Do Minh Phu was born in 1953, well known as the founder of the Doji Group – a leading gold and gem brand in Vietnam. He officially joined TPBank under the Banking Restructuring Project approved by the State Bank of Vietnam in April 2012. At the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders in 2012, Do Minh Phu was elected Chairman of the Board of Directors of TPBank. The Bank was restructured under his helm.
Do Minh Phu was born into a famous business family. However, what makes Do Minh Phu a successful entrepreneur is his independent spirit and strong will. Do Minh Phu’s life has many milestones, but there are 2 significant landmarks, one was when he gave up the
position of General Director of a foreign joint-venture company to establish a private company - TTD Co., Ltd, which later became Doji Group; another is when he gave up the position as Chairman of Doji’s Board to join TPBank - at that time was still a weak bank, struggling in the restructuring process.
As the Chairman of the Board of Directors, Do Minh Phu led TPBank to complete the process of restructuring. In mid-2015, TPBank compensated all accumulated losses and became the only bank to successfully restructure itself. The addition of more foreign shareholders - IFC (of Word Bank) (2016) and PYN Elite Fund (2017) – marks an important milestone for the strong development of
TPBank.
Under Do Minh Phu’s leadership, TPBank became the Top 10 strongest commercial banks in Vietnam. The Bank’s assets grew seven-fold in seven-years to VND 153,000 billion. Its customer base grew to over 2.5 million, an increase of 40 times. Accumulated pre-tax profit for this period was VND 6,100 billion and the number of employees reached over 5,000, a 7-fold increase. TPBank’s bad debt rate was kept below 1 percent for the past 5 years, the lowest among commercial banks in the country. TPBank is one of the pioneering banks to apply Technology 4.0 and Fintech to Banking products and services. In November 2018, TPBank was honoured with the Third-class Labour Medal of the President for its great contributions to the banking sector in particular and Vietnam’s economy in general.
He has won numerous awards which includes Certificate from the Prime Minister “Outstanding achievements in the implementation of credit institutions restructuring plan for the period of 2011-2015”.
