Does Vietnam have cashless payments?

So, you’re wondering if Vietnam’s gone cashless? Oh man, let me tell you, it’s a whole different world over there! Yes, absolutely, they’re way into cashless payments. Seriously, I was blown away. I mean, I knew it was happening, but seeing it in action… It’s one of the highest rates in all of Southeast Asia, I read somewhere – something like that. They really jumped on the digital bandwagon.

E-wallets are everywhere. I remember trying to pay for a bowl of pho (the best pho, by the way!) in Hanoi and the little street vendor just scanned my phone! It was super quick and easy. And everyone uses them, from the tiny street food stalls to the fancy restaurants. You know, it’s much more convenient than fumbling around with Vietnamese Dong all the time. Who wants to carry that much cash around in the humidity anyway? Ugh.

MoMo, that’s the big one, the king of the e-wallet hill in Vietnam. It’s everywhere. Even my aunt, who’s, like, eighty years old, uses it. I swear, I thought she’d be stuck with cash forever, but nope! She’s more tech-savvy than me sometimes! Makes me feel kinda old…haha. Anyway, yeah, expect to see even more people using e-wallets in the future. It’s just getting bigger and bigger. So yeah, don’t worry about needing tons of cash when you go. Your phone’s your best friend there!
