After a year without issuing new shares to boost capital, VPBank relinquished its position as the largest bank by charter capital to Vietcombank. The top four banks – Vietcombank, MB, VPBank and VietinBank – together hold more charter capital than the combined total of the bottom 10 banks. Many commercial banks have already outlined plans to further increase charter capital in 2026, including some that raised capital in 2025. Upon completion, its charter capital is expected to reach VND11.495 trillion (US$460 million), up more than VND3.331 trillion (US$133 million). The race to increase charter capital reflects banks’ efforts to support business expansion and allocate resources across operations.
