F88 attributed its strong profit growth to an optimized cost structure and higher revenue, leading to a 12.6% reduction in its cost-to-revenue ratio (CIR). This performance signals a major turnaround for the company following its VND545 billion loss in 2023.
By the end of 2024, F88 operated 868 transaction points nationwide, further solidifying its position as a key player in Vietnam’s consumer financial services sector. The company also expanded into insurance distribution by launching NNX Technology Joint Stock Company.
