Visa introduces Click to Pay with leading banks and payment facilitators in Vietnam, transforming the online shopping experience
HCMC, VIETNAM – Media OutReach Newswire – 9 June 2025 – Visa, a world leader in digital payments, is introducing its issuer-offered Click to Pay solution to the market. Military Commercial Joint Stock Bank (MB), Vietnam Technological and Commercial Joint Stock Bank (Techcombank), JSC Bank for Foreign Trade of Vietnam (Vietcombank), Vietnam Joint Stock Commercial Bank for Industry and Trade (VietinBank), and Vietnam Prosperity Joint-Stock Commercial Bank (VPBank) have been the pioneer banks in adopting the solution. For Techcombank and VPBank, Visa cardholders can experience the solution starting today. On the acceptance side, Click to Pay has been adopted by Ngan Luong Payment Gateway JSC (Alepay Gateway), and VietUnion Online Services Corporation (Payoo), Sai Gon Thuong Tin Commercial Joint Stock Bank (Sacombank), and Vietnam Joint Stock Commercial Bank for Industry and Trade (VietinBank).
Click to Pay simplifies online payments by allowing cardholders to complete transactions with just a few clicks, without needing to enter lengthy card and shipping information. It provides consumers with a fast, secure and convenient checkout experience with global acceptance, as Click to Pay is now enabled in even more places where cardholders want to shop online.
According to Visa's Green Shoots Radar survey, which surveyed 1,000 Vietnamese online, 99% of surveyed consumers had shopped online in the last 12 months[1], highlighting the rapid expansion of Vietnam's e-commerce sector. By using an email address or mobile number to verify identity, shoppers can bypass the traditional checkout process, eliminating the need to enter extensive details. Additionally, Click to Pay utilizes cutting-edge technology and global security standards to enhance the safety of information and transactions, providing cardholders with greater peace of mind when making online payments. Click to Pay not only saves time for customers but also reduces cart abandonment rates, benefiting both consumers and retailers.
"Visa is committed to driving innovation in the payments landscape and enabling a seamless, secure, and convenient online shopping experience for consumers. With e-commerce being so ubiquitous in everyday Vietnamese life and in line with the Vietnamese government's digitization goals, we are excited to bring this innovative solution to Vietnamese consumers through the support of our key banking partners. Click to Pay with Visa will transform the way people shop online, preparing them for the future of a more connected digital economy," said Ms. Dung Dang, Visa Country Manager for Vietnam and Laos.
Click to Pay is now available to Techcombank and VPBank Visa cardholders to enroll via the issuer's banking app or participating online merchants. Consumers can look for the Click to Pay icon at participating online merchants both domestically and abroad to enjoy a faster, more secure, and convenient checkout experience.
In Vietnam, Visa has partnered with Payoo – a payment platform serving as a key intermediary for online retail networks – to integrate Click to Pay across Payoo's merchant ecosystem. Participating partners include KOI Thé, UrBox Trading, AEONESHOP, Galaxy Cinema, ACFC, Maison Online, NEM, Elsa English, GearVN, Vietrace365, Hop on Hop off, among others. In the near future, Visa cardholders who use Click to Pay at Payoo-affiliated merchants will enjoy exclusive promotional offers, helping to accelerate the shift toward a more seamless and cashless shopping experience.
Shoppers on platforms such as LG Electronics Vietnam, British Council, PVI Insurance, PropertyGuru Vietnam (batdongsan.com), Mai Nguyen Electronics, and Triumph International Vietnam can enjoy frictionless transactions, as payments are processed through the Alepay Gateway, provided by Ngan Luong Payment Gateway JSC. More merchants are expected to participate in the coming months.
