Experience the Zalopay New Year Fes 2026, a grand fusion of a mega music festival and an extensive shopping extravaganza, taking place from January 8th to 11th at Nguyen Hue Walking Street, Ho Chi Minh City. This event is Zalopay’s way of expressing gratitude to its users, extending wishes for a “prosperous new year” where wealth is measured not just by account balances, but also by how financial flow enhances life experiences. It’s also an opportunity for Zalopay to showcase its cutting-edge technological solutions.
During the festival, Zalopay will unveil the beta version of its Tap to Pay feature for the first time. The standout aspect of this solution is its simplicity: users only need to locate a POS terminal with a contactless symbol, open the Zalopay app, and tap their phone to complete the transaction.
Seamless payments with Zalopay: just tap your phone on the POS terminal.
By leveraging the widely available POS infrastructure, Zalopay’s Tap to Pay ensures flexibility across all domestic card acceptance points. It also enhances payment convenience while traveling in countries that prioritize card transactions.
Initially, Zalopay is rolling out this feature to a select group of users and testing it at the New Year Fes to gather direct feedback. Based on this input, Zalopay will refine the solution before making it available to all users in the near future.
With its simplicity and reduced transaction time, this solution is particularly beneficial in high-traffic areas like metros, buses, and parking lots. It also optimizes operations in public spaces, where speed and seamlessness are increasingly prioritized. Broadly, streamlining frequent, small transactions contributes to enhanced efficiency in public environments.
Zalopay is the pioneering Vietnamese fintech to implement Tap to Pay at card acceptance points. According to Zalopay representatives, the introduction of Tap to Pay aligns with their strategy to build a diverse payment ecosystem within a single app. This allows Zalopay users to choose between QR scanning and tapping, depending on the context and their needs, thereby boosting the platform’s competitiveness in the dynamic digital payment market.
Zalopay users simply open the app and tap their phone on a contactless-enabled terminal for swift transactions.
As Vietnam accelerates its national digital transformation, Zalopay’s solution demonstrates that digital payments are not just about technology, but also about long-term infrastructure strategies, standards, and ecosystem connectivity. Tap to Pay with Zalopay is more than a new feature; it signifies Vietnam’s readiness to embrace advanced international payment technologies, enabling users to stay aligned with global trends.
