The Hanoi-based company, which offers quick loans against vehicles, plans to increase its branches to 800 this year from 521, chairman and CEO Phung Anh Tuan told Bloomberg.

Last year it partnered with electronics retailer Mobile World to offer cash loans and with CIMB Bank Vietnam to reach underbanked parts of the country.

It is looking to raise VND4 trillion ($175.21 million) this year through bonds or international loans.
