The Joint Stock Commercial Bank for Investment and Development of Vietnam (BIDV – Code: BID), the largest bank in the system in terms of assets, outstanding loans, and customer deposits, has recently announced the payment of cash dividends for 2024 to its shareholders.
Accordingly, the bank will finalize the shareholder list on October 15, 2025, to distribute a cash dividend at a rate of 4.5%, meaning each shareholder holding one share will receive 450 VND. The payment is scheduled for November 14, 2025.
With over 7.021 billion outstanding shares, BIDV is expected to allocate more than 3,159 billion VND for cash dividend payments to shareholders.
This marks the first time in nearly four years that BIDV has paid cash dividends to shareholders. Most recently, in late 2021, the bank finalized the shareholder list to distribute a 2% cash dividend for 2020.
In addition to cash dividends, BIDV also plans to issue stock dividends and bonuses to shareholders. At the 2025 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, BIDV approved the issuance of up to 498.5 million bonus shares (equivalent to 7.1% of outstanding shares as of March 31, 2025) to increase capital from the supplementary reserve fund. Simultaneously, the bank will issue up to nearly 1,397.3 million shares as dividends from undistributed accumulated profits in 2023 (equivalent to a 19.9% implementation rate of outstanding shares as of March 31, 2025).
