VPBank (VPB) reduced deposit interest rates by 0.3%-0.5% for 6-36 month terms online, following a State Bank of Vietnam directive that prompted 30 domestic commercial banks to cut rates by 0.05% to 1% annually. This coordinated easing aims to lower funding costs and support credit growth, with state-owned BIDV implementing the deepest cuts of 0.8%-0.9%.

The State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) net withdrew VND 71,563 billion from the banking system via open market operations (OMO) in the week of April 13-17, 2026, while 30 commercial banks including VPBank (VPB) cut deposit rates by 0.1-0.5 percentage points. This coordinated action, following an SBV meeting, signals a deliberate easing of funding costs and system liquidity, potentially supporting bank net interest margins as pressure from the USD/VND exchange rate subsides.
