Overview

HDBank, formally Ho Chi Minh City Development Joint Stock Commercial Bank, is a commercial bank in Vietnam. It was established on February 11, 1989, initially under the name Ho Chi Minh City Housing Development Joint Stock Commercial Bank. The supplied Vietnamese Wikipedia entry describes its original workforce as approximately 50 people and its initial charter capital as 3 billion Vietnamese đồng. In 2011, the bank adopted its current name, dropping “Housing” from the former name. The bank serves individual and business customers. Its official website presents personal accounts, savings, cards, loyalty rewards and fee-related offers, alongside business products and services. The listed business offerings include online credit, online foreign-currency sales through Internet Banking, and commodity-price derivatives. The latter include futures, options and swaps intended to hedge against commodity-price fluctuations. HDBank is headquartered at 25 Nguyễn Thị Minh Khai Street in Ho Chi Minh City. It is a publicly listed bank: the supplied source reports that nearly 981 million HDB shares began trading on the Ho Chi Minh City Stock Exchange on January 5, 2018. The available evidence does not identify a parent company or controlling owner. The source lists Kim Byoung-ho as chairman and Nguyễn Hữu Đặng as general director, but does not establish whether these roles remain current.

History

HDBank was established on February 11, 1989, as Ho Chi Minh City Housing Development Joint Stock Commercial Bank. The supplied Vietnamese-language account describes an initial organization of about 50 employees and initial charter capital of 3 billion Vietnamese đồng. These details mark its origins as a locally named joint-stock bank; the available evidence does not identify an individual founder. A later capital increase was completed on December 28, 2010, with approval from the State Bank of Vietnam. The account states that charter capital rose from 1,550 billion to 3,000 billion Vietnamese đồng. In 2011, HDBank launched a new brand identity and changed its name to Ho Chi Minh City Development Joint Stock Commercial Bank, the name reflected in its present English and Vietnamese identities. On September 28, 2013, HDBank held a shareholders’ meeting to approve the merger of Dai A Joint Stock Commercial Bank (DaiABank) into HDBank. The supplied excerpt records the approval meeting but does not provide further details about the merger’s completion or terms. A major capital-markets milestone followed on January 5, 2018, when nearly 981 million HDBank shares began trading on the Ho Chi Minh City Stock Exchange (HoSE). The supplied account also records national and institutional recognitions, including a second-class Labour Order in 2018, further honours in 2020 and a National Brand designation in 2024. These are reported as recognitions rather than as details of the bank’s operating performance. Today, the bank’s official website presents products for individuals and businesses. Consumer-facing offerings include accounts, savings, cards and loyalty rewards. Business services shown include online credit, online foreign-currency sales through Internet Banking, and commodity-price derivatives such as futures, options and swaps for hedging price movements. The evidence establishes these as offerings presented by the bank but does not provide launch dates for them. It also does not establish the bank’s current ownership or confirm whether the leadership names in the supplied account remain in office.
