On February 11, the Vietnam International Finance Center (VIFC – HCMC) was launched, making Ho Chi Minh City a regional financial growth pole. Nam A Bank (HOSE: NAB) is a strategic investor.

The event was attended by Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh, along with leaders of ministries, branches, central and local levels. At the same time, it gathered a large number of representatives of financial institutions at home and abroad, aiming to build a modern financial ecosystem, deeply integrated with international standards, in which green capital and sustainable finance are identified as development pillars.

According to experts, to realize this goal, the selection of banks with management capacity, technology platform and green finance deployment experience plays a key role, helping to connect the domestic market with global capital flows.

Nam A Bank's entry into the center is not only an important turning point in the bank's development process, but Nam A Bank will also be an important "link" in the modern financial ecosystem at VIFC - HCMC, where green capital is prioritized to promote circulation.

Speaking at the event, Mr. Tran Khai Hoan - Member of the Board of Directors cum Acting General Director of Nam A Bank affirmed: "We are strongly committed to accompanying the city to realize the aspiration to make Ho Chi Minh City a financial destination in the region and globally. The formation of VIFC - HCMC not only reflects the city's vision, but is also a strategic step of Vietnam to participate more deeply in the global financial flow, based on a modern, competitive, integrated and potentially breakthrough model.

Becoming a strategic component at VIFC - HCMC is the inevitable result of the persistent pursuit of the two pillars "Digitalization and Greening" that Nam A Bank has persistently built for many years. This is not only a development orientation, but also a long-term commitment to ensure capital flows are mobilized and allocated in a sustainable direction, while building a transparent and effective digital infrastructure to expand financial solutions on a large scale.

With a pioneering position as one of the first Vietnamese banks to establish an environmental and social risk management framework (ESMS), Nam A Bank possesses extensive experience in operating sustainable capital flows for renewable energy and high-tech agriculture - key areas that VIFC - HCMC is prioritizing to attract international financial institutions.

Not stopping there, through a wide network of partners with GCPF or BlueOrchard, ResponsAbility, Symbiotics..., the bank plays the role of a "bridge" to bring world financial standards into the domestic market, creating leverage for VIFC - HCMC to quickly integrate with global green capital markets.

Nam A Bank's strength is also guaranteed by its superior digital ecosystem and impressive business results. As of the end of 2025, the bank has officially entered the Top 15 banks with the largest total assets in the system, approaching the milestone of 420,000 billion VND with credit growth reaching 18.2%. Solid financial platform and modern technology allow Nam A Bank to provide complex financial services quickly and transparently.

To realize its commitments at VIFC - HCMC, Nam A Bank has proposed an initiative to establish the Green Finance Community - a gathering place for financial institutions and businesses sharing sustainable development ideals to share resources and synergize strength for VIFC - HCMC.

Specifically, Nam A Bank has established a strategic triangle: "standards – infrastructure – capital" through cooperation agreements that in the afternoon of the same day (February 11, 2025) Nam A Bank will organize signing with partners such as: Receiving technical support packages to build and implement the Green Supply Chain (G-SCF) financing solution, ensuring the architecture is designed according to international standards from the beginning; developing the E-platform digital platform for G-SCF, digitizing the entire transaction process, integrating ESG data and improving transparency and efficiency; building a green bond framework to expand sustainable capital mobilization channels, strengthening market capacity.

Besides partners in the "strategic triangle" such as the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI), FiinGroup Vietnam..., Nam A Bank is continuing to expand cooperation with reputable domestic and foreign partners to build a Green Finance Community, attract international capital flows, develop infrastructure and accompany VIFC - HCMC in the new development phase.

The companionship of Nam A Bank at VIFC - HCMC is not only proof of the Bank's internal strength but also opens up expectations for a sustainable green financial era. When capital flows from VIFC - HCMC are "greened", Vietnamese businesses will have the opportunity to access abundant financial resources at optimal costs. This is an important launching pad to improve national competitiveness, affirming Vietnam's position on the global economic map.
