Two prestigious awards announced within the framework of the program jointly organized by Finance Investment Newspaper and Viet Research recognize VietABank's development philosophy: making innovation the driving force of growth and using ESG standards as the foundation for long-term expansion.
The recognition highlights VietABank's emphasis on innovation and its integration of environmental, social, and governance principles into business strategy. The awards reflect a commitment to creating a sustainable growth model through technology-driven transformation and responsible governance.
In recent years VietABank has defined digital transformation as a strategic pillar, focusing on investing in technology, modernizing operations, and developing digital financial solutions. In Q1 2026, VietABank rolled out the ezSHOP digital tax payment solution for small business households. Building on this progress, on June 19, 2026 the bank officially launched the VAB VISA Credit ezDaily electronic credit card, enabling online registration, rapid approval, and immediate use on the VietABank app. It is expected that in Q3 2026 VietABank will continue to deploy an Omni Channel platform for corporate clients and the STM automated branch, contributing to completing the service ecosystem for individuals, micro-businesses, and enterprises. Beyond investing in technology, VietABank is promoting a strong culture of innovation across the group. In 2025 the bank selected, recognized, and put 30 ideas into practice, contributing to improved operational efficiency and service quality.
This is the second consecutive year VietABank has been named among the Top 10 Green ESG Vietnam in Banking. This result shows the bank's ongoing efforts to integrate environmental, social, and governance principles into business.
Implementing a sustainable business strategy, VietABank focuses credit flows toward sectors that bring positive value for the environment and the economy. For example, the bank is a sponsor of the Nam Cau Kiền Industrial Park — a model ecological industrial park in Vietnam — and has issued many favorable policies for enterprises operating there. In addition, renewable energy projects, especially hydropower, are prioritized for financing to support the country's objective of reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Not only green finance, VietABank also actively shares the burden with the SME community. Through a partnership with the Small and Medium Enterprise Development Fund (SMEDF), the bank has rolled out lending packages with special favorable interest rates (from 1.2% per year to 4.4% per year), creating a launching pad for SME recovery and scale-up.
Alongside business goals, the mission of building a 'bank for the community' remains central. In the past year, a number of large-scale social welfare programs have been implemented effectively: supporting the poor, students and disadvantaged people in Quang Ninh, Da Nang, Quang Ngai; building charity houses and contributing to rural development in Binh Thuan; actively supporting communities affected by natural disasters with 133 million VND raised via the Vietnam Fatherland Front; contributing 500 million VND in support of the banking sector's disaster-relief program and other practical initiatives. VietABank aims to build a bank that is strong financially, contributes to the national economy, and serves the community.
The ongoing recognition as a leader in ESG shows that VietABank is building governance and development foundations aligned with the standards shaping the future of the financial market.
A VietABank representative stated after the dual awards: "We identify digital transformation, green transformation, and sustainable governance as key pillars of long-term development. Being recognized in both ESG and innovation is the motivation for VietABank to continue investing in technology, data, high-quality human resources, and sustainable development initiatives, thereby enhancing competitiveness and creating long-term value for customers, shareholders, and the community."
The two awards at the same time clearly demonstrate that a technology-driven growth model tied to social responsibility is on the right track and ready to meet the standards of the future financial market.
