Saigon Thuong Tin Commercial Joint Stock Bank (SCB) has lowered the Napas 247 fast-transfer limit for individual customers on Mobile Banking and Internet Banking to a maximum of 20 million VND per transaction, per working day, per customer, effective from 18h20 on 30/10/2026. SCB says the change aims to strengthen transaction safety and protect customer accounts from fraud and account takeover in e-banking. Customers who need to transfer above the limit are directed to contact a branch or transaction office directly. This is not the first change: the limit was cut from 200 million VND to 100 million VND in August 2024, then to 50 million VND from 23/8/2024, and to 10 million VND from 12/9/2024. A notice dated 6/12/2024 raised it again to 100 million VND per transaction, per day, per customer.

- Surprisingly 'ultra-low' deposit rates at SCB
Saigon Joint Stock Commercial Bank (SCB) has cut deposit rates across all terms, now listed at 0.01% to 1.18% a year depending on term. The article says SCB's 12-month rate is about 5% below state-owned banks and up to 7% below private banks. Other banks have also cut: SaigonBank has brought most terms below 7% a year, VPBank has lowered its 6–11-month rate to 6.6% for deposits under 10 billion dong, and Sacombank has reduced its 24–36-month rate from 7.8% to 7.3% a year for deposits of 500 million dong or more. The State Bank of Vietnam has asked banks to cut average deposit rates for new terms of 6 months or more by at least 0.5% a year in the final months of 2026, and to reduce lending rates by 1.5–2% a year for production, business and priority sectors.
- SCB cuts savings interest rates to nearly 0%
Saigon Commercial Bank (SCB) cut its deposit interest rates from October 26 by 1.5 to 3.2 percentage points, and now pays 0.5% a year for 6–11 month terms, 0.7% for 2–3 year terms, and 0.1% for terms under 6 months. The move came about a week after the State Bank of Vietnam asked banks to cut savings rates for terms of 6 months or more and lower lending rates. Since being placed under special control in mid-2022, SCB has typically received liquidity support from the State Bank and exemption from deposit insurance premiums, so it has less need to attract deposits with high rates, though it had once ranked among the highest-paying banks, such as 8.25% in 2022. SCB now has only 8 branches after 39 closed from mid-July, and it says handling collateral to recover bad debts is its top priority.

- Apple Pay and Google Pay launch in Uzbekistan amid wider fintech reforms
Apple Pay and Google Pay have launched in Uzbekistan following changes to personal data law and high-level talks with Google. Apple Pay supports Visa and Mastercard cards issued by eight local banks and institutions, while Google Pay covers cards from nine banks, and some banks support only Visa. The Central Bank says work is underway to extend the services to domestic Uzcard and HUMO cards, but no timetable has been set. The launch coincides with the National Fintech Strategy for 2026–2030, which aims to attract investment, develop cross-border payments and introduce Open Banking.
- Tencent, Visa deepen payments push in China after regulatory green light
Tencent and Visa said on Thursday they are expanding their partnership in cross-border payments and AI-powered commerce under a memorandum of understanding. The plans include easier payments for travelers entering and leaving China, merchant payments through Weixin Pay and Visa networks subject to regulatory requirements, and extending the collaboration to agentic commerce, where AI agents help consumers find and buy products. The move follows approvals this month for Visa to prepare a domestic bank card clearing business with the People's Bank of China, and for Citi to set up a wholly owned securities company in Shanghai, Citigroup Securities (China), which Citi announced last week. Tencent and Visa have cooperated since at least 2019.

- CME Group's Market Data Revenue Hit a Record $243 Million Last Quarter. Can It Carry the Stock When Trading Slows?
CME Group's third-quarter revenue rose 13% to $1.7 billion, mostly from transaction and clearing fees. Its market data business hit a record $243.1 million in the three months ending in September, accounting for about 14% of total revenue. The author argues data revenue is not yet large enough to offset weak trading periods, but it has been consistent and grows at a fairly predictable pace even when transaction and clearing fees fall. The article notes that CME's long-term growth trend has held through several market cycles, and the stock has recovered fairly quickly from setbacks despite being sensitive to surprises. The author concludes that taking a stake in CME may still be a reasonable choice even though data is not a game changer.

- Trump is going to get 'trounced' in the midterms — and knows it, Anthony Scaramucci tells CNBC
Former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci told CNBC that President Donald Trump will get 'trounced' in Tuesday's midterm elections and knows it. CNBC's All-America Economic Survey showed Trump's economic approval hit an all-time low last month, with 65% of respondents disapproving of his handling of the economy. Scaramucci said Trump has not delivered on promises of affordability, an end to 'forever wars' and transparency on the Epstein files, which he argued is pushing some within MAGA to break from him. Prediction markets price roughly a three-in-four chance that Democrats win Senate control, and Scaramucci expects a 'civil war' within the Republican Party. On Iran, he was 'bearish' about a diplomatic breakthrough after the vote, citing no alignment between Iran, Israel and the United States.
- German yields hover near August lows on tech rout
The German 10-year Bund yield was at 3.29%, its lowest level since August, as investors moved into core sovereign debt amid a global tech stock selloff and caution ahead of the U.S. midterm elections. The two-year Bund yield stood at 3.03%. The pressure followed Apple's warning that rising memory chip prices would squeeze margins through the holiday quarter. According to Reuters, major U.S. tech firms such as Alphabet and Oracle are increasingly tapping European investors to fund AI infrastructure, with Alphabet launching its second euro bond sale of the year and Oracle planning to raise $20 billion through bonds and shares. Strategists warn the surge in supply could crowd out European issuers and push borrowing costs higher.
- A Door Opens Slightly for US-Iran Peace Amid Blasts in the Strait of Hormuz
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said the Supreme Leader has given his government additional authority to pursue peace talks, without clarifying the scope of that power. U.S. President Donald Trump also hinted at progress in negotiations, and investors read the remarks as a sign a new round of conflict between Tehran and Washington could be averted through diplomacy. However, indirect contacts with the U.S., mediated by Qatar, to end the eight-month war have yet to produce a breakthrough. Iran said its seven-step plan, which Trump rejected in September, has been streamlined so it can be implemented within two days, though its core position is unchanged and nuclear talks will only follow once conditions are met. China also urged all parties to prioritize political solutions over force.
