Non-interest income rose sharply to VND5.37 trillion (US$204.1 million), up 178.6% YoY, driven by income diversification and digitalisation.

HDBank will seek shareholder approval for a 30% total dividend and bonus share distribution for 2025, including a 25% stock dividend and 5% bonus shares, reaffirming its commitment to high and stable shareholder returns.

Following the amended Decree 69, the bank's foreign ownership limit has been lifted to 49%, improving its ability to attract international investors and enhance stock liquidity.

During General Secretary Tô Lâm's official visit to the United Kingdom, the London Stock Exchange discussed a Memorandum of Understanding with HDBank to promote potential listings, international capital mobilisation and access to global investors.

With outstanding profitability, an attractive dividend policy, and a clear strategy for digitalisation and international integration, HDBank is well positioned to sustain double-digit growth, reinforcing its position among the most high-performing and profitable banks in Vietnam.
