Strengthening commitment to Vietnam

Vietnam is Nucleus Software's largest market in Southeast Asia and a key part of its long-term regional strategy, with customers including leading financial institutions such as MB Bank and Vietcombank.

In February 2026, the company incorporated Nucleus Software Vietnam Company Limited, a wholly owned local entity, and established its office in Hanoi. The entity formalises local delivery, hiring and contracting capabilities and enables engagement under Vietnamese procurement and compliance frameworks.

The local presence, inaugural Synapse forum and dual-platform launch reflect Nucleus Software's focus on strengthening customer proximity, building local capabilities and supporting Vietnamese financial institutions through their transformation journeys.

Vishnu R. Dusad, Co-Founder and Managing Director, Nucleus Software, said:
"Vietnam is our largest market in Southeast Asia and central to our long-term regional strategy. The launch of FinnOne Neo® 9.0 and FinnAxia® 9.0, together with our local presence in Hanoi, reflects our commitment to helping financial institutions convert AI and technology into trusted business outcomes. We look forward to supporting Vietnam's next phase of intelligent and connected banking."

Nguyễn Hoàng Minh, CEO, FPT IS, FPT Corporation, said:
"Vietnam is targeting double-digit growth from 2026–2030. Banking customers have changed, expecting faster, more efficient, secure and reliable transactions. This requires close collaboration between the State Bank setting standards, banks driving implementation, and technology partners delivering solutions. With over 30 years of experience in Vietnam's banking digital transformation, and mastering technology capabilities, we are strongly committed to co-creating Lending value with Nucleus Software, driving Vietnam's economic growth."

Nucleus Synapse Vietnam featured discussions on building intelligent banks at trusted scale, responding to changing customer expectations in a connected economy and preparing leaders for the next era of financial services.

The event also included the Nucleus Synapse Banking Awards: Excellence in Transformation, recognising financial institutions contributing to meaningful technology-led progress across the sector.

Through Nucleus Synapse Vietnam, the organisers aim to create an ongoing platform for knowledge exchange, collaboration and co-innovation across Vietnam's financial ecosystem.
