Cashless payments are on the rise At the end of March 2024, Visa - the world's leading electronic payment technology company - announced the latest insights into the payment landscape in Vietnam in the Consumer Payment Attitudes Study 2023 report. The report shows that the trend of switching to modern electronic payment methods is increasingly popular in Vietnam. Accordingly, 56% of Vietnamese users participating in the survey are carrying less cash than the previous year, demonstrating consumers' proactive embrace of new financial technologies. In particular, young users are currently playing the role of a pioneering generation driving the growth of cashless payments, with 89% of survey participants having successfully accessed digital payment methods in their daily lives. In fact, in all needs of life, cashless payments have become very popular. For consumers, diversifying cashless payment methods for expenses has become a convenient habit when they do not have to carry money with them. "Now I don't need to carry cash anymore, all payments are now transferred quickly and conveniently. From vegetables to household goods or clothes... All stores accept QR or card payments, at least they can transfer money", Ms. Lan Anh in Ho Chi Minh City shared. For payment acceptance units such as small businesses, traders or stores, they must diversify payment methods to meet all payment needs of "customers". In the context that consumers can "get used to" any form of "paying the way they like", the "timeliness" of traders and stores must also be very fast. "Customers are kings. Whatever payment method they want, I will accept it to make them happy. Usually, nowadays everyone likes to swipe QR Code for quick payment or POS payment, bank transfer, everything is fast, safe, and does not waste time for both parties. In addition, I do not need to carry a lot of cash to deposit money to pay for goods and tracking revenue is also easy on electronic banking" - Ms. Thanh Ngan, owner of a fabric stall at Ben Thanh market, Ho Chi Minh City, shared. However, to pay by POS machine, there are many constraints, the fee is also quite high, so often for small traders the cost burden will be quite large: the cost of buying a POS machine can be up to 10 million VND depending on the machine model.
Or on average, renting a POS machine from a payment intermediary will cost a transaction fee ranging from less than 1% to 2% per transaction for domestic ATM cards, from 2% - 2.5% for international cards (VISA, Master...). This is also a barrier for small businesses.
