Under the theme “One Touch, Infinite Trust,” Vietnam Card Day 2025 continues to embody the spirit of innovation, creativity, and breakthrough in the digital era. The event aims to make cashless payments ubiquitous and accessible to a wide range of customers while promoting smart, secure, and modern spending habits across society. It also serves as a practical initiative to realize Resolution 57 of the Government, which focuses on advancing digital payments and laying the groundwork for future advancements in finance and technology.
Organized by Tien Phong Newspaper and the National Payment Corporation of Vietnam (NAPAS), under the guidance of the State Bank of Vietnam, Vietnam Card Day 2025 will take place from September 26 to October 26, 2025.
The highlight of the event is the “Wave Festival,” a vibrant two-day celebration on October 18 and 19 at Bach Khoa Stadium, Hanoi. Featuring the debut of the “Touch Vietnam” music festival with performances by beloved artists and 5,000 complimentary tickets for students, the event also hosts hundreds of booths from banks, financial institutions, tech companies, education providers, fashion brands, and food vendors. This creates a comprehensive experience tailored for the youth.
Attendees will enjoy an immersive tech-entertainment space, including QR scanning, contactless payments, e-wallets, and tens of thousands of exciting gifts and offers. The fusion of technology, music, and shopping transforms Vietnam Card Day 2025 into a true “digital finance festival,” where young people can explore a cashless lifestyle.
As a sponsor, SHB will offer standout activities such as guiding customers through online eKYC account opening, owning premium digital accounts, issuing new international debit cards, and experiencing the next-gen SHB SAHA digital banking app.
Additionally, SHB provides exclusive offers for customers opening new products or services during the event, including physical gifts, shopping vouchers, and a referral program with rewards. These benefits not only offer practical value but also promote smart and secure spending habits.
Specifically, customers opening an online eKYC account via the SHB SAHA app receive a phone top-up discount code. For those seeking personalization, SHB offers premium digital accounts at discounted rates, even up to 100% off. These programs make banking faster and more convenient while adding a personal touch for young users.
For daily transactions, SHB offers practical perks like discounts on phone top-ups during “golden days” and a referral program rewarding both referrers and referees. This approach aligns with customer spending habits and fosters digital experiences among Gen Z.
