A faster, safer way to pay with iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad, and Mac

HANOI, April 15, 2025 – Vietcombank is proud to introduce Apple Pay to domestic Vietcombank Connect24 cardholders (Vietcombank NAPAS cardholders) in Vietnam. With Apple Pay, payments in-store, in apps, and online are simple, secure, and private.

Paying in-store is effortless. Just double-click the side button, authenticate with Face ID, Touch ID, or your device passcode, and hold your iPhone or Apple Watch near the payment terminal. There’s no need to enter a PIN. Every Apple Pay transaction is protected by advanced security – including dynamic, one-time-use security codes.

Now, whether you’re grabbing a coffee at Highlands, shopping at Annam Gourmet, or booking a ride with BE, Apple Pay makes checkout faster and more secure anywhere contactless payments are accepted.

"Vietcombank was among the first banks to bring Apple Pay to Vietnam in 2023 with our international Vietcombank Visa cards,” said Ms. Doan Hong Nhung, Head of Retail Banking at Vietcombank. Today, we’re proud to expand this experience to domestic cardholders with Vietcombank Connect24. Our focus on digital banking and customer-first innovation means we’re committed to delivering safer, smarter payment solutions for millions of our cardholders.

Customers can also use Apple Pay on iPhone, iPad, or Mac for a faster, more convenient checkout experience in apps and on the web—no need to create accounts or repeatedly enter shipping, contact, or card information.

Privacy and security are built into Apple Pay. When you use your Vietcombank Connect24 domestic card with Apple Pay, your actual card number is never stored on your device or Apple servers. Instead, a unique Device Account Number is encrypted and stored securely in the Secure Element—a certified industry-standard chip designed to keep your payment information safe.

Getting started is easy. On iPhone, customers can add their Vietcombank Connect24 card directly through the VCB Digibank homepage by tapping the Apple Pay icon. Or, open the Wallet app, tap the ‘+’ symbol, and follow the instructions. Once added to iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad, or Mac, Apple Pay is ready to use immediately.

Even better, customers can instantly register for a digital Vietcombank Connect24 card through the VCB Digibank app—no need to wait. The card is issued instantly, can be added to Apple Pay right away, and comes with the same great benefits and offers as the physical card.
