Significant improvement in ranking in Forbes Global 2000 at the time VPBank summarized its development strategy for the 2022–2026 period and prepared for a new growth period (2026–2030).
The 2022–2026 period marks a breakthrough development of VPBank, with strong changes in scale, financial capacity and operating model. The transfer of 15% of charter capital to strategic shareholder Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (SMBC) has created a solid capital foundation, helping the bank rise to the leading group in the industry, while creating motivation to expand the financial ecosystem to fully meet the needs of more than 30 million customers.
On that basis, VPBank continues to improve its unique expanded ecosystem, with the participation of new members such as VPBankS, GPBank and recently CAEX, along with other member units such as FE CREDIT or OPES.
Stepping into the next 5-year period (2026-2030), VPBank aims to strongly expand its operating scale, while maintaining high growth rates on the basis of sustainable development. The focus of the strategy is to harmoniously combine "fast growth" and "improving quality", both expanding business scale and consolidating risk management capacity, optimizing operational efficiency and improving long-term competitiveness.
To realize this goal, VPBank will continue to deploy a strategic management and implementation model at the Group level, maximizing the synergistic strength of the ecosystem between the bank and member units, and expanding cooperation models. On that basis, VPBank aims to become the top choice of customers in every financial moment, through a comprehensive service ecosystem, an increasingly simple, convenient and personalized experience thanks to the application of artificial intelligence (AI).
