Techcombank was founded in 1993[4]  by Vietnamese businessmen who returned from Russia. Its domestic investors include Vietnam Airlines[5] and Masan Group.[6]  In 2005, global bank HSBC acquired a 10% stake in Techcombank.[7][8] In 2008, HSBC increased its stake in the bank to 20% by making a follow-on investment of $77.1 million.[9][10] In 2017, HSBC divested its strategic investment in Techcombank by selling its 172 million share stake.[5] In 2018, US private equity firm Warburg Pincus invested $370 million.[11]

In 2018, the company listed its shares on the Ho Chi Minh City Stock Exchange. The company raised more than $900 million through the IPO, making it Vietnam’s largest IPO to date.[12][2] The majority of the IPO shares was reserved for so-called cornerstone investors,[13] i.e. institutional investors which included GIC,[14] Fidelity and Dragon Capital.[15] 

Today, Techcombank is one of the largest joint stock banks in Vietnam.[16]  As of 2019, it has more than 300 branches[17] and serves more than 5 million customers.[5]
