To accelerate digital transformation by small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Asia-Pacific, it launched the Acceptance Fast Track Programme. Small firms in Vietnam can start accepting digital payment in just a few minutes thanks to new solutions and improved approval process of Visa.
Visa Business Solutions provide enterprises a set of tools for gaining success and improving operational efficiency in the era of modern commerce. Meanwhile, SMEs can also access resources on Visa’s Practical Business Skills platform, which gives them necessary knowledge about how to start, manage, and develop a business, Dung added.

The local administration targets that at least one street will have all stores applying cashless payment methods.
A Visa survey in 2021 revealed that nearly half of Vietnamese consumers are using contactless cards. Though the COVID-19 pandemic has showed signs of easing, 74 percent of the interviewees said they will still shop on large e-commerce platforms, and that even when directly going shopping, they also hope digital payment methods will still be applied at traditional stores./.
