On June 18, 2025, BIDV – SuMi TRUST Finance Leasing Company (BSL) signed its fourth syndicated loan agreement with foreign partner banks, with E.SUN Bank – Dong Nai branch acting as the lead bank. This agreement reaffirms BSL’s position as a reputable financial leasing unit in Vietnam in the eyes of international financial institutions. This event not only marks a continuation of BSL’s financial collaboration but also acknowledges the first-time participation of a new member in the financing group.

BSL signs the Syndicated Loan Agreement with E.SUN Commercial Bank, First Commercial Bank, HuaNan Commercial Bank, The Shanghai Commercial & Savings Bank, and Mega International Commercial Bank.

Participating in this syndicated loan are 5 banks: E.SUN Bank – Dong Nai branch, First Commercial Bank – Ho Chi Minh City branch, The Shanghai Commercial & Savings Bank – Dong Nai branch, Mega International Commercial Bank – Ho Chi Minh City branch, and notably, HuaNan Commercial Bank – Ho Chi Minh City branch, which is joining BSL for the first time in this syndicated loan framework. The signing ceremony was held solemnly at BSL’s Hanoi office, marking an important milestone in BSL’s efforts to expand and develop financial partnerships.

This is the fourth consecutive year that E.SUN Bank has taken on the role of the lead bank arranging the syndicated loan between BSL and foreign banks. This is a clear testament to BSL’s sustainable reliability, stable financial capacity, and transparency in operations that the company has worked hard to build over the years.

Notably, HuaNan Commercial Bank is participating in the syndicated loan for the first time, reflecting positive recognition from the regional financial community regarding BSL’s operational model and development potential, while also opening up opportunities for deeper collaboration in the future. This expansion of cooperation not only helps BSL enhance its access to capital under competitive conditions but also serves as a foundation for the company to boost its financial leasing activities.

At the event, Mr. Nguyen Thieu Son – CEO of BSL shared: “We value the partnership and trust of our international banking partners over the years. This fourth syndicated loan not only strengthens BSL’s financial resources but also motivates us to continue our mission of supporting Vietnamese enterprises on the path to sustainable development.”

This syndicated loan continues to play an important role in enhancing BSL’s financial capacity and flexibility, especially in the context of significant fluctuations in the international financial market. The expansion of the scale and number of banks participating in the syndicated loan not only helps BSL effectively meet the funding needs for financial leasing for domestic enterprises but also reinforces BSL’s commitment to sustainable development: closely connecting with international partners, enhancing financial capacity, and supporting the growth of Vietnamese businesses.
