18 Years of Providing Millions of Practical Financial Solutions

After 18 years of establishment and growth, the company has expanded its business network nationwide with 10 Branches, 26 Service Introduction Points, and a dedicated workforce of thousands of skilled employees and sales agents with excellent customer service. With this solid foundation, Shinhan Finance has met the personal financial support needs of millions of Vietnamese customers over nearly two decades.

Not only has Shinhan Finance strengthened its business network, but for many years, it has also continuously invested in digital transformation, diversified financial products, improved business processes, and enhanced service quality to provide customers with more convenient and secure experiences.

Shinhan Finance takes pride in its ability to serve the diverse financial needs of Vietnamese customers, ranging from small loans like installment purchases and cash loans for living needs of up to 300 million VND to auto loans of up to 10 billion VND. Additionally, with the consultation and support from its mother company, Shinhan Card—the leading credit card company in South Korea - Shinhan Finance has launched international credit card products in the Vietnamese market to cater to customers' varied shopping needs. Moreover, customers can conveniently and securely conduct various transactions anytime and anywhere on the iShinhan app, such as checking transaction history, paying outstanding balances, converting to installment payments, and many other convenient features.

Not only has Shinhan Finance become the top choice for customers seeking financial support, but it has also asserted its position in the Vietnamese market by becoming a reputable business partner, with an increasingly expanding network of strategic partners. Notable names include Mastercard, major e-wallets like MoMo, Zalopay, and VNPAY, the largest electronics retail brands in Vietnam, and distribution systems for two-wheels and cars such as Piaggio, Yamaha, THACO Group, and Ford nationwide.

The innovative and creative efforts of Shinhan Finance have been recognized through numerous prestigious awards both domestically and internationally. The company is also one of the few foreign-invested enterprises chosen by reputable organizations such as the Vietnam Banking Association (VNBA) and the Competition and Consumer Protection Authority (VCCA) to accompany them in communication activities regarding sustainable financial solutions and consumer rights protection in the country.

The Journey of Perseverance with the Mission of Bringing Compassionate Finance to the Community

Shinhan Finance has implemented numerous community-oriented programs, especially since officially operating under the Shinhan brand—a financial solution from South Korea.

Among these is the notable journey titled "The Library of Dreams," initiated in 2019. To date, Shinhan Finance has donated 64 bookcases, 24,625 children's books, and renovated 11 reading rooms for children in 11 libraries across provinces and cities nationwide. The program has inspired reading and encouraged the spirit of learning, expanding knowledge for the younger generation in Vietnam.

Every year, Shinhan Finance represents its mother company, Shinhan Card (South Korea), in sharing cultural values and supporting the community through the Good Hallyu Project implemented in Vietnam, donating thousands of health care kits and school supplies, as well as storybooks to students. Shinhan Finance is also one of the five active members of Shinhan Financial Group in Vietnam, participating in a series of charitable programs that embody the spirit of “One Shinhan” of the group.

Alongside investing in the development of knowledge for the younger generation, Shinhan Finance actively partners with the Red Cross to implement annual humanitarian blood donation programs in various provinces across the country. Over five years of continuous organization, the company's staff has contributed 885 units of blood (equivalent to 242,100 ml) to the community, providing hope for many patients.

In particular, during the nationwide solidarity against the Covid-19 pandemic, Shinhan Finance and all its employees made meaningful contributions to the Vaccine Fund and the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee with a total budget support of up to 1.2 billion VND.

Recently, in solidarity with the people in localities heavily affected by Typhoon Yagi, Shinhan Finance promptly provided a special package offering a 2% interest rate reduction on loans, helping customers in these areas to recover from the losses caused by the storm.

Sharing about the mission of compassionate finance, Mr. Chun Young ILL, General Director of Shinhan Finance Vietnam, affirmed: “The company will continue to innovate, create, and provide practical financial solutions to help customers enhance their quality of life, increase mutual cooperation with partners, spread humanitarian values to the community, and contribute to the stable and sustainable development of the Vietnamese market.”
