Vietcombank is one of the banks with the largest number of cards and ATM system in the market, so the conversion cost is huge. However, at present, this bank is still free to convert customers from magnetic cards to chip cards to increase safety, increase convenience, shorten payment time …
Currently, Vietnam has 48 banks that have issued about 76 million magnetic cards. According to the plan, by the end of 2021, all existing magnetic cards will be converted to chips.

People pay by chip card with contactless technology for small value transactions just need to perform one touch of the card to the POS machine to complete the transaction.
