According to Visa's Green Shoots Radar survey, which surveyed 1,000 Vietnamese online, 99% of surveyed consumers had shopped online in the last 12 months[1], highlighting the rapid expansion of Vietnam's e-commerce sector. By using an email address or mobile number to verify identity, shoppers can bypass the traditional checkout process, eliminating the need to enter extensive details. Additionally, Click to Pay utilizes cutting-edge technology and global security standards to enhance the safety of information and transactions, providing cardholders with greater peace of mind when making online payments. Click to Pay not only saves time for customers but also reduces cart abandonment rates, benefiting both consumers and retailers.
'Visa is committed to driving innovation in the payments landscape and enabling a seamless, secure, and convenient online shopping experience for consumers. With e-commerce being so ubiquitous in everyday Vietnamese life and in line with the Vietnamese government's digitization goals, we are excited to bring this innovative solution to Vietnamese consumers through the support of our key banking partners. Click to Pay with Visa will transform the way people shop online, preparing them for the future of a more connected digital economy,' said Ms. Dung Dang, Visa Country Manager for Vietnam and Laos.

Click to Pay is designed to transform digital checkouts and meet EMVCo standards. It utilises the Visa Token Service (VTS) to provide multiple layers of advanced security, enhancing authorization rates and reducing fraud in digital commerce. By replacing sensitive card information, such as the 16-digit Primary Account Numbers (PANs), with tokens, VTS can reduce fraud by 58%[2] and increase authorization rates by an average of 2.5% in Asia Pacific[3], compared to PAN-based card-not-present (CNP) transactions. Click to Pay with Visa simplifies the checkout experience for customers – it's like contactless payments in-store, but for online shopping.

Musk's X to offer investment, trading in 'super app' push, FT reports
X CEO Linda Yaccarino has said users will soon be able to make investments or trades on the social media platform, the Financial Times reported on Thursday, a move to support billionaire owner Elon Musk's vision to create an "everything app." In an interview with the publisher, Yaccarino said the company was exploring the introduction of an X credit or debit card, which could come as soon as this year. Musk, who in April 2022 clinched a $44 billion deal to buy Twitter and later rebranded it as X, has signaled plans to model it as a "super app," similar to China's WeChat. The social media platform did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment. "2025 X will connect you in ways never thought possible. X TV, X Money, Grok and more," Yaccarino wrote in a post in December last year. Payments giant Visa and X partnered to offer direct payment solutions to customers of the social media app, a person familiar with the matter said earlier this year. A super app, or what Musk refers to as an "everything app," has been described as the Swiss army knife of mobile apps, offering a suite of services for users such as messaging, social networking, payments and e-commerce shopping. X hired NBCUniversal advertising chief Yaccarino as CEO in 2023 amid advertiser exodus from the platform as they worried that their ads could appear next to inappropriate content. Yaccarino said that 96% of X's ad clients prior to acquisition had now come back to the platform, the Financial Times report said. The company is poised for its first year of ad revenue growth this year since its acquisition by Musk, according to data from research firm Emarketer in March. X had filed a lawsuit in federal court in Texas against the World Federation of Advertisers, accusing them of unlawfully conspiring to boycott the site and causing it to lose revenue.
