- One bank's Q3 profit falls nearly 80%
As of 26 October, Q3 pre-tax profits of Saigonbank, KienlongBank, BAOVIET Bank and PGBank all declined year on year, with Saigonbank's falling nearly 80%. Saigonbank reported Q3 pre-tax profit of VND 17.8 billion and nine-month pre-tax profit of nearly VND 66 billion, down nearly 75%, mainly due to weaker services and foreign exchange trading and sharply higher operating costs. Its loans to customers stood at VND 21,754 billion as of 30/6/2026, slightly lower than at end-2025, while customer deposits fell to VND 25,171 billion. BAOVIET Bank's Q3 pre-tax profit fell 41% to VND 17 billion, KienlongBank's dropped 12.7% and PGBank's fell over 10%, although KienlongBank and PGBank still posted nine-month growth. Positive results in some business lines were not enough to offset the factors weighing on profits.
- US ready to strike Iran within 96 hours if President Trump gives the order
Sources say US forces in the Middle East are ready to launch new military operations against Iran, possibly on a large scale, within 96 hours of receiving orders from President Donald Trump. The operations could go well beyond earlier strikes that targeted radars, launchers and other Iranian assets that could be quickly restored. The target list reportedly includes energy infrastructure, military sites and nuclear facilities, and officials believe an order could come before year-end, most likely after the midterm elections. Intelligence assessments suggest Iran and the Houthis would likely retaliate against US personnel and facilities if Iran is attacked first. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reportedly pushed for new strikes, but US officials have asked him to delay.
- Wave of interest rate cuts is gaining momentum
Many banks continue to cut deposit rates and launch preferential lending packages worth tens of thousands of billions of dong, in response to the State Bank of Vietnam's directive to lower interest rate levels. VPBank cut deposit rates by a further 0.4 percentage points for 6–13 month terms, and online deposits under VND 10 billion for 6–11 months now earn 6.6% per year. Sacombank launched a VND 20,000 billion package for individual customers, cutting lending rates by 1.5–2 percentage points, after a VND 40,000 billion corporate program. MSB, VIB and VPBank also have packages of VND 10,000–15,000 billion, with lending rate reductions of 1.5–2 percentage points depending on conditions. Under Official Dispatch No. 9736/NHNN-CSTT dated 21/10/2026, banks must cut average deposit rates for new transactions of 6 months or more by at least 0.5% per year, and non-compliant banks could face penalties, including reduced credit growth targets.
- Ripple wins final US approval for national trust bank
Ripple has received final approval from the US Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) for Ripple National Trust Bank (RNTB), completing a chartering process that began with conditional approval in December 2025. The trust bank can manage reserves backing the RLUSD stablecoin, act as collateral trustee for RLUSD holders and provide digital asset custody, while RLUSD will continue to be issued by Standard Custody & Trust Company. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse said crypto and banks work better together. Circle secured final OCC approval in July, while Coinbase, Crypto.com and Bridge remain at the conditional approval stage. According to the OCC, most national trust banks do not accept deposits or make loans and do not carry FDIC insurance.

- Bank of Japan is expected to hold rates this week — but stay hawkish: CNBC survey
A CNBC survey of 16 economists and analysts found all expect the Bank of Japan to keep its policy rate at 1.25% at the end of its two-day meeting on Friday. Most expect a rate hike in December or January next year as domestic inflation and wages keep rising, with core inflation excluding fresh foods at 2.1% and inflation-adjusted wages up 1.5% from a year earlier. Some analysts see no clear sign inflation is accelerating enough to justify consecutive hikes, and say the policy board may lack consensus given the fragile domestic bond market. The 10-year JGB yield is expected to reach 3% to 3.1% by year-end, up from 2.809%, while the terminal rate is seen at 1.75% to 2% by around mid-2027.
