August 5, 2008
VietNamNet Bridge: Commercial banks have voiced their protest against a proposed ban that would prohibit banks in Vietnam from collecting ATM fees from state employees who get salaries from the state budget.Luu Duc Khanh, director of An Binh Bank, said that it would be unfair to collect fees from other clients, while exempting fees for state employees. Khanh said that his bank may exempt fees for wounded soldiers or relatives of revolutionary martyrs, but there will be no preference made for others.
