OCBS raises charter capital by nearly VND 3 trillion as upgrade wave approaches and strengthens its position

OCBS has raised its charter capital to nearly VND 3 trillion through an issuance of shares to existing shareholders, a move described as timely as Vietnam was recently upgraded by FTSE Russell from Frontier Market to Secondary Emerging Market, strengthening investor confidence in the country’s capital markets.

Capital increase and planned use of funds

According to the company’s plan, the incremental capital will be used to strengthen funding for investment activities, proprietary trading, and margin lending operations. OCBS also intends to continue investing in technology, including upgrading its trading platform and optimizing operations to align with the securities sector’s digital transformation trend.

OCBS previously signed a comprehensive strategic cooperation with FPT Group to accelerate technology improvements and build a modern financial ecosystem based on AI and Big Data, aiming to deliver enhanced utilities and sustainable value to customers.

Business performance and internal deleveraging

The capital increase comes on the back of positive business results and a robust internal deleveraging process. By end-2025, OCBS reported operating revenue of over VND 274 billion, up 383% year-on-year.

Net profit after tax reached over VND 127 billion, up more than 827% year-on-year, exceeding its targets.

Digital transformation and expanded investor-support products

Alongside financial growth, OCBS intensified digital transformation by upgrading the OCBS Invest trading platform and its information security system. The company also expanded its financial services ecosystem and rolled out a range of investor-support products, including Margin Flash, Margin Prime, products linked to OCB accounts, and 24/7 cash in/out services, aimed at improving customer experience.

Service ecosystem aligned with investment banking and asset management

OCBS is developing its service ecosystem in line with an Investment Banking and Asset Management orientation. The company also participates in corporate events and strategic partnerships with major partners such as Orient Commercial Bank (OCB), FPT Group, Hoang Anh Gia Lai Group, and FiinGroup to diversify product lines and meet financing needs of target customers.

In addition, OCBS focuses on recruitment and training to improve staff quality in support of its Investment Banking objectives, strengthening its role in advising and connecting domestic and international investors.

Outlook

With a strengthened financial foundation and a strategic direction to become a professional Investment Bank and Asset Manager, OCBS is expected to continue sustainable growth, enhance its market position, and contribute positively to the development of Vietnam’s stock market.
