For the first time in Vietnam through a partnership with VPBank, the Garmin Pay payment application helps users make contactless payments quickly, safely, effectively, and with a commitment to security on the brand's leading smartwatches.

Garmin smartwatch users can now pay with Garmin Pay

Garmin, the world's leading smart wearable device brand, has just announced that Vietnamese users can now activate and use Garmin Pay on 22 different smartwatch models of the brand. Currently, this optimal Garmin Pay payment system has been welcomed in 94 countries around the world and now, with the first cooperation with Vietnam Prosperity Joint Stock Commercial Bank (VPBank), Garmin Pay is available on the payment network in Vietnam.

This payment application does not require a connection to a mobile phone and can be used independently. Garmin Pay's maximum security system also allows bank card information to be kept confidential through a transaction code for each purchase. When paying, the payment card number will not be stored on the device, on Garmin's system or sent to the seller, but based on the specific card number of each watch.

If the user takes the watch off their wrist or turns off the heart rate monitor, the watch will ask for a passcode again before making a payment. Additionally, Garmin Pay will automatically lock the wallet if the user enters the wrong passcode three times. At that point, they will have to reset the passcode in the Garmin Connect app to continue.

After successfully entering the password, users will be free to make unlimited payments for all services, from dining, shopping, entertainment, education expenses and transportation... without having to re-enter the code within 24 hours conveniently while still wearing the watch.

Mr. Scoppen Lin, Vice President of Garmin Asia shared: “With the cooperation with VPBank, Garmin officially launches the Garmin Pay payment application for the first time in the Vietnamese market, bringing the best payment tools and systems to users. We are committed to promoting the development of Garmin Pay, providing unprecedented convenience through an enhanced one-touch payment experience in Vietnam.”
