CUBHCM has been awarded the "Syndicated Loan of the Year - Vietnam Market" by Asian Banking & Finance’s Corporate & Investment Banking Awards 2026. This recognition follows CUBHCM's successful arrangement of a $1.563 billion sustainable syndicated loan for VPBank. The loan is specifically earmarked to finance green projects, support businesses led by women, and promote initiatives with positive social impact.

The credit facility for VPBank was initially launched at $1 billion. Due to strong market interest, the loan's size was increased to $1.563 billion, equivalent to over VND 41,000 billion. The loan attracted subscriptions exceeding 50%, reflecting market confidence. A bank representative stated that these funds will drive business development activities that create positive social change and help establish new standards for sustainable finance in Vietnam.
