SACOMBANK rises in the ranking of the world’s 500 most valuable banking brands

According to Brand Finance, the total brand value of the world’s 500 largest banks in 2026 reached USD 1.8 trillion, marking five consecutive years of growth. This year, Vietnam has 13 banks listed in the Banking 500 ranking, highlighting the strong development of the domestic banking sector. With this number, Vietnam ranks among the countries with the highest number of banks in the ranking, behind only major financial markets such as China, the United States, and Japan. Within this context, SACOMBANK’s continued presence and improving position over the years further affirm the competitiveness of Vietnamese banks in the international financial market.

This year’s ranking improvement also reflects SACOMBANK’s consistent efforts to strengthen its operational foundation, enhance business efficiency, and gradually refine its ecosystem of products and services to better meet the increasingly diverse needs of customers.

In 2025, the Bank achieved many positive results: total assets reached nearly VND 918 trillion, an increase of nearly 23% year-on-year; total mobilization (deposits) exceeded VND 837 trillion, up 24%; and total outstanding credit reached over VND 626 trillion, growing 16%. These results continue to affirm SACOMBANK’s position as a leading commercial bank.

In addition to strengthening its financial foundation, SACOMBANK has continuously upgraded its product and service offerings while pursuing comprehensive digitalization. SACOMBANK PAY, the Bank’s core digital financial platform, recorded customer growth of up to 30%, demonstrating the increasing appeal of its digital service ecosystem and the effectiveness of its multi-segment customer outreach strategies.

SACOMBANK has also implemented numerous initiatives to modernize and optimize its organizational structure. Specifically, the Bank has streamlined its operations down to 9 Business Blocks and is adjusting the front-to-back staff ratio toward an optimal 80:20 split. The Bank officially transitioned to a vertical industry-based operating model starting 22/01/2026, with the goal of improving operational efficiency, achieving sustainable and prudent growth, and maximizing benefits for shareholders, partners, and customers. Alongside the organizational restructuring process, SACOMBANK continues to maintain its advantage with an extensive network of more than 535 transaction points across Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia, along with 4 subsidiaries specializing in various financial sectors. Globally, SACOMBANK maintains relationships with 9,734 correspondent banks across 404 banks in 104 countries and territories, providing a strong foundation for international payments, trade finance, and cross-border transactions.

SACOMBANK’s continued presence and improving ranking in Brand Finance’s Banking 500 ranking not only reflects international recognition of SACOMBANK’s brand value, but also demonstrates growing market confidence in the Bank’s development strategy.

In the coming period, SACOMBANK aims to further accelerate digital transformation, improve product and service quality, and strengthen its governance foundation and financial capacity. The Bank is committed to pursuing safe, prudent, and sustainable growth while delivering maximum benefits to shareholders, customers, partners, and the community.
