This research emphasizes on the loan portfolio analysis of Bank for Investment and Development of Vietnam to identify the best discriminating indicators between defaulting and non-defaulting firmn. The empirical test was conducted by multivariate discriminant analysis with the application for both financial and non-financial factors. The key findings reveals one financial indicator (Working Capital Turnover) and five non-financial indicators (related to Credit Policy of the bank, Inter-organizational relationship and Risky Frequency of Firm's Industry) could be considered as significant default predictors. Following that, the discriminant function based on Z scores model (Altman, 1968) was developed in the light of investigating the more important role of non-financial indicators. Those findings pave the way of new approach in credit ranking for commercial banks in Vietnam
