HO CHI MINH CITY, VIETNAM - Media OutReach - 27 December 2019 - As Vietnam shifts its focus from low-tech manufacturing to a service-oriented economy, more efforts are going into building its information technology (IT) industry. Vietnam continues to grow as a regional market for both domestic and global technology companies.

One of the sectors within the tech industry showing great promise for growth is Vietnam's fintech industry, expected to hit US$7.8 billion in revenue by 2020. An estimated 120 companies and brands cover a wide range of services, from wealth management to blockchain and digital payments.
