Vietnam insurance market developments

Overview

The Vietnamese insurance market continues to see significant expansion as banks deepen their involvement through capital increases and new subsidiaries. Following the establishment of ACB Insurance Co., Ltd. with 500 billion VND in charter capital, other major institutions are scaling their operations.

VPBank is preparing to launch VPLife, a life insurance subsidiary with an expected charter capital of 2,000 billion VND, slated for operation in the first quarter of 2027. Its non-life insurance arm, OPES, has also increased its charter capital to 2,451 billion VND. Similarly, Techcombank is expanding its footprint; following the 2024 establishment of Techcom Non-Life Insurance, the bank plans to launch Techcom Life in 2025, with intentions to increase its investment in the entity to a total charter capital of 4,300 billion VND.

Strategic partnerships also remain a key driver for distribution. BVBank has signed an agreement with FWD Vietnam to distribute life insurance products through its retail banking network, aiming to enhance its financial ecosystem. These developments build upon the existing trend of bancassurance, which accounted for 44.9% of new premium revenue in the first half of 2026.
