As the global economy shifts towards green growth, sustainable development has become a core focus for many financial institutions worldwide. In Vietnam, Sacombank stands out as a pioneer in implementing this strategy. Recently, the bank launched its Green Finance Package (Sacombank Eco), a comprehensive financial solution that allows customers to optimize their benefits while contributing to environmental protection efforts.
From Personal Finance to Sustainable Development
Designed for individual customers, particularly the environmentally conscious Gen Y and Gen Z, the Green Finance Package offers a fresh approach. It transforms everyday financial activities into tangible actions for the environment through four key products: Green Deposits, Visa O₂ Credit Card, Green Sector Loans, Health Insurance, and the Green Living Fund.
A standout feature is the Green Living Fund, which accumulates rewards earned by customers when using the package’s products. These funds can be converted into carbon credits or directed toward environmental projects such as reforestation, renewable energy, and energy conservation. Periodically, 70% of the fund is automatically converted, while customers can choose specific projects to support via Sacombank Pay.
After conversion, customers receive an electronic certificate from Gold Standard, an international organization evaluating greenhouse gas reduction projects. This certificate confirms the amount of CO₂ offset, equivalent to the number of trees planted and nurtured over 10 years. Integrated into the Sacombank Pay app, all transactions, CO₂ emissions, rewards, and contributions are transparently displayed, enabling customers to track their carbon footprint and environmental impact.
With Green Deposits, customers can contribute to the green journey by simply making a term deposit of 1 to 6 months. Monthly, Sacombank rewards 5% of the total interest earned into the customer’s Green Living Fund. Thus, each savings account not only generates profit but also helps offset emissions, creating a positive community impact.
The Visa O₂ Credit Card promotes smart and responsible spending. Each transaction displays the corresponding CO₂ emissions on the Sacombank Pay app, helping customers monitor their carbon footprint. If emissions are below the market average, customers earn 20,000 VND for each positive deviation point, further contributing to the Green Living Fund. This transforms daily spending into meaningful environmental actions.
For Green Sector Loans, the bank offers preferential interest rates for purchasing VinFast electric vehicles or investing in eco-friendly sectors like renewable energy, clean agriculture, and energy efficiency. This initiative aims to promote green consumption and support a sustainable economic transition.
Health insurance is also integrated into the Sacombank Eco ecosystem, enhancing the green and healthy living journey. When customers purchase K-Care or Global 24/7 Health Insurance, Sacombank contributes 1,000 VND for every 1 million VND of the first-year premium to the Green Living Fund. This product not only safeguards personal health but also promotes the message of “living healthy to live green,” as a healthy community is essential for sustainable development.
Green Finance: A Key ESG Trend
According to Sacombank representatives, the Green Finance Package is a concrete step in the bank’s ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) strategy. ESG is not just a governance or social responsibility goal but a guiding principle across all operations, from internal processes and credit management to product development and customer experience.
“Sustainable development is no longer a slogan but a measure of a financial institution’s capability. With the Green Finance Package, we aim to inspire a ‘green living’ spirit among our customers, ensuring every financial action—saving, spending, borrowing, or insuring—contributes meaningfully to environmental projects. This is how Sacombank fulfills its ESG commitment while building a greener future for Vietnam,” shared Ms. Nguyễn Phương Huyền, Director of Individual Customer Division at Sacombank.
Strategically, the Green Finance Package is more than a new product; it’s a long-term commitment by Sacombank to sustainable development. Each customer who saves, spends, or invests not only manages their finances wisely but also helps create a greener planet, aligning with Sacombank’s philosophy: “Growing Together.”
