Report Highlights

-To expand the country's banking sector and to encourage foreign participation, the government lifted the cap on foreign investment in September 2015, allowing foreign investors to own majority shares in domestic banks - in accordance with Decree No. 60/2015/ND-CP on June 26, 2015 (the New Regulation). Previously, foreign banks were allowed to hold minority shares in joint-venture banks, although they were allowed to enter the market using other modes such setting up subsidiaries, branches or representative offices. A number of foreign banks, such as BNP Paribas, Citibank, HSBC, Standard Chartered Bank and ING Bank, already have a presence. With favorable foreign direct investment (FDI) regulations, more international banks are expected to enter Vietnam, providing a boost to the country's payment cards market.

-Banks are taking a number of initiatives to support the government's financial inclusion plan to bring the unbanked into the formal banking system. The latest initiative was the launch of a mobile-based financial service by HDBank in alliance with financial technology company GlobeOne in February 2016. The service allows consumers to conduct transactions such as opening a demand deposit or security savings account, obtaining a line of credit, and making domestic and international fund transfers using a smartphone app.

-To increase the uptake of point of sale (POS) solutions among small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), in January 2015 Vietnam Export Import Commercial Joint Stock Bank and electronic payment service provider Wirecard Group launched the Eximbank mobile point of sale (mPOS) solution, enabling merchants to accept payments through smartphones or tablets. The mPOS device can read magnetic strip and Europay, Mastercard, and Visa (EMV) chip cards. In June 2014, MasterCard and Sacombank entered into a partnership, offering mPOS solutions to SMEs at the Ben Thanh market in Vietnam. The partnership enabled Ben Thanh market to transform from cash-only to Vietnam's first wet market to accept payment cards. The introduction of mPOS solutions is anticipated to encourage SMEs to accept card-based payments, further driving payment card transaction volumes and values.
