VNSC by Finhay has been raising the bar for Vietnam fintech for the last 8 years 🇻🇳

• Taking the industry beyond payments, serving more than 300K+ funded accounts investing across asset classes
• Pioneering compliance for fintechs in wealth management as the first to acquire a securities firm and license
• Setting new standards for user experiences when it comes to unlocking various asset classes on a digital platform, from stocks to gold to bonds

As it celebrates its 8th birthday today, we go back to the company's roots, and the pivotal moments that led the startup to this point in our docu-podcast series Against All Odds:

• How did growing up in Hanoi's Old Quarter influence Huy's view of entrepreneurship?
• How Huy found inspiration from Australian entrepreneurs like Chris Brycki and platforms like Acorns (the founder would eventually fund them later on)
• Why Huy decided to return to Vietnam to start Finhay
• How much Vietnam has evolved in fintech and digital banking in the last eight years (even surpassing Australia in some aspects)

Part 2 on Finhay's early challenges launching its first product and raising its first round coming next week! Subscribe to get notified.
