The solution has simplified clients’ financial transactions and has provided them access to a broader range of products and services.

In a significant achievement, Lao Development Bank (LDB) was honoured with the Laos Technology Excellence Award 2024 in the Mobile - Banking category. This accolade recognises the success of LDB's mobile financial services initiative, LDB Trust, which has transformed the way clients manage their finances by making transactions easier, faster, and more accessible.

Security and compliance are also top priorities for LDB. The bank adheres to stringent regulatory requirements and security standards, alongside robust customer protection policies, ensuring that LDB Trust is not only convenient but also safe and reliable.
