Lao-Viet Bank’s operation areas have spread over Laos, with its headquarters located in Vientiane and 5 branches and 9 transaction offices covering 8 key economic provinces out of the eighteen provinces in Laos.

Director General of Lao-Viet Bank Nguyan Van Bing, on behalf of the bank, praised the current celebration of the two historical days for Laos and Vietnam; the relationship between the two Parties and states is meaningful and most important for political relations and economicties between the two countries.
