Agribank was named among the Top 10 Most Reputable Commercial Banks in Vietnam in 2025 at the recent Vietnam CEO Summit jointly organized by Vietnam Report and VietNamNet newspaper.

The recognition marks an important milestone affirming the wholly state-owned bank's strength and leading position in the financial and banking sector.

This honor is the result of a comprehensive evaluation based on three key criteria: financial strength, media reputation, and stakeholder feedback.

Agribank’s prominent placement highlights its robust financial base, sustained growth, and forward-looking approach to innovation and development.

Speaking at the event, the Organizing Committee emphasized that over more than 37 years of development, Agribank has consistently played a pioneering role in implementing monetary policy, stabilizing the macro-economy, curbing inflation, and making outstanding contributions to the agriculture-farmers-rural areas (the “Tam Nong” sector).

Agribank is currently the largest state-owned commercial bank in terms of network coverage, with over 2,200 branches and transaction offices nationwide. A

Its total assets exceed VND2,300 trillion ($87.11 billion), and loans to the “Tam Nong” sector account for approximately 65% of its total credit portfolio - clearly demonstrating a development strategy aligned with the mission of serving the national economy.

In addition to its financial strength, Agribank has also made significant strides in digital transformation through modern products and services such as Agribank Plus and Agribank Digital, as well as breakthrough technological solutions such as CASS+ (Credit Approval Streamlining Solution Plus).

At the same time, the bank actively promotes Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) practices by implementing green credit programs, supporting high-tech agriculture, and providing financing for businesses in remote areas - contributing to Vietnam’s commitment to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.

In 2025, Agribank continues to affirm its position as a leading commercial bank through a series of prestigious domestic and international recognitions.

The lender has been honored with the “Vietnam Domestic Foreign Exchange Bank of the Year” award by Asian Banking & Finance (ABF).

The bank is listed among the Top 100 Largest Enterprises in Southeast Asia in 2025. Notably, it is the only bank recognized at the “Vietnam Glory 2025” program – a testament to its exceptional contributions to the country’s socio-economic development.

In the field of digital transformation, Agribank is named among the Top Digital Transformation Enterprises and earns dual honors at the 4th Vietnam Industrie 4.0 Awards.

Demonstrating its technology and service excellence, six of Agribank’s digital products have been awarded the 2025 Sao Khue Award.

These series of awards and high-profile rankings serve as strong testament to Agribank’s brand reputation and expanding reach.

They also provide vital momentum for the bank to continue affirming its mission as a community-oriented bank, constantly innovating and improving service quality - worthy of the trust and support of millions of customers nationwide.