Click to Pay is designed to transform digital checkouts and meet EMVCo standards. It utilises the Visa Token Service (VTS) to provide multiple layers of advanced security, enhancing authorization rates and reducing fraud in digital commerce. By replacing sensitive card information, such as the 16-digit Primary Account Numbers (PANs), with tokens, VTS can reduce fraud by 58%[2] and increase authorization rates by an average of 2.5% in Asia Pacific[3], compared to PAN-based card-not-present (CNP) transactions. Click to Pay with Visa simplifies the checkout experience for customers – it's like contactless payments in-store, but for online shopping.

'Not a negotiation': US, China officials have 'positive' meeting amid tariff focus
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Friday he had a "positive" meeting with his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi on the sidelines of Asean talks in Malaysia, where Washington's tariffs are in sharp focus. Rubio and Wang's first face-to-face meeting since US President Donald Trump returned to office came as Washington and Beijing are locked in disputes ranging from trade to Taiwan; and both powers vie for greater influence in the region. "I thought it was very constructive and positive meeting," Rubio told reporters after the hour-long talks, but stressed "it was not a negotiation". "I think we left it feeling as there's some areas we're gonna be able to work together on." Rubio also expressed confidence that a meeting between US President Donald Trump and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping would happen. "There's a strong desire on both sides to do it," Rubio said, adding no date had been set. Wang and Rubio are in Kuala Lumpur for a gathering of foreign ministers from the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, which Japan, South Korea and Australia and other nations are also attending. US officials said ahead of Rubio's first trip to the region as secretary of state that Washington was "prioritising" its commitment to East and Southeast Asia. 'Massive deficits' But US tariffs have overshadowed the three-day conference, and Rubio defended the widespread duties as necessary to rebalance America's trade relationships. "If you look at some of these trade deficits, they're massive. That has to be addressed," Rubio said at the end of his whirlwind trip. "Everybody here is a mature leader who understands that that's not sustainable." Trump has threatened punitive tariffs ranging from 20 to 50 percent against more than 20 countries, many of them in Asia, if they do not strike deals with Washington by August 1. Asean expressed "concern" over tariffs, which it described as "counterproductive" and a threat to regional growth, according to a Joint Communique released Friday. Long-time US ally Japan faces a 25 percent across-the-board levy, separate from similar charges for cars, steel and aluminium that have already been imposed. Seoul faces a similar tariff. Earlier, on Friday, Rubio met his Japanese and South Korean counterparts, with his spokeswoman Tammy Bruce calling it an "indispensable relationship". Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, however, said this week that tariffs were being used as "sharpened instruments of geopolitical rivalry". Wang on Thursday said the US tariff drive "undermines the free trade system". "The United States' imposition of high tariffs on Cambodia and Southeast Asian countries is an attempt to deprive all parties of their legitimate rights to development," Wang said. Tensions between Washington and Beijing have ratcheted up since Trump took office in January, with both countries engaging in a tariff war that briefly sent duties on each other's exports sky-high. 'Total reset' At one point the United States hit China with additional levies of 145 percent on its goods as both sides engaged in tit-for-tat escalation. China's countermeasures on US goods reached 125 percent. Beijing and Washington agreed in May to temporarily slash their staggeringly high tariffs, an outcome Trump dubbed a "total reset". However, deep mistrust remains between the two countries, with each suspecting the other of trying to weaken its influence. US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth accused China in late May of "credibly preparing to potentially use military force to alter the balance of power" in the Asia-Pacific region. He also claimed that Beijing "trains every day" to invade Taiwan, which China claims as part of its territory. In response, Chinese diplomats accused the United States of using the Taiwan issue to "contain China" and called on Washington to stop "playing with fire".

The hidden complexity of tokenisation: Why implementation is harder than it looks?
