On June 11, 2026, in Hanoi, VietinBank was awarded by The Asian Banker as the Best SME Bank in Vietnam 2026, marking the sixth consecutive year the bank has been recognized in this category.
The recognition comes after six years of consistent performance supported by a customer-centric strategy. During a period when businesses faced pandemic-related disruptions, supply-chain interruptions, rising costs, and the need to accelerate digital transformation, VietinBank said it continued to innovate to provide practical, timely and effective financial solutions.
These efforts included streamlining the credit process and shortening approval times, as well as developing tailored financing packages for different customer segments. VietinBank said it helped tens of thousands of SME businesses access funding faster and more efficiently.
VietinBank also highlighted its role in promoting digital transformation in the corporate segment. The bank cited online disbursement services, online issuance of guarantees on the VietinBank eFAST platform, and a digital transaction ecosystem designed to help enterprises save time and costs and improve financial management.
Beyond capital and banking transactions, VietinBank said it supports sustainable development through green finance. It referenced the Green UP package, which provides 5,000 billion dong in funding for green energy, green exports, green infrastructure, green transportation and the circular economy, as well as green deposit products intended to bring green capital to companies. The bank said this is among the factors The Asian Banker considers when selecting the award.
On the milestone of six years of recognition, VietinBank launched the SME Wealth-Come 2026 program with offers for new SME customers. The bank cited online opening of corporate accounts via eKYC, waivers of up to 100% of various trade financing fees, and enhanced benefits for online deposits on the VietinBank eFAST corporate digital banking platform.
For deposits starting from 1 billion VND, enterprises will receive automatically adjusted interest rates on the digital banking platform for corporate customers.
VietinBank said it remains the Best SME Bank in Vietnam for six consecutive years, describing the leadership as evidence of its ongoing commitment to innovation, service quality, and sustainable partnership with the SME community in the digital era.
