NAB INNOVATION CENTRE VIETNAM

Information about the Company
The NAB Innovation Centre Vietnam (NAB Vietnam) is a software development center that is part of the National Australia Bank (NAB) Group, Australia's second-largest bank by market capitalization. NAB Vietnam helps the NAB Group deliver innovative technology and digital solutions, improving the experience for its 10 million plus customers.

NAB Vietnam has the vision to become the best software engineering center in banking globally and be renowned for top-tier talent. The company’s mission is to connect local Vietnamese talent to the customer needs of the NAB Group and create a successful sustainable technology community for NAB in Vietnam.

To build a global workforce, the Group has chosen Vietnam as the location for its new innovation center. The country's emerging status as a Southeast Asian tech hub, combined with its tech-savvy population, makes it an ideal choice. NAB Vietnam is dedicated to fostering local talent and contributing to the growth of the local tech ecosystem.

Corporate Culture & Company Activities
Staff working at NAB Vietnam are provided with great opportunities in terms of both personal and professional growth.

The company’s role includes helping the NAB Group deliver better banking experiences for customers. Staff play a key role in helping shape some of the most important moments people have in their lives, such as buying a home.

NAB Vietnam wants to enable greater choice and flexibility in where and how its staff work to optimize productivity, balance, inclusion, and well-being where it complements rather than inhibits its employee’s ability to perform their roles.

NAB Vietnam intends to ensure high levels of staff engagement measured against global standards using bi-annual surveys. The company invests in its people through online learning platforms, English training courses, technical skills through its Cloud Guild, training opportunities in Australia, and a globally recognized banking industry qualification for all staff—Career Qualified in Banking (CQiB). Through the company’s world-standard Distinctive Leadership program, it ensures a consistent approach to how its people leaders manage and coach every day.

Connecting its employees to the local community, the company has begun participating in volunteering days that align with its local NAB Group CSR mission, for example in areas such as climate change and environmental protection.

Achievements and Impact
It has been nearly five years since the NAB Group was set up in Vietnam and it continues to witness exceptional growth in terms of not only team size but also in its capabilities and the development of its people.

Over the past four years of robust growth and development, NAB Vietnam has grown from having less than 50 staff to now encompassing an established workforce of more than 1,300 employees. The organization focuses on enhancing the skills of its software engineers, data scientists, programmers, and data analysts in both Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi.

In October 2023, NAB Vietnam was honored with the title of "Fast Enterprise" by the prestigious awards organization, Asia Pacific Enterprise Awards (APEA). Alongside these successes, the NAB Group has officially become one of Australia's largest private investors in Vietnam, actively contributing to trade cooperation between the two countries.

In April 2024, NAB Vietnam expanded with a brand-new, world-class office located in one of the A+ grade buildings in the Thu Thiem urban area, Thu Duc City. Alongside the opening of this new office, NAB Vietnam will establish an internationally standardized working environment for its colleagues and further contribute to the development of Vietnam's digital economy in the future.

In the same year, NAB Vietnam proudly became a winner of the "Corporate Excellence" category at the Asia Pacific Enterprise Awards.

Future Direction
NAB Vietnam's future direction involves a strategic focus on further expanding its presence in Vietnam while nurturing local talent and fostering community engagement.

As part of its expansion roadmap, NAB Vietnam plans to continue heavily investing in local talent and enhancing the Vietnamese tech community. The company has already established itself as having the highest levels of software development productivity within the NAB Group, and the center will increasingly serve as a hub for innovation and collaboration, providing opportunities for both colleagues and young aspiring tech talents to thrive. It aims to increasingly play a larger role in generating more innovative ideas for the NAB Group.

Additionally, NAB Vietnam aims to strengthen its partnerships with local NGOs and universities, leveraging these collaborations to offer more benefits to the community and support the development of future tech leaders. Further planned CSR activities will reinforce NAB Vietnam's commitment to enriching its internal culture while contributing to environmental sustainability, inclusivity, and community engagement.
