Under the partnership agreement, Shinhan Bank and Khoi Nguyen Educational Investment and Development JSC (KNE) will jointly provide parents with low-interest credit, increasing financial ownership in education investment for their children by advancing tuition fees.
The bank will issue credit cards with 0 percent instalment payments and payment terms from 6 to 9 months, supported by KNE. This enables parents of students enrolled in The Canadian International School System (CISS) to make annual tuition fee payments.
KNE is currently the owner of CISS, including Canadian International School (CIS), Bilingual Canadian International School (BCIS), Canadian-Vietnam Kindergarten (CVK), Albert Einstein School (AES) and E-Study Online Teaching School.

Shinhan Bank will also provide further utilities and exclusive offers to schools and entities in the KNE network, including payroll services, preferential personal loans to teachers, co-branded credit cards and debit cards.
Shinhan Bank also plans to grant credits to KNE and its network schools for further investments in facilities, educational equipment or developing new educational projects.
Meanwhile, KNE will support Shinhan Bank in promoting its "School Banking" tuition collection product, which enables tuition payment for the KNE schools network and Shinhan Bank's online payment website. This system instantly records and automatically tracks cash inflows.
