This is the first step in the cooperation package expected to be worth up to 40 million USD from this organization to promote comprehensive finance, towards small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Vietnam.
In the context of Vietnam's economy maintaining growth momentum and expanding the depth of integration, the demand for medium and long-term capital sources for production, trade, infrastructure, supply chains... also continues to increase. This poses a greater requirement for the banking system in connecting sustainable development capital sources with the real economy.
Nam A Bank's proactive expansion of cooperation with international financial institutions, attracting foreign capital, shows the increasingly clear role of the bank as an important bridge, contributing to leading and spreading financial resources to serve sustainable growth in Vietnam.
Nam A Bank and BlueOrchard have had a long-term cooperation process, creating an important foundation for the two sides to strengthen understanding, share long-term visions and jointly promote strategic cooperation associated with the long-term transformation and growth of the economy. On this basis, the expansion of cooperation is expected to help increase the scale of support, while improving the quality of capital flows through linking to sustainable development criteria.
At the same time, in recent times, Nam A Bank has continuously implemented many strategic steps associated with the International Financial Center in Ho Chi Minh City (VIFC – HCMC), the Green Finance Community initiative, as well as cooperation with international organizations such as IFC and Proparco to expand its sustainable financial platform, comprehensive finance and meet international standards.
With the capital just received from BlueOrchard, Nam A Bank is committed to prioritizing promoting comprehensive finance for the SME sector, and at the same time continuing to seek opportunities to expand the scale of cooperation in the coming time. In addition to improving credit access, the bank also provides trade finance, international payments and financial services solutions, serving businesses in the fields of manufacturing, trade, supply chains, infrastructure and investment.
After this funding, the total value of cooperation between the two sides has reached 80 million USD and will continue to expand in the near future, expected to reach 100 million USD in the second quarter of 2026. In addition to supporting SMEs, cooperation programs also target businesses owned by women, groups affected by climate change and customers who have been affected by epidemics, thereby contributing to the spread of comprehensive finance in Vietnam.
BlueOrchard is headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland and is a member of Schroders Group. With experience in investing in sustainable development goals, this organization not only provides financial resources but also carries standards on sustainable development, risk management and measurement of social efficiency.
The series of recent cooperation events with international financial institutions contributes to strengthening Nam A Bank's role as a reliable financial intermediary in connecting and transmitting development resources into the Vietnamese economy, thereby promoting growth momentum in a more sustainable direction.
At the same time, the shareholders' approval of strategic orientations such as establishing a member bank at VIFC - HCMC, expanding operations to the international market at the recent 2026 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders will be the foundation for Nam A Bank to continue to expand its growth space, improve integration capacity and gradually increase the bank's position in the financial market.
