At ABBank’s 2026 annual general meeting on the morning of April 28, 2026, Chairman Vũ Văn Tiền said the bank’s rebranding had been prepared for a year, linking the new identity to the dove symbol. He said the dove represents happiness both domestically and internationally, and argued that a solid internal foundation would make the external image more sustainable.
Tiền noted that last year ABBank underwent major leadership changes, including his return as Chairman and the appointment of Le Mạnh Hùng as CEO. Tiền described the CEO as young, decisive, and intelligent.
Explaining his return, Tiền said banks are developing “as fast as day by day,” and that he returned because ABBank had been “sustainable” for decades but reached a point where further development was limited. He said the first priority after returning was to streamline the organization, reform the operating framework, clarify accountability, and empower top leaders. He emphasized execution over talk, adding that he coordinated macro and micro updates while the CEO adapted quickly. Tiền said the results reported were produced within nine months of the CEO officially taking the helm.
Tiền said ABBank’s current advantage lies in its mid-sized scale, arguing that a lean organization allows the bank to move flexibly and adapt better than larger peers. He also highlighted the importance of creative thinking, ambition, and passion for achieving success.
He urged shareholders to trust the bank, saying ABBank aims to deliver “outstanding results” this year, raise the An Bình brand profile, and provide tangible value to shareholders by increasing stock value.
ABBank said that in 2026 it aims to raise total assets to 291,000 billion dong, up 32% from the end of 2025. The bank set deposit and loan targets of 247,417 billion dong and 138,930 billion dong, respectively.
The pre-tax profit target for 2026 is 4,500 billion dong, up 28% from the previous year. ABBank also set a non-performing loan ratio target of below 1.5%.
Retail is identified as the main growth pillar, with the bank aiming for retail to contribute about 70% of total income and to serve 5 million individual customers.
ABBank recently announced its standalone Q1 2026 financial statements, reporting pre-tax profit growth sharply higher than the previous year. Standalone pre-tax profit for Q1 2026 reached 1,500 billion dong, up 268% year-on-year, the highest growth rate recorded to date.
By the end of March 2026, ABBank’s total assets exceeded 250,000 billion dong, up 13.48% from the start of the year. Customer lending rose 3.02% to 117.3 trillion dong, while customer deposits increased 9.93% to 146.6 trillion dong.
Premium gym chains are entering a “golden era” that is ending or already in decline, as rising operating costs collide with shifting consumer preferences toward more flexible, community-based ways to exercise. Long-term memberships are shrinking, margins are pressured by higher rents and facility expenses, and competition from smaller, more personalized…
