- HDBank launches VND 10,000 billion credit package, cuts interest rates by 1.5% per year to support businesses
HDBank is rolling out a VND 10,000 billion credit package from October 20, 2026 until November 30, 2026 or until the quota is reached, in line with government and State Bank of Vietnam policy to cut lending rates. Rates are 1.5% per year lower than the current preferential SME rate, offered to existing and new eligible customers in sectors such as exports, agriculture, high technology and supporting industries. Loans are disbursed in VND for working capital with a maximum tenor of 3 months, at 8% per year for up to 2 months and 8.7% per year for over 2 to 3 months, and borrowers must have a credit rating of A or higher. The funds cannot be used for real estate, securities or financial business, or to deposit money or buy certificates of deposit or bonds at other credit institutions.
- Bank Staff Push Last-Minute Deposits Ahead of Interest Rate Cuts
Following a State Bank of Vietnam directive to lower deposit rates, staff at many banks are pushing customers to deposit funds at the last minute before rates fall. The central bank requires banks to cut deposit rates by at least 0.5 percentage point for terms of 6 months and longer, or face tighter credit growth targets. The highest listed rate for 6-12-month terms hit 8% in August, up 2.5 percentage points year on year, while a VnExpress survey found 6-month rates at 8.5-9.2% a year. Since the directive, 15 banks have announced new deposit rate schedules, mostly cutting by 0.5 percentage point to below 7% a year for terms of 6 months and above. Some analysts say rates are near their peak and could ease from early 2027, though a quick reversal is unlikely as credit demand tends to rise toward year-end.
- Banks cut costs to lower lending rates for priority sectors
State Bank of Vietnam Governor Phạm Đức Ấn chaired a meeting with credit institutions, urging them to cut interest rates to support businesses and help achieve double-digit economic growth targets. Under Official Dispatch No. 9608/NHNN-CSTT, banks must lower listed deposit rates by at least 0.5 percentage points a year for terms of six months or longer, and cut lending rates by 1.5-2 percentage points for production, business and priority sectors. As of the end of last week, mobilised funds rose 11.22% and credit grew 11.44%, while the gap between đồng loans and mobilised funds narrowed from nearly VND2 quadrillion (US$75.75 billion) to below VND1.5 quadrillion. The SBV strictly prohibits lowering credit standards and may cut credit growth quotas for the rest of 2026 and set lower quotas for 2027 for banks violating interest rate rules. Banks are also urged to tighten control over high-risk lending and to classify bad debts accurately.
- Heated meeting on interest rate cuts: what do bank leaders say?
At a meeting with the State Bank on the morning of Oct. 19, several banks committed to cutting costs and sharing profits to lower lending rates by at least 1.5–2%. Vietcombank plans credit packages with deeper rate cuts for priority sectors, BIDV will roll out a package of about 100,000 billion dong with terms up to six months and accept about 500 billion dong in lost income, and Sacombank has a preferential program of 40,000 billion dong. Bank leaders said the biggest challenge is keeping deposit rates attractive enough, so room to cut lending rates depends on the supply and demand for capital. Hiệp hội Ngân hàng's Đào Minh Tú said sustainable rate cuts require coordinated fiscal and monetary policy and the development of capital channels outside banks, such as corporate bonds and the stock market.
- Bank7 : 3 Key Takeaways for Long - Term Investors
On its Q3 2026 call on Oct. 15, 2026, Bank7 (BSVN) reported organic loan growth and progress on its pending acquisition of Century Financial. The deal would bring low-cost core deposits from New Mexico to support lending in Texas and Oklahoma, and management expects this to make its net interest margin easier to maintain. Lending in core markets offset more than $130 million of unscheduled loan payoffs during the quarter. Systems integration is targeted for a July 2027 conversion, with at least 75% or 80% of the cost savings expected in the first quarter.
- US bank stock longest losing streak since 2008 clashes with earnings picture
US bank stocks have posted their longest losing streak since the 2008 financial crisis, with the KBW Nasdaq Bank Index falling for six straight weeks and losing 11% since early September, even though the largest lenders JPMorgan Chase (JPM), Bank of America (BAC), Citigroup (C) and Wells Fargo (WFC) reported solid results. The four banks set aside $7.6 billion for credit provisions in the quarter, down about 3% from a year earlier, while actual loan losses fell 5% and lending grew nearly 10%. Credit managers are more worried, however: about 60% expect corporate defaults to rise over the next 12 months, and 85% expect wider spreads on North American junk bonds over the next three months, both sharply higher than in the prior survey. Morgan Stanley still calls bank credit conditions “benign” apart from isolated commercial weakness, while investors fear that persistently high interest rates could squeeze borrowers.

- UPS Yields 6.7% After Firing Amazon. Here's Whether the Dividend Survives 2027.
UPS shares yield 6.7% as of October 16. The company has moved away from high-volume, low-margin Amazon deliveries and froze its dividend earlier this year, ending a 16-year streak of increases. The article says the payout will likely remain frozen through 2026 and 2027, citing competition from 10- and 30-year Treasury yields above 5% and other industrial dividend payers, but calls the dividend's safety questionable: UPS generated $5.47 billion in free cash flow in 2025, with $5.4 billion going to dividends, and free cash flow is projected to fall to $5.05 billion in 2026 and $5.01 billion in 2027, with the dividend absorbing about 98% of 2026 free cash flow. Rising competition and high fuel prices add pressure, and the article suggests investors may find more safety in the industrial sector.

- What Could X-Energy (XE) Gain From Its 960MW Indiana Nuclear Project?
X-Energy (NasdaqGS:XE), American Electric Power and Amazon agreed to assess a 960 MW advanced nuclear project in Indiana using Xe-100 reactors, on a former coal plant site. Under the joint development agreement, Amazon would provide development funding and commit to a long-term power purchase. The article says the deal offers commercial validation for X-Energy's reactor platform rather than immediate financial relief, as the company, with a $4.3b market cap, reported $150.28 million in revenue, a $448.87 million loss, and a 20.2x price-to-sales ratio. The next key milestone is whether the study reaches a final investment decision for the Sullivan County site.
