In 2024 VietinBank reported a 12% rise in debit card spend and a 7% increase in active digital users after rolling co-branded offers with 150 partners, boosting share-of-wallet for retail customers.

Its ERP integration (SAP, Oracle) streamlines reconciliations, making it critical for large enterprises’ cash operations.

These clients demand high-volume credit, advanced cash management, and international syndication; VietinBank’s 64%-plus state ownership and government ties help secure and retain these high-value relationships.

Retail ~12m clients (2024); retail deposits +18% YoY. SMEs = 38% corp lending (~VND 470T / ~USD18.5bn, 2025); VNĐ12.3T preferential SME loans (2025).

Operating VietinBank’s nationwide network of ~1,200 branches and ~6,500 ATMs (2025) drives major fixed costs: rent, utilities, security, and upkeep, which in 2024 accounted for roughly 18–22% of non-interest operating expenses per the bank’s disclosures.

Cash logistics and physical document handling add variable costs—armored transport, vaulting, and paper processing—estimated at ~3–5% of operating expenses, even as branch footprint optimization reduces some overhead.

VietinBank earns significant fee income from FX services for import-export clients, supporting a 2024 trade finance portfolio worth about VND 550 trillion (≈ US$22.5bn); FX conversion and transaction fees contributed roughly 9–11% of noninterest income in 2024.

The bank also runs proprietary forex and gold trading desks, using market intel to target trading profits—these profits vary with FX volatility and global trade volumes, which fell 1.8% in 2024, increasing revenue sensitivity.

VietinBank’s revenue mix is led by net interest income (VND 46.8T, 68% of operating income, NIM 2.75% in 2024), plus fees/commissions VND 8.92T (2024) driven by payments, FX/trade finance (portfolio ~VND 550T), bancassurance (digital sales +35% by end-2025) and investment income VND 12.3T (2024).
