Vietnam – A Global FDI Magnet
Amidst the shifting global economic landscape, Vietnam has emerged as a secure and efficient destination for foreign direct investment (FDI). Its strategic location at the heart of the Asia-Pacific region, intersecting major transportation routes, positions it as a prime hub for international capital.
According to the General Statistics Office (Ministry of Finance), in the first seven months of 2025, realized FDI surpassed $13 billion, with numerous large-scale projects. New registered projects increased by 15.2% compared to the same period last year, attracting investors from Singapore, China, Sweden, Japan, and Taiwan, among others.

Vietnam’s FDI appeal stems from its competitive labor costs and a young, skilled workforce, meeting the demands of global production chains. Additionally, upgrades in logistics, transportation, and energy infrastructure, coupled with the government’s push for digital transformation and a modern, transparent administrative system, further bolster stable FDI growth.
A Comprehensive Financial Ecosystem – Launchpad for FDI Enterprises
The surge in international capital demands a synchronized financial ecosystem tailored to FDI enterprises. Alongside government investment reforms, commercial banks play a pivotal role in channeling foreign capital into the economy.
Notably, Southeast Asia Commercial Joint Stock Bank (SeABank) has implemented specialized solutions and optimized services, enabling FDI enterprises to streamline capital, manage cash flow efficiently, reduce operational costs, and enhance competitiveness. SeABank’s integrated credit and non-credit approach empowers businesses with comprehensive financial management, ensuring stable operations and growth.
In credit services, SeABank offers flexible collateral policies to maximize client capital needs, financing up to 100% of asset value (depending on asset type). Businesses can access credit through export contracts, letters of credit (LC), or receivables from parent companies. Attractive policies include overdraft limits up to 1 billion VND, fee waivers for overdraft accounts, and priority access to preferential interest rates, optimizing capital and fostering sustainable business operations.
Beyond credit, SeABank provides non-credit financial benefits, helping FDI enterprises minimize costs and manage cash flow effectively. These include waivers for domestic payment services, payroll services, and account opening support. FDI businesses also benefit from SeABank’s advanced digital banking platforms (SeANet/SeAMobile Biz, SMS Banking, Email Banking), ensuring secure, transparent, and cost-free transactions.
Furthermore, SeABank issues corporate debit/credit cards with long-term fee waivers (up to 5 years). The bank also offers up to 100% waivers on international transfer fees and 50% reductions on trade finance and guarantee services.
SeABank’s competitive deposit interest rates help businesses optimize idle capital, enhancing resilience in a volatile global economy.

Expanding Connections, Sustaining FDI Partnerships
Beyond financial solutions, SeABank extends support to FDI enterprises through non-financial programs.
Highlighting this, the bank launched a Referral Partner Program (RPP) to expand its FDI client network. With transparent commissions, partners earn up to 15 million VND per successful referral (unlimited) and a 5 million VND loyalty bonus for consistently referring 3 FDI clients monthly over 3 months. This flexible approach benefits both SeABank and its partners.
