By the end of 2025, Zalopay plans to introduce a new feature that allows international guests to make QR payments in Vietnam using Visa and Mastercard cards issued in any country, thus expanding its global payment connectivity.
Earlier, from March 2025, Zalopay became Vietnam’s pioneering payment application, allowing users to scan QR codes for payments at over 120,000 stores within the NETS and SGQR networks in Singapore.

“Regarding the domestic market, in the very near future, users will be able to use the Zalopay application to scan QR codes for WiFi, bank card information, or even license plate numbers to check and immediately pay for traffic fines. Thus, opening Zalopay to scan QR codes will not be limited to just making payments but will become a habit associated with daily activities,” said Mr. Tran Ba Khoi Nguyen.
Regarding security, Zalopay’s representative said that they have implemented multiple layers of “invisible protection,” such as warnings when transferring money to risky accounts or requesting reconfirmation upon detecting abnormal operations.

Regarding cross-border QR payments, the National Payment Corporation of Vietnam (NAPAS) shared that following the Government’s orientation and under the direction of the State Bank, as the provider of the national retail payment infrastructure, the company has implemented plans to expand cross-border payment connectivity with multiple Asian countries.
To date, NAPAS has completed connections with Thailand, Cambodia, and Laos and is actively coordinating to deploy connections with other countries, including China, South Korea, and Japan. The cross-border QR payment service between Vietnam and China is expected to be completed this year.
According to experts, cross-border payment connectivity is a trend in many countries in the region and worldwide, aiming to promote the use of local currencies in payment activities and economic development in general.
