INTERPRETATION ON THE SCORES

 

Asia Commercial Joint-Stock Bank (ACB) was established under the Operation License No. 0032/ NH-GP dated 24 April 1993 by the State Bank of Vietnam (the license is for a period of 50 years.) and Establishment Decision No. 533/GP- UB dated 13 May 1993 by the People’s Committee of Ho Chi Minh City. ACB started operations on 04 June 1993. Pursuant to Decision No. 21/QD-TTGDHN dated 31 October 2006, ACB was approved for listing shares on Hanoi Securities Trading Center.

Business scope of ACB including: mobilize short, medium and long-term capital in the form of time deposits, demand deposits and certificates of deposits; receive investment funds; receive capital from domestic and overseas financial institutions; grant short, medium, long-term loans; discount commercial paper, bonds and valuable documents; invest in securities and companies; provide settlement services to customers; deal in foreign exchange and gold; provide international settlement services, factoring, to act as an agent and provide consultancy services for securities investment; provide securities deposit services, corporate finance consultancy services, underwriting services, asset management services, leasing and other banking services.

ACB’s Head Office is located at No. 442 Nguyen Thi Minh Khai Street, District 3, Hochiminh City. As at 31 March 2011, the Bank had 288 branches and transaction offices nation-wide.

For recent years, ACB had reported good performance of impressive profits. But as fiscal year end at December 31st 2010, its pretax profit reached 3.1 trillion dong, rising 9% year on year and standing in the bottom of list of joint stock banks in terms of profit growth. Reasons for this reduction including: A large scale of ACB’s income came from gold trading floor but the income from gold trading floor was shut down. The interbank interest rate was lower than interest rates of deposits called from residents in a long time. These affected strongly to ACB because the bank had a big volume of this kind of deposits and usually boosted interbank lending operation.

In overview, the subject’s future prospect is good. Currently, subject is regarded as one of the largest commercial bank in Vietnam. The subject’s capability is quite good. The subject has capacity to meet financial commitments. No caution needed for all medium business transaction with the subject.
