Consumer finance retains attractiveness
Consumer finance groups are attempting to diversify funding sources
According to a report by brokerage SSI Research, HD Saison - the consumer finance arm of HDBank and Japanâs Credit Saison - will enjoy an increase of 15 per cent on-year in its profit for 2021, reaching VND1.15 trillion ($50 million).
Although there are still areas of concern associated with new cash loans disbursed in 2020, HD Saisonâs board also expected that this year, loans to buy motorbikes and home appliances will rise, especially when customer incomes increase along with economic recovery.
The report also showed that cash lending activities of HD Saison has increased strongly in the past year (up 47.8 per cent). SSI Research believed that this is a remarkable point because this is a segment that often has a higher non-performing loans ratio than motorcycles and home appliances loans.

SSI Research has cited information from VPBankâs Board of Management that the due diligence process for FE Credit sale has been conducted. FE Credit, Vietnamâs largest consumer finance firm, is in negotiation with its potential partners, though the discussion progress is somewhat interrupted due to the pandemic.
However, VPBank expects the negotiation to be completed in the second quarter of 2021. If the two sides cannot reach a mutual agreement, VPBank would consider an initial public offering (IPO) for FE Credit by the end of this year.
