The Charity Platform is a digital solution providing technology infrastructure to serve humanitarian and charitable activities in a transparent, convenient and effective direction. The center of the platform is a 4-digit transparent payment account provided by MB for free to organizations and individuals mobilizing contributions; all transactions are automatically updated and publicized in real time.
Along with that, the Charity application, thiennguyen. app website and interconnected digital components support creating campaigns, receiving contributions, tracking progress, preparing revenue and expenditure reports and connecting the community conveniently, transparently and effectively.

Mr. Chu Hai Cong, Public Relations Director, Military Commercial Joint Stock Bank (MB), shared: "In the new development stage, when science, technology, innovation and digital transformation are increasingly playing an important role in sustainable development, MB wishes to continue to accompany organizations, partners and the international community to promote technology initiatives for the community, thereby making practical contributions to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
Dr. Duong Thi Kim Lien, Head of TECHFEST Vietnam Impact Technology Village, Director of the Institute for Enterprise Innovation Support (IBIA), a national expert of WSA in Vietnam, said: "The Charity Platform has solved the most difficult problem: trust".
