With the goal of putting people at the center and using data as the foundation, Bim Son town has been actively implementing the installation and use of VNeID application and digital bank accounts for people. To date, over 99% of the population has been issued with chip-embedded citizen identification cards (the rest are mainly local citizens working far away); 95.57% of people have installed electronic identification codes activated at level 2, ensuring the roadmap for implementing Project No. 06 of the Government on developing applications of population data, identification and electronic authentication to serve national digital transformation in the period of 2022-2025, with a vision to 2030. Along with that, 90% of people have bank accounts and 75.2% of people make non-cash payments.

According to the assessment of the People's Committee of Bim Son town, Ward 4, Lam Son ward is one of the typical residential areas in implementing digital transformation. Each member of the community digital technology team (CNSCĐ) has focused on guiding people to install, grasp the skills of using digital platforms, cashless payments and support the installation of personal electronic identification. To date, 100% of adult citizens of the ward have installed personal electronic identification, social insurance software on mobile phones; 60.3% of the adult population has installed digital signatures.

Mr. Vu Dinh Kip, Party cell secretary, head of the neighborhood 4 CNSCD team, Lam Son ward, said: "To achieve the above results, the neighborhood CNSCD team has flexibly applied various forms, coordinated with the social security team to participate in implementing activities. Along with that, the neighborhood has mobilized local youth union members to join the CNSCD team to visit each household to install the VNeID application, personal digital signature and digital transformation applications for the people. At the same time, coordinate with banks in the town and related units to guide people, business households and traders in the neighborhood to install digital platform applications to transact on e-commerce platforms, open electronic payment accounts. Up to now, 100% of business households and shops in the neighborhood accept electronic payment methods".

Among the "bright spots" of digital transformation in the community, we must also mention the residential areas in Dinh Hung commune (Yen Dinh). Up to now, 4/4 villages of the commune, including Duyen Hy, Ve Thon, Ho Thon, Dong Tinh have been recognized as smart villages. Along with the implementation of installing personal digital signatures and electronic identification, the creation of bank accounts is also given special attention by the locality. According to the report of the People's Committee of the commune, up to now, 100% of business households and traders in the commune use QR codes, accept non-cash payments; the rate of people of working age having bank accounts is 83%. Chairman of Dinh Hung Commune People's Committee Le Van Cuong said: “In 2024, the commune coordinated with officials and employees of Agribank and Vietcombank to go to the cultural houses of villages to propagate, mobilize and open free accounts for people. The banks also supported businesses and traders in the commune to create QRcodes for electronic payments. After only a short time of implementation, cashless payments have become a daily spending habit of people in the commune. Along with that, electronic health record applications and VNeID electronic identification have been popularized, helping people to easily manage personal information and more conveniently carry out administrative procedures".

According to the report of the Provincial Steering Committee for Digital Transformation, by the end of March 2025, the whole province had successfully received and activated more than 2.2 million electronic identification accounts, of which more than 30,000 accounts have been activated since the beginning of the year. Regarding digital signatures, nearly 538,000 electronic signatures have been issued to people, reaching a rate of 26.3%. Regarding non-cash payments, 26/26 districts, towns and cities have made non-cash payments to beneficiaries of social security policies, with a total number of beneficiaries receiving payments via accounts of 45,158/53,571 people (reaching 84.3%). Regarding pension and social insurance allowance payments, non-cash reception has been mobilized and implemented for 59,991/164,382 people (reaching 36.49%). Regarding online payment on the National Public Service Portal, the rate of online payment records is nearly 265,588/450,684 records (reaching 58.93%). However, besides the achieved results, the process of building a digital society in the province still has some difficulties such as: infrastructure and utilities are not yet widespread and synchronous; a part of the people are afraid to change their habits in non-cash payment; some applications and digital platforms for people are not really convenient...

With the determination that all citizens aged 16 and above who meet the conditions have a digital identity and a digital account, localities in the province have been making efforts to promote the dissemination of electronic identification, while guiding people to install and use the VNeID application, how to register an account on the Public Service Portal, perform online public services and digital bank accounts. This is considered a solid foundation for Thanh Hoa province to effectively implement the model "Each citizen - A digital identity" in particular, and the contents of the "Digital Education for All" movement in general in the coming time.
