customer management) is responsible

for marketing, finding customers, approving card credit according to the decentralized authority of the branch, then transferring the dossier to the Head Office to issue a card

 At the Head office (Card center): receive the branch's proposal, issue the

card to return to the Branch (or pay directly to the customer upon request) The card center is also the unit that sends notices of credit card statements (via email, messages, paper mail) to each customer; performing centralized debt collection operations on the due date of credit card outstanding of customers registering for automatic debit service via payment deposit

accounts at BIDV

 The branch is still responsible for the comprehensive management of each credit card customer, including the collection of bad debts, indicators of overdue debt ratios, and bad credit card debt of customers

2.2.3 The branch organization structure chart of BIDV:

 Currently, BIDV has 191 branches (including 01 branch in Myanmar)

 Branches are also divided into 05 blocks, which are divided into 2 groups according to the function of direct business and non-direct business (support, operation):  Customer management divisions, affiliated units: including business customer
