This product has attracted over 21,000 customers and achieved outstanding loans of VND 1,087 billion by the end of 2024.

Notably, the SeAPower Women Entrepreneurs Club provides a comprehensive ecosystem of training, networking, digital transformation, and healthcare, contributing to a 140% increase in the number of women-owned customers at SeABank and a 115% increase in outstanding loans by the end of June 2025.

This dual achievement affirms the Bank's commitment to creating equal, happy, and humane value for its employees, customers, and the community, in line with its vision of "Putting people and the community first."

Established in 1994, SeABank is one of the leading joint-stock commercial banks in Vietnam with nearly 4 million customers, over 5,300 employees, and 181 transaction points nationwide.
