SaigonBank, the largest privately-run bank in terms of deposits, is reported to hold VND372 trillion (US$16.05 billion), equivalent to 39% of BIDV's.
All three leading banks also witnessed a high growth rate of deposits in the first nine months of 2018, with BIDV seeing an increase of 10.9%, VietinBank 9.7%, and Vietcombank 9.2%, translating in an interest payment of VND83.5 trillion (US$3.6 billion) in total.
