consumer financial products to serve 27 million families in Vietnam. It will provide

combining Masan's offline-to-online vision with Trusting Social's ability to
democratize financial services. In addition, the partnership will enable Masan to
drive efficiencies in its core business by leveraging Trusting Social's AI capabilities
in areas as diverse as retail store selection, demand & supply planning, and product
assortment & development.

Trusting Social's Founder and CEO, Nguyen Nguyen, PhD. said, "I am proud that a
Vietnamese team has created an innovative credit scoring Artificial Intelligence

are utilizing to serve their consumers better. Our partnership with Masan is exciting
since we broaden our platform from credit access to a total consumer life solution.

transformation and disruption on par with global peers."

and ML platform and has leveraged it to become the leading offline and online daily,
consumer life platform. The Trusting Social partnership provides Masan a similar

Our job together now is to develop it from a pure credit scoring use case to a
holistic Consumer engine."
