Prudential plc announces the sale of Prudential Vietnam Finance Company Ltd and a new long-term bancassurance partnership in Vietnam and Indonesia with Shinhan Financial Group

HONG KONG, CHINA - RIAUONEcom, - 23 January 2018 - Prudential plc ("Prudential"), a UK-based financial services group, has reached an agreement to sell 100% of its consumer finance business in Vietnam, Prudential Vietnam Finance Company Limited ("PVFC"), for a consideration of US$151 million, subject to regulatory approvals. 
 
The agreement is with Shinhan Card Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of the Shinhan Financial Group ("Shinhan"), a leading Korean financial institution. 
 
Prudential and Shinhan have also agreed a new long-term bancassurance partnership in Vietnam and Indonesia.
 
PVFC was launched in 2006 as the first foreign, non-bank financial institution licensed for consumer finance lending in Vietnam.  Today it is the fourth largest consumer finance company by outstanding loan balance.
 
Prudential and Shinhan will work closely to ensure a smooth transition of the business. PVFC remains committed to all of its customer obligations and operations will continue as normal until the transaction has been completed.
 
Prudential remains fully committed to the Vietnamese market through its life insurance business, Prudential Vietnam Assurance Private Limited, and asset management business, Eastspring Investments Fund Management Company (Vietnam).
 
Nic Nicandrou, Chief Executive of Prudential Corporation Asia commented: "PVFC is a high quality business but is not core to our strategy in Vietnam.
 
We are delighted that Shinhan will be able to lead this consumer finance business through to the next stage of its development. Vietnam remains an attractive and important market to Prudential where we have high quality and fast-growing life insurance and asset management operations.
 
"As part of this transaction, we are further expanding our regional platform through the new long-term bancassurance partnership with Shinhan in both Vietnam and Indonesia to continue serving the growing savings and protection needs of the Asian population."
