Mr. Nguyen Xuan Thai, aged 23, will serve as assistant to the Board of Directors within the bank’s governance office. Ms. Nguyen Ngoc My Anh, aged 25, will serve as assistant to the CEO in the same office. Both are children of Mr. Nguyen Duc Thuy, who is Vice Chairman of Sacombank and a former Chairman of LPBank.

Market Context
STB shares closed at VND 69,800 on June 6, 2026, down 0.85% on volume of 3.82 million shares. The stock is listed on HOSE and is part of the banking sector. The appointments may raise corporate governance concerns among minority investors, given the family ties to a senior executive. Sacombank has a history of related-party transactions, and these roles place the founder’s children in sensitive positions.
Strategic Significance
The appointments signal potential succession planning within Sacombank, as the Thuy family consolidates influence. Mr. Thai’s educational background in the US and his board roles at LPBS and SCEX suggest a grooming path for future leadership. However, the lack of prior banking experience for both appointees may raise questions about merit-based selection. For long-term investors, governance practices will be a key factor in assessing STB’s risk profile.

- Q2 2026 earnings release for STB, expected in July 2026, for any impact on profitability.
