Previously, VPBank's General Meeting of Shareholders in April 2023 approved the payment of cash dividends at a rate of 10%, with the expected payment amount being VND 7,933 billion.

In addition to the amount spent on dividends, VPBank retains VND 7,355 billion in profits to serve the bank's business operations.

According to VPBank Chairman Ngo Chi Dung, in the 5-year strategy for 2022 - 2026, the bank aims to pay cash dividends for 5 consecutive years. With the existing foundation, VPBank will strive to maintain high growth and allocate 30% of annual profits to distribute cash to shareholders.
