Vietnam Credit Card Market Report 2024

Despite a temporary slowdown in 2023 following weakening consumer demand surrounded by unfavourable economic conditions, the credit card market sustained double-digit growth in terms of both active card volume and transaction value. In the first half of 2023, the number of credit cards in circulation multiplied by 2.4 times compared to 2018, and the transaction value via credit cards increased by 35% p.a. 

Notably, the market has seen a significant boost from domestic credit cards, with their circulation increasing approximately fourfold over the last five years thanks to the widespread adoption of NAPAS-based cards by commercial banks and finance companies (FinCos).  

The credit card market in Vietnam embraces huge growth potential backed by its low penetration compared to regional countries, robust growth of e-commerce and online services, and the acceleration of digital payments. Also, the shift in consumer behaviour toward contactless payment indicates a promising prospect for credit card development.
