Opportunity for e-payments
12
Internet usage in Vietnam has reached 67%. Internet economy reached
US$9 billion in 2018, accounting for 3.8% GDP.
85% smartphone penetration amongst adults 15+.
Proactive support from the government creates favorable conditions to
foster and develop supply side e-payment services in Vietnam.
Cash habit and COD model seem to be the barrier
13
People do not always trust financial institutions data
privacy and transaction security.
Secrecy and the avoidance of transparency with
authorities.
At home cash collections (utilities) and cash on
delivery (e-commerce) already work efficiently and
conveniently for consumers.
It is difficult for cash users to transition to digital
methods of payment, as it is a new experience for
them.

Exploring non cash payment methods
▪ To explore non cash payment behaviours, Cimigo conducted a booster sample for those who settled
their transaction types by any non cash methods in the past three months (P3M).
▪ Sample size:
▪ N = 300
▪ Criteria:
▪ 18-55 yrs.
▪ Live in HCMC & Hanoi.
▪ Monthly household income: above 9,000,000 VND.
▪ Settled any non cash transactions in the past 3 months (P3M).
▪ Quota set accordingly to represent population.
18
▪ Using a list of common transaction types that could be settled, respondents were asked what they had used in the
past 3 months. The transactions are grouped to gain adequate sample sizes for analysis.
▪ Looking at online purchase as an example: We found 113 respondents who had purchased online in this sample.
The activity could include online entertainment, shopping on e-commerce platforms or hotel bookings.
• Online entertainment; games, movies,
videos and music bills
• Online shopping bills (from e-
commerce companies, e.g. Lazada,
Tiki, Shopee…)
• Online shopping bills (from personal or
individual shops on Facebook)
• Online travel, flight or hotel booking

➢ Online:
• People can use their debit cards (with
internet banking) to pay the supplier or
service provider. This can be settled on
the suppliers or service providers platform
(website or app).
• The process is choose payment option,
then enter card number and pin code.
• A token is sent to their phone, which they
have to enter to submit the payment.
➢ Offline:
• People can use their bank cards to pay via
POS at a café, restaurant, supermarket,
convenience store or home collector.
• Signature will be required to finish the
payment.
➢ In-app purchase:
• The app offers a wide range of payments
built- in. Most common are money
transfers, mobile top-ups, utility bills,
tickets, food deliveries etc.
➢ Accepted in other platform:
• Some e-commerce platforms had the
payment options linked to e-wallets or
banking apps.
➢ Directly at stores:
• They could be used to pay directly at
some stores, cafés, restaurants, super
markets or convenience stores etc.
• The QR code or NFC tech supports these
type of payments. The QR codes are
generated by the cashier or stuck on
items. Customers use their e-wallet app to
scan those codes and settle the
transactions with the app. Or with NFC
tech, they can tap their phone on the POS
to pay.
➢ Online:
• Via internet browser, people can access
their bank website and transfer money to
the supplier or service provider to
purchase things.
➢ Offline:
• People come to the physical bank.

▪ E-wallet has a lack of professional customer care service. Frequent errors or system instability are
also a common complaint about e-wallets and mobile banking apps.

involved with non-cash payments with banks

➢ The process of registering is
complicated.

payment process.
➢ They should reduce the
transaction fee.
➢ It requires many documents for
the registration.
➢ It has a high annual fee.
➢ Staff should explain the policy
more clearly.
➢ It is not versatile, it has few in-app
utilities.
➢ Errors often occur.
➢ Unprofessional customer care
service.

perspective
▪ Tech led consumer centricity that banks can never match?
▪ A bridge for banks to penetrate the unbanked?
▪ A focus on micro transactions?
Could e-wallets become a distribution and marketing channel for banks?
53
Unbanked sector
Will a dominant player win?
54
Already the leader for their messenger application, but why not their e-
wallet?
Already in every Samsung phone, but why is it not the leader?
Momo burns a lot of money to have people try it, how long can this
spend be sustained?
Will one player prevail in a larger eco-system?
A super app like We Chat in China?
55
Which is the most possible scenario?
3. An e-wallet will dominate and win.
4. An e-wallet will become a sing all-in-one super
app (e.g. Wechat in China).
56
1. Bank mobile apps will kill e-wallets.
2. E-wallets will be a distribution and marketing
channel for banks.
