In the third quarter financial report, Techcombank said that its profit before tax reached VNĐ5.8 trillion (US$237.4 million), up 3.4 per cent from the second quarter but down 13 per cent year-on-year.
Its total operation income gained 11.7 per cent from the second quarter to VNĐ10.4 trillion. Of which, revenue from service activities reached VNĐ 2.7 trillion, up 12.9 per cent over last year thanks to an increase in the number of clients.
According to Techcombank, it attracted around 2,2 million new customers in the first nine months, bringing its total clients to nearly 13 million.
For the first nine months, revenue from services continued to rise 7.6 per cent on-year during the period.
However, the bank's profit before tax was down 17.8 per cent from last year to VNĐ17.1 trillion due to a strong increase in risk provision cost.

Given a yearly target of VNĐ22 trillion in profit before tax, Techcombank completed nearly 78 per cent of the plan.
