Vietnamese banking support for businesses

Overview

In late August 2026, twelve commercial banks in Vietnam registered to participate in a credit program totaling approximately 408 trillion VND. This initiative, following a directive from the State Bank of Vietnam, aims to support small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and economic growth drivers through preferential interest rates and improved capital access.

By late September, individual institutions began implementing specific support measures. VietinBank launched its 2026 Payment Service Package to help businesses optimize operational costs and manage cash flow. The bank offers six distinct service packages tailored to various business models, including newly established enterprises, expanding businesses, manufacturing firms, FDI companies, and those focused on capital investment. These packages provide up to 100% fee waivers on essential services such as account maintenance, domestic VND transfers, foreign currency transfers, and online transactions via the VietinBank eFAST digital banking platform or ERP connections.

Concurrently, VietinBank introduced a major credit program totaling 50 trillion VND to specifically assist SMEs. This program offers interest rates 1% lower than standard rates for the same term. To address financing bottlenecks, the bank has implemented fast-track loan processing and extended credit limit maintenance periods from 12 to 24 months. Furthermore, the bank is offering more flexible collateral policies, allowing the use of highly liquid assets, real estate from contributing members, or new company vehicles to facilitate easier access to affordable capital.
