Shinhan Financial Group is broadening its collaboration with Vietnam's Vingroup, moving from auto financing to capital markets. On September 17, executives from both companies discussed expanding their partnership at Shinhan Bank Vietnam's headquarters in Ho Chi Minh City. Vingroup, Vietnam's largest private company, has operations in real estate and electric vehicles.
While Shinhan Bank Vietnam has provided $100 million in auto loans for VinFast vehicles since 2024, the two groups are now exploring investment opportunities. Shinhan Securities Vietnam will arrange Vingroup's first Arirang bond, a Korean won-denominated bond, targeting issuance in the fourth quarter. The bond will be managed domestically by Shinhan Securities and invested in by Shinhan Securities itself, creating a connection between the two groups through cross-border capital markets.
This strategic move represents a shift from individual auto financing to corporate and investment banking services for Vingroup, with potential opportunities for Shinhan Financial Group in Vietnam and Korea's capital markets.
