    Vietnam's payment infrastructure: identity at its core

    Vietnam's fintech story is often told through wallets, QR codes, and super apps. But the more important story may be the payment infrastructure behind them. In many markets, KYC is procurement. In Vietnam, identity is a state database you connect to.

    Inside Vietnam's bank transfer system: NAPAS 247 and SIMO

    I was scammed through a bank transfer, less than VND 2 million for a hotel booking that did not exist. My starting question: what could my bank know about the account I was paying? I explored how NAPAS 247 carries interbank payments, and how SIMO helps banks assess suspicious destinations.
