Citi Vietnam named Best Commercial Bank 2026 by The Asset Triple A

The recognition highlights the bank's robust Commercial Banking operations and its dedicated support for its global clients investing in Vietnam, as well as for Vietnamese mid-sized companies aiming for international expansion.

Launched in 2014, Citi Commercial Bank (CCB) in Vietnam focuses on providing global banking solutions to mid-sized companies. The division was established to capitalise on increasing foreign direct investment into Vietnam and to support the international growth of local mid-sized corporates.

Today, Citi Vietnam’s commercial client portfolio includes Vietnamese commercial subsidiaries of CCB's global clients and local corporations in the Digital, Technology, and Communications (DT&C) sectors.

Tien Phung, Citi Vietnam’s commercial banking head said, "We are honoured to receive this recognition from The Asset, which reflects the strength of our Commercial Banking franchise in Vietnam and the trust our clients place in us. As our clients continue to grow and expand across borders, we remain committed to supporting them with Citi’s global network, deep sector expertise and bespoke banking solutions."

Citi employs a "Commercial Subsidiaries Group Operating Model" to serve the Vietnamese subsidiaries of its global clients. Additionally, a specialised coverage team works closely with Investment Bank experts to provide Vietnamese technology-focused clients with support for fundraising and cross-border growth opportunities, reinforcing Vietnam's position as an emerging hub for IT and software innovation.
