(L&D)-On September 19, 2025, Moody’s Ratings (Moody’s), one of the world’s three leading international credit rating agencies, announced its credit ratings for Southeast Asia Commercial Joint Stock Bank (SeABank, HOSE: SSB). Moody’s affirmed the Ba3 rating for the bank’s Long-term Deposit category, maintained the Baseline Credit Assessment (BCA) at B1, and assigned a Stable development outlook for SeABank.
According to Moody’s report, SeABank maintained a TCE ratio (capital to risk-weighted assets) of 12.1% as of June 2025, ranking among the highest of the banks rated by Moody’s in Vietnam. Asset quality also remained stable, with a non-performing loan (NPL) ratio below 2%. The agency forecast that this ratio would remain low over the next 12–18 months thanks to SeABank’s track record of stable credit risk management.
Moody’s noted that SeABank’s profit in the first half of 2025 improved compared to the same period last year, supported by a strategy of restructuring its business portfolio and enhancing operational efficiency. This outcome affirms the Bank’s management capability in flexibly adapting to market developments and sustaining stable growth momentum.
This marks the fourth consecutive year that SeABank has maintained a Ba3 credit rating from Moody’s with a Stable outlook, reflecting the international agency’s confidence in the Bank’s management capabilities, financial foundation, and sustainable development orientation.
Moody’s continued affirmation of the Ba3 rating with a Stable outlook not only represents international recognition of SeABank but also enhances the Bank’s reputation among domestic and foreign investors and partners. This is also a positive signal for Vietnam’s financial market, as international institutions increasingly acknowledge the role of private joint stock commercial banks in the country’s integration process.
In addition to strengthening its financial foundation, SeABank aims to become a leading bank in supporting Vietnamese enterprises in expanding into international markets, promoting green finance, green credit, and funding environmentally friendly projects. Through these initiatives, SeABank seeks to make a practical contribution to sustainable economic development, aligning with Vietnam’s long-term growth strategy.
As of June 30, 2025, SeABank’s total assets reached over VND 379 trillion, further consolidating its position as one of the country’s leading joint stock commercial banks, accompanying the growth of businesses and the Vietnamese economy.
Under its “Digital Convergence” development strategy, SeABank focuses on digitizing products and services, applying technology to internal operations, and investing in modern technological infrastructure to optimize processes, enhance operational efficiency, and deliver a distinctive digital banking experience to customers, with the goal of becoming the most preferred retail bank.
