VPBank plans to increase its charter capital in 2026 through a private placement of more than 264 million shares to a single foreign investor. In 2026, VPBank expects to raise its charter capital from more than VND 79,000 billion to VND 106,243 billion, according to the proposal for capital increase presented to the annual general meeting. This would be the largest capital increase among banking sector plans to date. Upon completion in 2026, VPBank would lead the system in terms of charter capital.

Phase 1, the bank intends to issue shares from retained earnings at a rate of over 26%, increasing charter capital from VND 79,339 billion to VND 100,000 billion. The implementation period is planned for roughly Q2-Q3 2026, after the board of directors completes the necessary approvals with the authorities.

The issue is expected to occur in Q3-Q4 2026. Source: VietStockFinance All funds raised will be used to extend credit to customers.
