Under this comprehensive partnership, VPBank will accompany De Heus across multiple areas of cooperation. One key focus is the provision of payroll services and financial welfare products for De Heus employees.

VPBank will introduce banking solutions tailored specifically for De Heus, designed to meet different levels and usage needs, including premium service packages for senior management as well as flexible account, card, and banking service packages for employees. The partnership is expected not only to optimize payroll operations but also to enhance employee financial well-being, strengthen engagement, and improve job satisfaction.

Notably, VPBank will provide De Heus and its affiliated entities with short-, medium-, and long-term financing solutions tailored to the company’s business operations, investment plans, expansion, and sustainable development goals, in compliance with Vietnamese legal regulations.

The bank also committed to actively researching and implementing suitable financial products and solutions to support De Heus suppliers, thereby enhancing the stability and efficiency of the supply chain.

Speaking at the signing ceremony, Mr. Nguyen Duc Vinh, CEO of VPBank, said: “We highly appreciate De Heus’ scale, vision, and sustainable development strategy in Viet Nam. This comprehensive cooperation agreement not only demonstrates VPBank’s long-term commitment to accompanying De Heus, but also contributes to realizing the bank’s strategy of developing corporate and agricultural ecosystems through practical, effective financial solutions tailored to the industry’s specific characteristics. We believe that when banks provide the right support at the right time and in line with actual needs, businesses and their ecosystems will become more sustainable, more efficient, and more competitive in the long term.”

As a major corporate client that has maintained a long-standing partnership with VPBank, and as a leading player in the livestock sector, De Heus will support VPBank in delivering banking products and services to livestock farming households nationwide, thereby contributing to the sustainable development of Viet Nam’s livestock industry.

Mr. Gabor Fluit, CEO of De Heus Group, shared: “Over the years, De Heus has continuously expanded its investments in Viet Nam with a long-term vision of building a modern, efficient, and sustainable agricultural value chain. Today’s comprehensive cooperation agreement with VPBank reflects the strong alignment in vision and strategic direction between the two parties, as both place long-term development, responsible finance, and sustainable value creation at the center of their priorities. We believe that, with the support of a leading bank like VPBank and financial solutions specifically designed for the livestock sector, De Heus will continue to enhance value chain efficiency, promote green growth, and contribute positively to the sustainable development of Viet Nam’s livestock industry.”

The comprehensive cooperation agreement between VPBank and De Heus is expected to establish a solid foundation for a long-term strategic partnership, contributing to the business growth of both parties while delivering practical benefits to the business community, employees, and Viet Nam’s agricultural sector.
