The National Payment Corporation of Vietnam (NAPAS) has brought Apple Pay to its cardholders in Vietnam from April 15.

Apple Pay is an easy, secure and private way to pay in-store, in-app and online.

To pay in-store, customers simply double-click the side button, authenticate and hold their iPhone or Apple Watch near a payment terminal to make a contactless payment. Customers are not asked to enter their PIN code when making in-store purchases with Apple Pay. Every Apple Pay purchase is secure because it is authenticated with Face ID, Touch ID, or device passcode, as well as a one-time unique dynamic security code. 

Customers can also use Apple Pay on iPhone, iPad and Mac to make faster and more convenient purchases in apps or on the web without having to create accounts or repeatedly type in contact information, card details, shipping and billing information.

NAPAS has coordinated with banks to enable Apple Pay with NAPAS domestic cards starting with Vietcombank and OCB. NAPAS will also coordinate with payment service providers, such as OnePay, VNPay, and Zalo Pay to expand the acceptance of Apple Pay for NAPAS domestic cards.
