In Asia, the market is still growing stronger
than in Europe and Vietnam is one of 10
countries which has the highest volume of
remittances worldwide. These are reasons
why Agribank represents a great potential and
strategic market for international payments
and remittance services.
Today, Agribank is formally certified to conduct
international payments and remittance servi-
ces through Eurogiro, both for credits and
cash pay-outs.
Agribank’s first corridor in Eurogiro will be
to the Philippines with Lank Bank of The
Philippines.
With its strong resources and great influence
on the Vietnamese remittance market, Agri-
bank is expected to be a strategic member in
Asia, greatly complementing the current reach
in the region for Eurogiro.

Eurogiro Connectivity
Certificate
New Eurogiro members must pass a connectivity test to
activate their connection to the Eurogiro network.
This is done to ensure standardised message exchange
according to the Service Level Agreements. It reduces the
costs of receiving partners and efficiently brings new mem-
bers up to speed.
ELEMENTS IN THE CONNECTIVITY TEST:
•
Access to central testing facility
•
Certification of selected messages (Credits, Cash etc.)
•
Well defined test cases
•
Exceptions & investigations
The Eurogiro Network Operational Centre (ENOC) is a
driving force in the certification and continues to be a key
partner in the daily operations.
The Connectivity Certificate is part of the MultiLateral Frame-
work for new members, along with single point of settlement
(ESSP) and SLAs.

corridors to partner countries with hardly any testing. From the left,
