How FinFan can connect Zalo and Remitly to resolve the problem of sending money to Vietnam easily?

FinFan, a Neobank specializing in cross-border payment and money transfer in Vietnam, had a License of Foreign Currencies Acceptance and Payment approved by the Central Bank of Vietnam in 2014, licensing from our Strategy Bank to do Banking services, and was the first entity in Vietnam allowed to disburse money into E-wallet.

By taking advantage of all the above licenses, we have created an integrated API system called ewallet aggregator to connect services between domestic ewallets and remittance services from abroad.

Therefore, remittance senders can directly send money from the US to Vietnam through partner sites such as Remitly, which will then be collected by the API system and transferred to Zalo Pay to complete the process of the delivery of remittances.

How can the senders send remittances through Remitly directly to receivers’ Zalo Pay ewallets?

The sender can follow the following steps to make the remittance process done:

  • Step 1: Visit Remitly’s website and create an account. After signing up, click on "Send Money", then go to "New Recipient" to create a new transfer.
  • Step 2: Select "Mobile Money", and then opt for a variety of Zalo Pay ewallet. Please note that you should choose the one where the Beneficiary already has a registered Zalo Pay ewallet account.
  • Step 3: Fill out the Beneficiary's details, including First name, Middle name, Last name, and the phone number successfully registered as an ewallet account by the Zalo Pay ewallet provider. Finally, to complete the transfer, enter the Sender information such as Name, Address, Phone Number, and Card Information.
