As a result of CBA selling the Viet Nam banking business Commbank.Vn to a Vietnamese Bank we had to go to CBA and find out what the consequences will be for us. Friday morning we hopped in a taxi and attempted to go to the bank.
When our driver crossed the same street for the third time we asked him to stop. He was driving around in circles ... We just told him what he did, that was it. We were only 500 m away from the bank so we just walked.

| This was the last day of CBA trading ... and it was busy. |
We sat down and waited our turn ... Mrs Tram told us the problematic and the uncertainty. New business, everything will change ... Accounts, internet banking, debit cards ... the lot. The bank will close at 2 pm 1/9 and reopen on the 5th of September as VIB ~ Vietnamese International Bank.
We were told to come back on the 5th and sign the VIB forms to receive the new debit cards and also the token for internet access.
Today, 5th of September we went by GRAB taxi ~ like Uber, fixed price, good value. When we arrived we saw only motor bikes in front of the building. We thought last week was busy ... oh no.

Anyway, we had to get a number and wait our turn. Filling out and signing all the forms takes a lot of time, some were only in Vietnamese, but the friendly ex CBA staff helped us and explained everything really well. A lot of it was new for her too !!!
Now it is just a waiting game until we receive the token to access the internet (hopefully in English) and the Master card debit cards.
That took all morning ... now sitting down and updating the blog in the afternoon.
