- Revealed: the private banks with the highest profits in the first nine months of 2026
As of the morning of 28 October, 15 banks had reported their first-nine-month 2026 results. VPBank led with pre-tax profit of nearly 30,000 billion VND, up nearly 47% year on year, driven by credit growth and stronger non-interest income. Techcombank ranked second with 28,900 billion VND, up 23.7%, while ACB reported 16,600 billion VND, up more than 3%. SHB posted a preliminary 14,300 billion VND (up 17%) and LPBank 10,421 billion VND (up nearly 9%), so five banks in the group of 15 have pre-tax profit above 10,000 billion VND. At the other end, Sacombank recorded 5,893 billion VND, down 46.4% from a year earlier.
- Sacombank's workforce size and employee income: current situation
Sacombank's headcount fell sharply in the first nine months of 2026: group employees totaled 12,553 at September 30, 2026, down 4,263 (25.4%) from end-2025, while the parent bank's headcount fell 27.1%. Employee costs for the nine months were about VND 5,108 billion, down 17.3% year on year, while average cost per employee rose 22.8% to VND 45.2 million per month from VND 36.8 million a year earlier. Third-quarter 2026 pre-tax profit fell 52% to VND 1,757 billion and after-tax profit fell 53.6% to VND 1,347 billion, mainly due to a sharp rise in credit risk provisions and lower net interest income. Non-performing loans rose to VND 51,367 billion, or 7.33% of total loans, from about 6.41% at the start of the year. The bank also changed its legal name, moved its head office and replaced its CEO during 2026.
- BVBank Becomes First Bank to Surpass Its 2026 Full-Year Profit Plan After Just 9 Months
BVBank posted pre-tax profit of over 825 billion dong in the first nine months of 2026, up 90% year on year and reaching 118% of its full-year target of 700 billion dong, making it the first bank in the system to complete its 2026 profit plan. The growth came mainly from net interest income of over 2,600 billion dong (up 40%) and total operating income of over 2,800 billion dong (up 36%), while the cost-to-income ratio (CIR) fell 5.8 percentage points. As of September 30, 2026, total assets exceeded 145,200 billion dong, up 9.2% from the start of the year, and outstanding loans reached over 85,540 billion dong, up 9.3%. In the third quarter, the bank rolled out preferential credit packages worth over 5,500 billion dong with interest rate cuts of 1% to 1.5% per year, and is completing a plan to raise charter capital to nearly 10,000 billion dong.
- A Major Surprise at Sacombank
Sacombank (STB) became the fifth private bank to surpass 1 million billion VND in total assets, reaching about 1.057 million billion VND as of 30/9/2026. Third-quarter pre-tax profit fell 52% to 1,757 billion VND, mainly because credit risk provisioning expenses surged to 5,729 billion VND, about 5.5 times the year-earlier level, while net interest income dropped 33.6%. Net service income rose sharply to 4,255 billion VND, partly offsetting that decline. Bad debt rose to 51,367 billion VND, or about 7.33% of total outstanding loans, up from about 6.41% at the start of the year. For the first nine months, after-tax profit reached 4,278 billion VND, down about 50.8%.

- Bithumb hacked through employee system as South Korean financial firms face cyberattacks
South Korean crypto exchange Bithumb said an outsider breached an internal employee mobile system used for work and messaging, and personal information was stolen, though no cryptocurrency funds have been reported lost. The exchange says the system is separate from its trading platform, but has not disclosed how many people were affected or whether deposits and withdrawals were disrupted. The breach comes amid cyberattacks on South Korean financial firms: the Financial Supervisory Service said 16 firms had been hit as of Oct. 14, and Daishin Securities reported a leak affecting 38,490 customers. It is Bithumb's second control lapse this year, after it mistakenly credited customers with 620,000 BTC, worth more than $40 billion at the time, instead of 620,000 won in February.
- Anthropic's First-Half Revenue Rose 1,300%. Should You Buy the Stock When It Starts Trading?
Anthropic publicly filed for its IPO, planning to list on Nasdaq as 'ANT', with first-half 2026 sales of $16.3 billion, up 1,300% from $1.2 billion a year earlier. The filing leaves the price range, share count and third-quarter revenue blank, while media reports say the company is seeking a $1.5 trillion to $2 trillion valuation, against the $965 billion valuation at its $65 billion raise in May. Second-quarter operating income was $974 million, an 8% margin and the only profitable quarter shown, although the first-half net loss of $80.7 billion included a $72.4 billion non-cash charge tied to the rising valuation. The author sees strong growth but argues that a $1.5–2 trillion valuation, about 43 to 57 times sales, already assumes years of expansion, and that a price nearer the May valuation would make the stock worth a look.

- After million-dollar concerts, what bigger gain has VPBank pocketed than millions of engagements?
The article says VPBank created a range of perks around the two BIGBANG Hanoi nights at Mỹ Đình on 24–25 October, which drew nearly 90,000 attendees, including soundcheck and meet-and-greet access, an official pop-up store at VPBank's 89 Láng Hạ flagship, and free shuttle buses. According to YouNet Media, VPBank K-Star Spark 2025 recorded more than 29 million social media interactions.

- National Assembly debates Securities Law amendments this morning; a provision on securities company leadership draws attention
On the morning of 28 October, the National Assembly debated a draft law amending several articles of the Securities Law, focusing on the standards for legal representatives of securities companies and fund management companies. Delegate Tô Ái Vang argued that requiring the Chairman of the Board of Directors to hold a professional practice certificate confuses strategic oversight with operational roles, and proposed that this requirement apply only to the General Director (or Director) and deputy general directors in charge of professional operations. Delegates Bùi Xuân Hải, Đỗ Đức Hiển and Nguyễn Thị Yến Nhi objected to the draft dropping the condition that individuals sanctioned for administrative violations in the securities sector within the past 6 months cannot become General Director, and jointly proposed retaining it.