The checkout point is where the full weight of customer acquisition hinges, so a failed payment at this part of the funnel is not just friction, but a missed sale for many stakeholders. That's why enabling safe, one-click payments is the emerging gold standard in mobile payments and e-commerce. Tokenisation is the method that can facilitate a consistently smooth and successful checkout experience at scale, which is why it is so desired in the payments space. A successful tokenisation implementation has something in it for everyone. Customers get to make an effortless purchase, the merchant completes the transaction, and card issuers reap the benefits of fewer false declines or fraudulent transactions, less compliance liability, and lower processing costs. When tokenisation works well, it can be frictionless, but implementing it is hardly ever so. Many businesses assume that tokenisation is a plug-and-play solution. The reality is more complicated. Underneath the surface lies the difficulty of technical integration, legacy system constraints and fragmented standards. These serious roadblocks often slow down implementation and reduce impact. For payment providers facing the pressure to innovate, the challenge of slow execution can be costly, not just in time and resources, but in lost sales. The promise of tokenisation in virtual card issuing Tokenisation is rapidly gaining traction across the payments ecosystem, with global transaction volumes expected to surpass one trillion by 2026. The benefits of tokenisation are most evident with virtual card issuing, where secure and flexible card provisioning happens without exposing the underlying PAN. Virtual cards can be issued instantly and used across channels by replacing sensitive card data with randomised, network-issued tokens that are useless when intercepted by fraudsters. Common challenges like expired card details are no longer a barrier as virtual cards are automatically updated, making them ideal for rapid and convenient payments of all kinds. One thing is clear – as payment ecosystems grow more intricate and fraud tactics evolve, consumers will show little patience for clunky or sluggish checkout experiences. How tokenisation enhances payment security Unlike traditional encryption, which requires complex key management, tokens are format-preserving yet carry no intrinsic value outside the specific transaction flow they were created for. In simple terms, tokenisation reduces the risk of data breaches and increases PCI DSS compliance. According to industry data, network tokenisation can reduce fraud rates by up to 30%, and some sources cite an average fraud reduction of 26% across card-not-present transactions. Mastercard, for example, has reported a 3 to 6 percentage point increase in transaction approvals since implementing its tokenisation technology, shining a light on the operational upside of adopting tokens over raw card data. Increased complexity with increased vendor numbers As the payment ecosystem becomes increasingly crowded, tokenisation often hits a wall, not because of the technology itself, but the complexity of combining multiple ecosystem players. It's no surprise that many issuers grapple with a steep complexity curve. What begins as a focused implementation quickly escalates as the number of integration points grows. With multiple CMS vendors, an expanding number of card schemes and the rise of digital wallets, each with its own tokenisation protocols and update mechanisms, we can see how the orchestration effort becomes exponentially more complicated. Every additional system adds a new layer of requirements, dependencies and failure points. Without a robust orchestration layer that is flexible and interoperable enough to coordinate tokens across infrastructures, issuers risk introducing latency, reducing authorisation rates and exposing themselves to operational blind spots. Regulatory and compliance challenges While tokenisation inherently reduces exposure to sensitive cardholder data, issuers and merchants must still navigate a complex web of regional and international regulations. In Europe, for instance, GDPR imposes strict requirements on how personal and payment data is stored, processed and transferred, regardless of whether it's tokenised. Likewise, PCI DSS standards govern the security posture of any system interacting with card data, even if that data is in token form. For global issuers, the challenge can compound – what satisfies regulators in one region may fall short elsewhere. What's more, virtual cards introduce their own compliance considerations, especially around transaction traceability, auditability and the handling of expired or reissued credentials. Financial institutions risk delayed rollouts, audit penalties and customer trust erosion without a consistent and adaptable compliance framework. The need for ongoing compliance Card issuers know that compliance isn't a one-time exercise. As regulatory landscapes shift in response to evolving threats and technological advances, businesses must treat compliance as a continuous process. Emerging standards, updates to existing frameworks and tightening data protection laws mean that what's compliant today may not be tomorrow. For firms operating across borders, this complexity multiplies, requiring them to monitor regional developments, adapt internal policies, and often retool parts of their infrastructure to remain in step. This dynamic environment demands more than just legal oversight, but agile systems and partnerships that can flex with regulatory change. Why Choose Stanchion's Tokenisation and Virtual Card Issuing Services?
