VIB raises 1 billion from international markets in record funding plan
Vietnam International Bank is raising approximately 1 billion in medium and long term funding from international capital markets in 2026 marking the largest international funding plan in the bank s history
VIB successfully raised $285 million from international markets, marking a milestone in its plan to accumulate $1 billion in medium and long-term funding by 2026. The transaction, completed in a three-year syndicated loan, was orchestrated by nine financial institutions in Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. United Overseas Bank (UOB), Maybank Securities, and Cathay United Bank led the syndicate as Mandated Lead Arrangers and Bookrunners, supplemented by five additional international financial institutions.
The loan has been disbursed in three tranches throughout 2026, offering VIB medium-term funding at a competitive cost, 30 basis points lower than VIB's previous syndicated loan. This development enhances VIB's funding resilience, optimizes its cost structure, and bolsters its ability to manage funding efficiently in response to evolving market dynamics.
The transaction brings together seven seasoned partners from previous loans and introduces two new partners, underlining VIB's enduring relationships with trusted partners and its capacity to access global capital markets, even amidst market volatility.
