In those early days, the Branch encountered various difficulties, such as: shortage of human resources (only 9 officers in total, transferred from the State Bank of Vietnam (SBV)); lack of facilities and work space; incomplete and asynchronous legal framework for DI operations, and lack of experience. Despite all difficulties and challenges, the Branch performed DI operations while setting up its organizational structure, Party cell and unions, etc. Since its early days of implementing DI operations and building relationship with local authorities, the SBV, and relevant agencies, the Branch has carried out DI operations in its covered areas, achieving positive results. The Branch’s organizational structure, consisting of the Management Board and 06 departments, has been strengthened. The total number of staff is 73 qualified and enthusiastic officers, of which 86% have high educational qualifications (11 master’s degree holders and 52 bachelor’s degree holders, mostly in finance – banking). The Branch’s Party cell was established in February, 2001, then, it was upgraded to a Grassroots Party Committee in September 2016, of which there are currently 27 Party members. Its Trade Union and Youth Union were established in July, 2001 and March, 2002 respectively, and these have been growing strongly and operating actively, contributing to the Branch’s overall achievements ever since. Moreover, in 2006, just only 6 years after its establishment, the Branch's office was built in a convenient location in the city center, with spacious work area and adequate equipment.
