Sai Gon Joint Stock Commercial Bank or Saigon Commercial Bank, abbreviated as SCB (Vietnamese: Ngân hàng Thương mại cổ phần Sài Gòn),[3] is the largest commercial bank in Vietnam by assets, founded in 2012 and headquartered in Ho Chi Minh City.[4][5][6] It was founded by the fusion of 3 small banks and was controlled by businesswoman and real estate developer Trương Mỹ Lan. From 2012 until 2022 SCB issued Lan 93% of its loan portfolio, more than 2,500 loans worth over US$44 billion.

Her defrauding $11.5 billion and corruption is considered the largest fraud scandal in Southeast Asia's history[7][8] and led to her arrest in 2022, causing a bank run. The bank is since under state control.
