Vietnam pushing digital payments between businesses

Visa’s Country Manager for Vietnam and Laos Dang Tuyet Dung said small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) now account for 98% of the 760,000 firms in Vietnam, and the application of modern payment methods would help them reach their anticipated levels of growth.

Some 67% of SMEs have changed their approach to operations since the COVID-19 outbreak struck, with 28% launching ads on social media, 27% selling products and services online, 20% arranging contactless payments, and 20% offering goods delivery.

She introduced the Visa corporate card, which helps firms optimise idle capital, thus saving on costs in the long run.
