electronic money Vietnam
Vietnam accelerating towards a cashless society
For the first time, the Vietnamese legal framework formally defines electronic money. Under Decree No.52/2024/ND-CP, electronic money is “the value of Vietnamese currency co-stored on electronic means provided on a reciprocal basis with the amount prepaid by customers to banks, foreign bank branches, and intermediary payment service providers providing e-wallet services.” This definition establishes electronic money as a digital form of Vietnam’s legal currency.
