Effective from June 2025, the decree is expected to support growth of digital acceptance infrastructure across Vietnam.
  • The introduction of agent banking services with basic banking offerings in remote areas has driven banked population growth. In June 2024, the SBV issued a circular regulating payment agent activities, which was effective from July 1, 2024. Subsequently, in December 2024, VPBank partnered with Mobile World to launch a payment agent model in Vietnam. As part of the agreement, VPBank customers can perform basic banking services such as deposits, withdrawals, and money transfer services at Mobile World and Dien May Xanh stores. Similarly, in May 2025, MB Bank partnered with Viettel Store to offer basic banking services to its customers, including account opening as well as transferring, depositing, and withdrawing money at nearly 400 Viettel outlets.
  • Vietnam is advancing its cashless economy by integrating card-based payments into public transport systems. In April 2025, the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Transport introduced an open-loop electronic ticketing system for buses. The new system supports payments made via debit, credit, and prepaid cards; mobile wallets; and smart devices, marking a major step toward widespread digital payment adoption. As of October 2025, 95% of buses operating in Ho Chi Minh City had been installed with cashless payment systems

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
