Long-term commitment rooted in Vietnam
UOB Vietnam’s continued recognition among the country’s top foreign-invested enterprises reflects the bank’s long-term commitment to Vietnam and its role in supporting both clients and the broader economy.
According to Dinh Duc Quang, Vietnam remains a key market in UOB’s ASEAN growth strategy. With more than 30 years of presence in the country, the bank continues to invest for the long term to support trade and contribute to Vietnam’s economic development.
“This award serves as strong motivation for UOB Vietnam to build on our strengths, enhance service excellence, and partner more effectively with our customers,” Quang said.

As Vietnam’s economy has become increasingly integrated into regional and global supply chains, UOB has continued expanding its local presence and capabilities.
In 2025, the bank completed its third charter capital increase since 2021, raising UOB Vietnam’s charter capital to VND10 trillion (US$379.565 million) and making it one of the largest foreign-owned banks by capital in the Vietnamese market.
The same year, UOB announced plans to invest in a new headquarters, UOB Plaza, within Ho Chi Minh City’s International Financial Center. Scheduled for completion within five years, the project is intended to support the bank’s expanding operations and growing workforce, while reflecting UOB’s confidence in Vietnam’s long-term growth prospects.
Leveraging ASEAN connectivity and digital capabilities
Beyond providing banking services, UOB also plays an active role in connecting foreign enterprises with opportunities in Vietnam, contributing to trade, investment, and sustainable economic growth.
One of the bank’s key strengths lies in its ASEAN network and its ability to support clients with cross-border operations.
As Vietnam continues benefiting from global supply chain diversification and strong FDI inflows, UOB has leveraged its regional connectivity to facilitate cross-border capital, trade, and investment flows. The bank currently operates 11 Foreign Direct Investment Advisory (FDIA) centers across Asia, helping investors access market opportunities, business partners, and regulatory insights.
In Vietnam, UOB established its FDIA Centre in 2013. Over the past five years, the center has supported more than 400 companies entering the Vietnamese market, facilitating over S$9 billion (US$7.069 billion) in pledged investments and contributing to the creation of approximately 60,000 jobs.
In addition to financing, UOB supports clients in navigating regulatory procedures, building partnerships, and implementing regional business strategies through cooperation with business associations and investment promotion agencies.
In 2024, the bank signed a memorandum of understanding with the Ho Chi Minh City Investment and Trade Promotion Centre to attract high-quality FDI into Ho Chi Minh City and southern Vietnam, particularly in sectors such as high technology, green growth, sustainable development, infrastructure, digital transformation, and healthcare.
The partnership aligns with the city’s ambition to develop into an international financial center in accordance with government policy.
