Hanoi, 10th Nov 2025, Fitch Ratings has assigned first time Long-term Issuer Default Ratings (IDR) of ‘BB-’ with a ‘Positive Outlook’ to Techcombank.

Within three months, Techcombank has consistently been rated highly by two of the world’s leading credit rating agencies, Fitch Ratings and S&P Global Ratings, reaffirming the bank’s robust capital base, effective risk management, and sustainable growth strategy.

The "Positive" Outlook reflects Fitch’s confidence in Techcombank’s resilient balance sheet, robust funding profile, and prudent risk management framework, as well as the Bank’s continued progress in diversifying its loan portfolio and maintaining stable asset quality across economic cycles. Notably, Fitch highlighted Techcombank’s strong Funding & Liquidity position with a top-tier ‘bb’ score, citing its solid deposit base with a "higher portion of low-cost deposits relative to the peer average" and ample liquidity buffers.
