In addition, changing chip cards for customers also takes time.

Sharing the same view, Mr. Tran Cong Quynh Lan, Deputy General Director of Vietinbank said that when changing to a chip card, the bank had to change a series of machines, the cost of issuing a chip card is also much higher than a magnetic card.
