History

The rapid development of Financial Technology (Fintech) has become an inevitable trend in the global economy, serving as a key driving force for digital transformation and the modernization of Vietnam’s financial and banking system.

Fintech not only enables the emergence of new business models but also represents a critical solution for the implementation of the National Financial Inclusion Strategy, in line with the policies and orientations of the Party and the State.

At the same time, Vietnam has been receiving strong interest and active support from international organizations, investment funds, and global technology enterprises. This favorable environment has positioned Fintech as a spearhead sector in the era of the digital economy.

Recognizing the significant potential and strategic role of Financial Technology, Dai Nam University decided to establish Fintech Academy (DNU–FTA) as a pioneering unit in education, research, and the development of high-quality Fintech human resources in Vietnam.

The Fintech Academy was officially founded in August 2024 with the mission of supplying high-quality Fintech human resources, including professionals equipped with comprehensive knowledge, practical skills, and strong professional ethics. The Academy aims to promptly meet both the quantitative and qualitative workforce demands of Fintech development, entrepreneurship, and innovation in Vietnam, now and in the future.
