According to the organizers, these awards highlight Cathay United Bank Ho Chi Minh City (CUBHCM)'s capability in structuring, arranging, and distributing large-scale financial solutions. They also underscore the bank's growing role in the sustainable finance sector.

The "best syndicated loan (securities)" award acknowledged CUBHCM's pivotal role in a 230 million USD (5,900 billion VND) syndicated loan for Techcom Securities Joint Stock Company (Techcom Securities). This transaction demonstrates the bank's ability to structure and arrange large-scale loans for Vietnam's securities sector.

In 2025, CUBHCM was a Mandated Lead Arranger and Underwriter (MLAU) for a green loan valued at 1.56 billion USD. This deal set several milestones, including being one of the largest ESG loans in the Asia-Pacific region for a Vietnamese bank and the largest syndicated loan for a Vietnamese financial institution, involving 44 international lending organizations.

Previously, in 2025, CUBHCM achieved the top position in Vietnam's credit underwriting rankings across all currencies, with a total credit value of 617 million USD. This accomplishment reinforced the bank's standing in the capital and syndicated loan markets.

The awards are founded on CUBHCM's regional network, its ability to execute transactions quickly, its expertise in ESG financial structuring, and its capacity for cross-border liquidity access. In Vietnam, CUBHCM participated in over half of the 24 syndicated loan transactions in 2025, solidifying its role as a key coordinator in the market.

During 2025, CUBHCM assumed numerous key roles, including Mandated Lead Arranger (MLA), Mandated Lead Arranger and Bookrunner (MLAB), and Mandated Lead Arranger, Underwriter, and Bookrunner (MLAUB). The branch participated in 15 syndicated and club loan transactions, totaling over 3.5 billion USD.

Amid global trade and supply chain restructuring, the demand for financial partners with international networks and sustainable solutions is increasing. Cathay United Bank (CUB) currently operates over 67 locations across 11 markets, enhancing its presence in the ASEAN region through branches and representative offices in Singapore, Vietnam, and Malaysia, while maintaining operations in Trung Quoc and Hong Kong.

The bank continues to expand its capabilities in areas such as cross-border lending, structured finance, and project finance, aiming to provide flexible financial solutions for businesses.

CUB is a member of Cathay Financial Holdings (Cathay FHC), one of Asia's largest financial groups, operating 969 branches and managing total assets exceeding 400 billion USD. Having entered the Vietnamese market in 2005, the bank has steadily built a stable presence, aspiring to be a long-term financial partner for domestic and regional enterprises.
