Vietnam’s digital economy is still growing continuously, with its gross merchandise value (GMV) reaching up to US$36 billion in 2024. There’s hardly any doubt that it could become a goldmine for the country’s 5.2 million SMEs, constituting 45% of Vietnam’s GDP. Despite this, such enterprises struggle with issues related to administration, cash management, and payments, which limits their business growth.
“Vietnamese SMEs drive the economy, but operational challenges can hold them back,” said Ms. Dung Dang, Visa Country Manager for Vietnam and Laos. “Visa is committed to providing innovative solutions that simplify digital payments, cross-border transactions, and expense management. Our collaboration with Base reflects our dedication to equipping Vietnamese businesses with essential tools and knowledge, including the upcoming version of Practical Business Skills, a global digital platform offering free educational resources to help SMB owners make informed decisions and grow their businesses.”
“We’re excited to partner with Visa again for SaaS Day 2024,” said Mr. Nguyen Thuong Tuong Minh, CEO of Base.vn. “This collaboration empowers businesses through technology. SaaS Day is a key platform for showcasing opportunities and fostering connections that will drive the future of Vietnamese business, especially with the launch of Base CRM and Base Service, and new integrations with key partners.”
Visa has always shown commitment to supporting SMEs across the Asia Pacific region. Visa inks a strategic MoU with VINASME to sponsor key resources and training to uplift the SME sector’s digital transformation and financial prospects in September 2024. At the same time, the Commercial Solutions Client Forum is an annual gathering that Elizabeth operates. The current and upcoming trends and opportunities in the commercial money movement are presented, alongside details of how Visa assists businesses such as commercial card & money movement solutions and other payment tech innovations.
