About BSC
Overview
BIDV Securities Company, operating as BSC, is a Vietnamese securities brokerage firm headquartered in Hanoi. Established in 2011, the firm positions itself as a pioneering entity in Vietnam's stock market. BSC offers a range of services including securities brokerage, financial services, and investment advisory for individual, institutional, and corporate clients.
Company Background
BSC is based in the Thaiholdings Building at 210 Tran Quang Khai Street, Hoan Kiem District, Hanoi, occupying the 8th and 9th floors. The company was founded as a subsidiary of BIDV, one of Vietnam's largest banks. It serves as a full-service securities firm, catering to the local market with a focus on Vietnamese equities and derivatives.
Regulation and Licensing
As per FXCanary's records, BSC does not hold any regulatory license from financial authorities outside Vietnam. The firm is not regulated as a forex or CFD broker. While it operates under Vietnamese corporate law and may be subject to oversight from the State Securities Commission of Vietnam (SSC), no independent regulatory body such as FCA or ASIC oversees its activities. This absence of regulation is a significant factor for potential clients to consider.
Products and Services
BSC primarily offers securities trading services, including buying and selling of stocks, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and derivatives such as warrants and futures. The broker also provides margin trading and securities pledge services. Financial advisory and corporate finance services are available to institutional clients. Importantly, BSC does not offer forex or CFD trading—its core business is domestic Vietnamese securities.
Trading Platforms
Clients can trade via BSC’s proprietary WEBTrader platform and a mobile application. These platforms support order placement, portfolio tracking, and market research. The broker does not provide MetaTrader or third-party platforms, nor does it offer a demo account. All trading is conducted in Vietnamese Dong (VND) and focuses on the local exchanges.
Account Types
BSC offers standard securities trading accounts for individuals and organizations. Account features include margin trading and derivatives trading upon approval. Account opening requires valid identification and a signed contract. The broker supports online account opening for domestic clients and provides detailed instructions on its website.
Target Audience
BSC is designed for Vietnamese residents and entities looking to participate in the local stock market. It caters to both retail investors and institutional clients. International traders or those seeking forex/CFD products will find BSC unsuitable. The firm’s services are tailored to those familiar with the Vietnamese regulatory and market environment.
