Vietnam Joint Stock Commercial Bank for Industry and Trade (VietinBank)
has been named in the top 500 banking brands globally with a trademark
value of 271 million USD.
According to the list,
recently launched by The Banker, the world’ leading banking-financial
magazine, VietinBank ranked 328th, a 106-place leap from its position
last year.
It is also the only Vietnamese bank to enter the top 10 that enjoy the highest growth rate of brand value in 2013.
The result reflects VietinBank’s safe, effective and sustainable
operations in 2012, especially the bank’s prestige and development
prospect after it sold a 20 percent stake to its Japanese strategic
partner, the Bank of Tolyo-Mitsubishi UFJ (BTMU), which is listed in
the top 10 brands in Asia .
This is the eighth year
the top 500 banking brands has been issued by The Banker, which is the
world’s premier banking and finance resource, providing global finance
intelligence since 1926.-VNA
